{A Family Session in Rural Iowa}

I grew up spending most of my childhood with this family. Other than grandparents, my aunt, uncle and cousins were the one extended family we spent most of our time with. They are my second family and I have soooo many fond memories with them. All of the important milestones, they were not only there but in front and centered and heavily involved. I can’t imagine those milestones without them. Every family meal, birthday, holiday or random day…they were always there, bringing plenty of fun and laughs. I’m so thankful we live so close and are able to spend the time together. I’m also so grateful to be there for them for every family and senior session and now weddings.

This day was another hot and sweaty one! Not even the slightest breeze to give us some sort of relief. But we learned a pretty cool trick! If you get any sweat spots on moisture-wicking material like my uncle’s shirt, just take it off and drench it with bottles of water and then put it back on. HAHAHA!!!! Really though! It works! Couldn’t see any sweat marks, the material looked natural AND it will cool you down! So there’s your new clothing hack for the day! HA!

These girls’ makeup is FLAWLESS!!!!
