I absolutely LOVE small town life. My husband and I get our Christmas tree from Rudolph’s Christmas Tree Farm (on Sonricker in Attica) every year. This year, I called with this whole speech about me getting my tree from them, how I’m a photographer, I’ll plug their business, can I PLEASE have my mini sessions there? The man I spoke to was like. YES. The end. No questions asked. So I’ve been there 4 times since.

This family is super special to me. They live out of state, but come in for most holidays (and ALL family emergencies) so I was beyond excited when we were able to schedule a session.

Three-year-olds are some of my toughest customers. Our strategy? Well, we started with “SAY ARIEL” and this little girl would smile and say “Ariel!” Next we went with “SAY I LOVE JENI” and my heart exploded when she said it back.
