These annual sessions are something I look forward to a lot! We’ve started brainstorming together about how to incorporate fun into their sessions. One year we explored a tunnel and ended with a cookout. Another year we visited the Frontier Culture Museum and stumbled on an outdoor concert after our pictures. Last year we visited Monticello and this year we ended with a visit to a coffee shop!

The coffee shop finale was perfection! Twinkly lights, coffee beans freshly roasted on site, beautiful latte art …. I mean you really can’t go wrong with that!

And when I asked Darrel and Jo to lean in for a kiss they started laughing. The kids had just been saying they escaped the kissing pictures this year. Sorry not sorry, kids! You know you’re secretly so glad your mom and dad are wildly in love with each other!

Until next year, guys!
