Taylor Family all together

This was the final part for the Belk family.  I love getting to know families when they book a two part session.  It’s just always so much fun and getting to know this entire family was a blast.  They are like a modern day Brady Bunch.  For the last part we got the entire family […]

Before the photoshoot I got a phone call from Jeremy telling me that he wanted to propose to Kira during the photoshoot.  So of course I was a total wreck because I was waiting on when he was going to pop the question.  He hid the ring in the barn so it wouldn’t be in […]
