| Jensen’s 1st Birthday Invitation

~ ssrmdesignsphotography ~ Leave a comment

The classic John Deere vs. Case rivalry is strong in this sweet family!  Jensen has been in studio for his milestone sessions this past year and in July he will make his last visit for his 1 Year Session!  Time has just flown and it’s been so sweet to watch him grow and to get to know his family!  What’s more fun than a tractor themed birthday party?!  Love how this watercolor design came together and the final print was amazing!  Happy 1st Birthday Jensen!

Happy 50th Anniversary to this fantastic couple!  I got to capture something a little different for a change last weekend, not a wedding or family session, but an anniversary party!  It was fun to walk around and capture the events of the evening, mingle, and share stories with everyone.  It just so happens that Norbert & Marie are not only neighbors and friends, but family as well!  From cake and great food, to tractors and polka, it was a great day!  Something that many don’t know about my family is there have been and are some amazing polka bands in it!  I grew up attending polka and square dances, and listening to Norbert’s band, Happy Times Polka, practice on warm summer nights from down the road!  Polka is so much a part of our family that we had Happy Times Polka join our DeeJay at our wedding to share some sets!  Happy Anniversary Norbert & Marie and cheers to many more!

Lylah can brighten any day with her adorable smile and hilarious personality!  I was so excited to be able to capture her this Christmas and help her and her mom and dad make a wonderful announcement!  Lylah is very excited to be a big sister this next year and was ready to pose and smile no matter what we threw her way!  Her spunk gave us side splitting giggles and left our cheeks sore from smiling!  Congrats to the Gerdeman Family, especially big sister Lylah!

It has been wonderful getting to know this adorable little family!  Their little man was in for his three month milestone session a few weeks ago and what a ham!  I was thrilled when they wanted to create a card from one of the images from the session, such a special way to wish their family and friends a wonderful Holiday Season!  We created a unique custom layout just for them, right down to the snowflakes!  Just look at Jensen’s smile!  Merry Christmas Hamman Family!

We had snow flakes last Sunday!  It was chilly, damp, and rainy, and then there were large flakes!  The Fry Family braved the cold temps, bundled to stay warm, and then unbundled quick for a great result!  Three gorgeous granddaughters and a handsome grandson made this session so fun!  The girls were full of smiles and even held hands!  Thomas was a trooper in the cold and gave us some great grins!  Thank you Fry Family for a fun afternoon!

As fall sports seasons are winding down, it frees up time for some of my late fall seniors!  I had a wonderful time with Brandon last Sunday morning in the chilly fall weather as we walked our small hometown and found the last of the fall colors!  He had some great ideas, so we put our heads together for some great shots; trying to choose just a few for sneak peeks was no easy task!  Brandon is just coming off a fantastic golf season where he and his team mates headed down to state for a back to back appearance and he was named to the NWOAL All League First Team and Golfer of the Year!  He will soon be kicking off his senior baseball season and I’m so excited to capture some more senior moments for him this spring!  Congrats Brandon!

Seniors are one of my favorites!  I’ve known Ana for a long time and this year she decided she wanted to do senior photos in all four seasons!  So far we have done summer and fall, and should the weather cooperate, we will head out when the snow falls!  We finished up summer ones in August by heading out to a local waterfall and back to the farm and then this last Saturday evening we spent some time out in the cool Ohio fall weather with my Grandpa’s Ford Tractor!  Ana is a senior at Archbold High School and also a student at Four County Career Center in the Cosmetology program; she has big plans for this next year with finishing school and starting college in the fall of 2018!  Look for more sneaks in the winter of this gorgeous senior!  Congrats Ana!

Brok has grown so much since last years pictures!  Such a handsome little man, full of energy, life, and ready for anything!  He had lots of great ideas for his session; where we should go, how he should stand, and when he was ready for a new spot!  Brok looked adorable against the beautiful fall colors and was full of zombie stories as we walked along!  He was definitely ready for Halloween!  Sessions with Brok are always full of fun and I learn something new every time!  Happy Halloween!

Fall colors are still changing and beautiful here in late October!  I spent my Sunday afternoon yesterday with this fun & loving family!  We headed out to a gorgeous spot with lots of colors still on the trees, a great stone building, and crisp cool fall air!  The Burtch family is another one of my yearly sessions and I always look forward to my conversations with each family member as we find just the perfect spot for each!  This year we did a full family and then broke down into mini sessions for each of the kids and what a blast each of their sessions was!  Stay tuned for sneaks from Graicen, Trey, & Brok’s sessions!  Thank you Burtch Family for a wonderful day yesterday!

This family, I love them!  I looked forward to seeing this crew each and every year!  It is so fun to look back at just how much these three have changed since last year.  This year we ventured out to the gorgeous town of Grand Rapids on a warm Sunday afternoon!  We strolled around enjoying the fall colors as we looked for just the right spot for each kiddo, talking about dinner the night before, staying dry and not jumping into the water, and the yummy smells coming from each shop and restaurant we passed!  Before we knew it the sun was starting to lower in the west and our tummies were rumbling!  Thank you Grooms Family for a wonderful Sunday!!!
