Smiths Creek Family Photographer | Deater Family

Since I’m on the topic of my family today, I thought I better share my sister Ashley’s family! They had the worst day for family photos last week-rain, heavy overcast skies, and a husband itching to go hunt…. I’d say we made it work 😉

Ashley chose my parents farm as the backdrop for her photos. All the leaves had hit the ground but thanks to my dad we had some interesting photographic opportunities. Round bales, giant logs waiting to be chopped up, cows in the background.  It’s an ever changing landscape & lucky for us you never know what you’ll find walking around the farm.

Colton is 3 now and I’m pretty sure Ashley fed him candy on the way over. He was more animated than I’ve ever seen him. I was cracking up at his antics the whole time. Camden who is now 16 months was not feeling the photos, he just learned to walk and that’s all he wanted to do. He is usually the ham so we had to come up with some unique solutions to get him to smile. The best was calling my twin girls over to sing and dance behind me. Instant grins all around. I might even hire them as assistants to come help me to more sessions!

Rob and Ashley have been married 4 years now & even though we think they would make a beautiful baby girl they say they’re content with their 2 boys. I’ll continue to bug her for a niece but I’m so happy she can find peace & contentment in her family of 4. I’m also hoping to bug her into building their house sooner than later because she is the sister that bought the 10 acres next to us and my only sister who will drink coffee. I get teary eyed just thinking of all the wonderful mornings we will get to eventually get to spend drinking coffee on each others porches. Are you getting my message Ashley? Hurry up!!

I hope you enjoyed this preview into the 2018 Deater Family session!
