Back in August, Daniel and Brooke and the kids, Papa and Sweetie, and Jim and I and our kids went on a day trip to the Yarnell area. ??We thought we would maximize on Daniel and Brooke’s 2014 family session and sneak some play time in. ??As always, we had a fantastic time. ??We even had a celebrity site seeing event when we encountered Demi Moore in a nearby restaurant. ??I love my brother, sister, nieces and nephews to pieces and we really enjoyed our day with them.

Left to Right: ??Noah (almost age 12), Cozy (age 5), Quinn (age 3), Daniel, Braxtyn (age 8), Brooke, Graham (age 10)

The kids did such an awesome job for Aunt Sissy! ??I was super proud of the fabulous five. ??Aren’t my girls beauties?

And such handsome, amazing nephews I have. ??(Must brag. ??I am the Aunt.)


Miss Quinn spilled her drink in the car on the way up and when we stopped for potty break, mama was madly trying to wash the dress in the bathroom sink. ??I advised holding it out the window to drive (because what else were we going to do?) and low and behold…that worked perfectly.

I love mama/daughter shot. ??I ended up shooting a LOT of Quinn because she was ubiquitous on shoot day so I had to take advantage of it.

Our crew couldn’t wait to be let loose in the mud. ??Well everyone but my Troy boy. ??As you can see, it took a little convincing for him.

And yes, my man is still sporting his beard. ?? He is so dreamy. ??I am a lucky, lucky woman.
