a little while back i had a message on my cell phone. it was from this mom. she starts off, "hi, mandie, this is ***** luke, i don't know if you remember us...."

okay, hold on right there. are you kidding. of course i remembered them. who could forget the two cutest little bubbly red heads.

i started getting giddy when the end of her message said they wanted to schedule another session this year. these girls are so adorable. and they have so many ideas of their own on pictures they want taken of themselves. i just kind of sit back, listen and snap away. i should definitely hire them as assistants.



breathtakingly adorable.



told you they were bubbly, and let's not leave out energetic.









thank you, luke family, for letting me capture a few more moments of your adorable family.

i have done a lot of sessions this fall. and most of them have been requested to be at this park. this park has been absolutely breathtaking this year.

problem: what do you get when you combine a late saturday afternoon, beautiful weather, and a gorgeous park with fall colors?

give up....people and photographers.

i was blown away at how many people there were roaming around this park during the evancic's session. it was insane. but still fun!

i had a harder time getting the dog to look rather than baby.



sweet nibblicious cheeks. i so just made that word up.



my favorite of the session.



thank you, evancic family, for letting capture a few moments of your little family and for waiting in line to get most of them. =)
