We have been out and about this past week and spent some time at my parent’s house out in the country. Little Miss and our dog Dudley are in absolute bliss when they are there. More room to run than they know what to do with and of course Grandma and Grandpa spoil them both…
Beautiful!
adorable!
I first laid eyes on this baby boy 6 months ago at his newborn session. He was the tiniest little thing. Well. To say I barely recognized him at his 6 month session is an understatement. He has more rolls than a bakery and I could barely keep my hands off him! Not to mention…
Very sweet, and so cute! Looks just like his Dad at that age.
Love, Greatgrandma Sheryl
What a cute little guy!!! LOVE all those rolls!!!
I want to squeeeeeeze him! Love the rolls.
For awhile I have been wanting to photograph this incredible woman. She happens to be my cousin. She was the flower girl in my parent’s wedding. We rode horses on the farm. I looked up to her in her in her ACDC t-shirt (which I eventually inherited)…and now again in our 30′s. This gorgeous woman….
im a little obsessed with the black and white hand shot.
um love.
love these. just stunning. great work.
A.MAZ.ING. These are incredible images! You are so talented it blows my mind.
FABULOUS concept. Love your idea. These images are breathtaking. I assume she is pretty happy with them!?!?

Breathtaking for us mere mortals who thrive on beauty. Your color here is perfection. No doubt she loves these and will for decades.
These photos are unbelievable! Jill, I’m liking the tatoo work better all the time. You’ll have to wear those two dresses all the time so everybody can enjoy the beauty. Jess you are so good at sitting up the scenery and pose. Oh, to be young again.
Stunning.Amazing.Beautiful.Love them!
Stunning,absolutely stunning. Kudos to both ladies on a job well done!
XOXO
Increible.
And no, that is not incredible spelled incorrectly. These photos were so amazing I felt I needed to comment in a different language!
Beautiful.
What a beautiful set! -just stunning! I love the location too. Where is this?
I finally got around to taking her pictures. We drove past this field the other day and I about drove off the road! It is the most stunning spot…so much so we went home and threw an outfit together and drove straight back. These might be some of my favorite photographs I have ever taken…
She is perfection. Just beautiful!
stunning!
What an incredible attitude you have. Instead of being bitter and questioning the path God has you on, you have an amazing heart of gratitude. I’m so sorry to hear that your adoption journey has ended. But it’s obvious that you have an amazing little family and I just know He has great plans for you all.
And the photos, gorgeous.
holy crap! that first shot is to die for! they are all amazing. truly.
Pink boots and sun rays. Sweet expressions that do reveal her as strong and shy.
I am sorry to hear about your quest hitting such a roadblock that doesn’t seem to make any sense to you as a family wanting to make a home for a child who has none. wishing you more beauty to ease that disappointment.
I’m a bit of a stalker and not much of a commenter but these pictures are breath-taking. Extraordinary. She’s absolutely beautiful.
All amazing, lover her expressions. The cabbage patch doll on her shoulders with her hair hanging over her face is the KICKER!
The pictures are great! I can’t believe how much she has grown. She looks so tall. I completely understand the multitude of emotions. We, too, have ended our adoption journey. Unless God brings a child to our doorstep we will be a family of two. But God has also provided such great contentment and satisfaction in Him! I can’t explain it other than His grace. For me, the key is being THANKFUL for whatever and wherever! Keep snapping that camera! I love checking your site and seeing new pics!
AMAZING!
These are unbelievable! Truly amazing. I love the location! It’s pictures like these that make me so excited to shoot with you again
um, beautiful. So sorry to hear about the adoption. You, me, and Emily are now the banded brood of three… if we only knew where life was going to be taking us. I guess at this point I have to believe it is all about the journey.
love the haircut!! and sad but happy for you and your journey… everything for a reason…xoxo
The beauty of the girl trumps the beauty of the field (and it is, indeed, beautiful)…what perfect shots!!
oh. wow. they are stunning jess. the lighting, the field, the outfit…a work of art for sure!
Love.
That is the word that comes to mind when I think of this family. Their love for each other could not be more obvious. I made a little trip to Milwaukee last weekend to photograph these sweet friends of ours. We met a fews years ago when we adopted our daughter’s from Vietnam. They recently…
Are you kidding me? LOVE them. They are amazing.
Jess, these are FABULOUS!!!
I’m still staring. Thank you again. We love them all and love you to pieces!
um loving major. the first one kills me.
Oh my goodness. Fantastic.
Smitten is the perfect term! They are all fabulous and their personalities just draw you in through those photos. Fabulous shoot and fabulous family — a total WIN WIN! Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous!
gorgeous photos. gorgeous family.
Absolutely delightful! Those little girls are just so darn full of spirit. Wonderful shoot, Jess.
