SO. MUCH. JOY! I mean, no other words come to mind when I see these beautiful faces! It’s been so fun to watch this family grow. From the first time I met them a few years ago when they were a couple, to newlyweds, and now to a wonderful family of three. And there was JOY each step of the way! They are sweet, kind, loving and easy-going people. And their love for Jesus and for each other just shines through in everything they do! I wish I still lived in Morgantown so I could see more of them!

As soon as I saw Rachel, Jacob, and Julius the day of their session, I knew it was going to be a great day. Their outfits were just perfect, and the weather was great!  Julius is a whole bundle of personality, energy, and enthusiasm! He is so independent, determined and so stinking cute! If this redheaded blue-eyed little guy won’t melt your heart, then I don’t know what will!

I can never pass up a moment during the session to get a few shots of just Mom and Dad. These moments have such a special place in my heart. Just look at these two! All the heart eyes, am I right!? Rachel and Jacob haven’t had their photos taken since their wedding, and I am so glad I was able to snap a few. Just in time for their anniversary too! (A special thank you to uncle Lucas for watching Julius during this time! Couldn’t have done it without you!)

I had so much fun photographing this amazing family! I think their loving and joyful personalities came through these images. Rachel and Jacob, thank you so much for letting me be a part of these moments in your family’s lives! You guys are picture perfect! And I hope you enjoy your photos as much as I do!

Here are a few of my favorites from our time together
