I cannot believe Viola is turning eleven! We celebrated this milestone with some early birthday photos at the farm, and it was the sweetest way to honor her birthday. The Clemmons family has been in front of my camera since 2014 – we’re talking more sessions together than I can even count at this point! And every time just keeps getting sweeter.

This session was such a joy. Viola is growing into such a kind, fun, and beautiful girl. It’s so special to pause and document this season for her and her family. We laughed, played, and soaked up the beauty of the farm while capturing photos that will forever hold this chapter in their story.

One of the greatest joys of my work is being the go-to photographer for so many amazing families like the Clemmons. When clients return year after year, it’s not only an honor to update their photos – it’s truly a gift to watch their families grow, hear about what their kiddos are up to, and walk alongside them through the seasons of life. That’s what makes this work so meaningful.

I loved this time with the Clemmons family and celebrating sweet Viola’s birthday. Sessions like this remind me exactly why I do what I do!
