I’ve known this family for quite a while! Jonathan and I grew up in church together and when he met and married Emily, she joined the church as well! Their family has grown by 2 adorable kids and I am so happy to share their cuteness. Enjoy!

What a fun loving family!!! From riding bikes to playing with their dog to roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, these guys know how to have a good time! I really enjoyed spending a beautiful evening with them!
The kids are gorgeous!
I loved the vibrant colors of the flowers on Roanoke College Campus!
Look at those happy faces!
FAVORITE!!! This would make an awesome canvas, don’t you think!!
Ron and Susan have a photo just like this when they only had 2! They requested that we recreate it plus Chase!
Their neighborhood is just adorable. I want to buy a house on their street!
Bikes are always present around this home. It brought back memories from my childhood where I lived on my bike during the summer!!
Beautiful evening light!
Their adorable “Hershey”!
Don’t you want this to be your life?! I’m sure this happens every night, right?!!! 
Next up – S’mores!
The Grandpa’s joined us for these!
Thank you Ron and Susan, for allowing me to be part of your family for an evening! You are truly blessed!

Last weekend, I had the chance to spend a wonderful morning with Mike, Linnsey and Baby Reagan. I loved this little family so much! Baby Reagan is adorable and full of personality! 5 minutes after I walked in their house, she reached out for me to hold her. I just melted!
See? Isn’t she adorable?! She was just up from a nap and Mama was trying to dress a very wiggly baby!
I know they spend a lot of time here!
Reagan loves Linnsey’s hair!
When I was there, Reagan was so close to figuring out how to crawl! It was a good thing she hadn’t because I was able to get these shots, which would have never been possible with a crawling baby! However, on her Facebook page, Linnsey just posted that Reagan had started crawling! Go Reagan!
Smooches from Daddy!
Love her eyes!
A quick snack before we headed to the park!
I loved the painting on the wall in Reagan’s room!
As a family, they love to spend time outdoors and this park is a favorite place to walk.
Watching the geese! Although, I do think that at some point, the railing was of more interest!
I just want to eat her toes in this one!
My kind of family portraits – laid back fun!
I’m just that funny!
Mike and Linnsey were dedicating Reagan the following morning at church. Linnsey’s grandmother made this amazing dress for Reagan! All the props came from Mike and Linnsey’s house, and the park had the perfect place for these pictures!
This makes me laugh!
Oh so cute!!!!
At the end of the session, Reagan was wearing out. She popped her thumb right in her mouth and surprised Linnsey! It may not be her normal habit, but it sure was cute! She even fell asleep in the car on the way home!
Mike and Linnsey, thanks so much for sharing your beautiful family with me! I loved every minute!

Let’s talk soon!
When your evening starts out with bubbles, you know you’re going to have a good time!
Jackson was a pro at blowing really big ones! Don’t you just love his freckles!
Abigail had the hardest time! I think we determined it was her new missing tooth!
I’ve been waiting to photograph these kids for almost 2 years now!!! I just love their dark eyelashes!
When Kathy and I chatted about where to do their pictures, one thing she mentioned was how much they enjoyed taking walks in their neighborhood. So, we took a walk!
When we crossed the street we found the most perfect light! I think this may be my favorite!
They went swimming earlier in the day. I think Abigail was worn out, but it made for a sweet moment with Mom!
Now you know why these kids are so gorgeous! Mom & Dad lookin’ pretty good!
A little storytime.
I do love this book
Jackson play guitar!
A quick wardrobe change and we headed to the park.
This just makes me smile!
And this makes me giggle!
Apparently there was a spontaneous dance party!
I had a great time with you guys! Thanks Kathy and John for letting me spend the evening with your beautiful family! I hope the ice cream was amazing:)

James and Jennifer are now Mommy and Daddy! And like any new parent, they are completely and totally in love with their baby girl. She takes their breath away with her smile and their eyes light up when she’s happy. She is the center of their universe. They are smitten!
Baby Addison is just too cute! She had me smitten too!
A quick change – I love this slice of everyday life!
Beautiful baby eyelashes
I adore baby bellies!!!!
Even though it was pouring rain when I arrived for their session, the swing was dry enough to spend some time on! One of my favorites! I want a porch swing!!!
Snuggles with Mommy and Daddy!
Love !
I just want to nibble the baby fingers!!
Hands down, my very favorite! LOVE!
Back inside for another change and a giggle with Mom!
Sweet toes!
Funny face!
I love Addy’s room! Babies always look so tiny in their cribs!
This makes me smile!
Addy has just discovered her tongue! It cracks me up! Watch the slideshow for more photos of her tongue action!
Addy loves it when Daddy tickles her feet!
I love this photo, although, James and Jennifer will tell you that Addy was just done at this point! She was a trooper, despite not feeling herself and the rainy weather.

But, before you do, let me tell you just how special this little baby is! James and Jennifer have been so blessed to be given such a beautiful, sweet little girl. However, Baby Addison is sick. Just a few months ago, she was diagnosed with SMA Type 1. With the support of their family and friends, Addison, James, and Jennifer continue to pursue treatment and a cure. One thing is sure, Addison is loved beyond words.
Thank you James and Jennifer for sharing your family with me! You are in my prayers and I know that our God will provide everything you need.
Many blessings,
Lori
