These adorable twin brothers were an absolute joy to photograph!  They were sweet and good-natured and did I mention adorable?

What a beautiful family!  It was a delight to spend some time with them and capture the two little sweethearts at this fun baby stage!

Trees & Soccer…A Boy’s Life!

Sunday, May 13, 2012 | Children/Teenagers No Comments by Sarah Yankowiak

Most family or lifestyle photographers will tell you what a joy it is to have the opportunity to photograph children as they grow.  This is absolutely one of the blessings of my job!  This little man is one of those kiddos that I love to photograph time and again.

He had plenty of trees that he wanted to climb for photographs–it is so sweet when kids give me their ideas for a shoot!   We started in a beautiful flowering tree!

And then on to the others!

And my favorite!

Since my daughter was playing in the same soccer league at the same time, I also had a chance to snap a couple of actions shots.

Jessica + Adam

Tuesday, May 1, 2012 | Weddings/Special events 2 Comments by Sarah Yankowiak

Jessica and Adam said “I do” at the charming Little Mountain Chapel in Monticello last weekend.  It was fun to capture their day and it was especially fun for me to be “behind the lens” for this day because Jessica is my niece!  She was my very first niece….I wasn’t very old when she was born.  She has always been a beautiful girl and was a beautiful bride.

She spent months and months working on details of the wedding and I enjoyed the fun pieces she used.

What is an April wedding without a few showers?

The adorable couple:

Congratulations, Adam and Jessica, and best wishes and many prayers for a lifetime of happiness together!  (Love, Aunt Sarah!)

Seven Months in Color!

Monday, April 9, 2012 | Babies 2 Comments by Sarah Yankowiak

We decided to enjoy some bold color for Betsy’s seven month pictures.  She was in a great mood and made her “shoot” so much fun!

Yep, we’ve got a thumb-sucker!

And a couple with the big sisters in their Easter dresses.

The Sweetest Thing

Tuesday, March 6, 2012 | Babies, Families No Comments by Sarah Yankowiak

This sweet little two-month-old guy was such a delight to photograph!  He was so easy-going, content, and happy.  He has no idea how blessed he is to have such kind, adoring parents.  It was such a fun session.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to meet your precious little boy!

And Then There Were Three

Saturday, November 26, 2011 | Babies, Families No Comments by Sarah Yankowiak

The last time I photographed this family, there were two little boys.  Now a baby sister has joined the ranks, and boy, is she ADORABLE!

We took the opportunity to get a family picture–the boys loved being silly and so we went with it!

More of the guys:

Love this one….(tag this one: ways to keep children busy while siblings are getting their pictures taken)

Some of mama and baby girl:

Some more of my favorites:

And a couple more of this precious little girl….

One of the blessings of doing family photography in a small town is the opportunity to see families I’ve photographed and watch their children grow.  I can’t wait to watch this little beauty as she changes and that gorgeous strawberry blonde hair comes in!

Adam and Abby shared a “first look” that I was able to capture—the moment when they saw each other for the first time that day.  (I love her smiling eyes peeking over his shoulder!)

Have a photo shoot, right?!  I don’t remember the exact temperature of this October day, but I was so amazed at how long we kept these little ones smiling!  Aren’t they adorable?

When I am with these dear friends, it is so obvious to me how much they love each other and love to be together.  I am blessed to be able to photograph this family and “feel the love”!
