Smiddy Family

I met the Smiddys at their family farm in Campbell County for some fun family photos. How about that alliteration! Amanda is an English teacher too, so I know she'll appreciate my nerdy English teacher humor :)

The session started out on an adventurous note. Slade dropped me off in a field and went back in the off-road utility vehicle to pick up Amanda and Carson. I was delighted when I saw the scenery. It's a photographer's dream!

I immediately started for this hill to check out the view from the top.

Until I was greeted by the running cows! Who knew cows ran? And they actually do moo! Yes, I took this picture as I was running away from them. I knew it would be a moment to remember :)

As soon as Slade and Amanda pulled in, I totally played it cool acting like it was totally natural to be fifteen feet away from these mooing beasts. Not sure if they were fooled or not :)

I have to say this adorable family was totally worth the cow scare.

I can't believe how much Carson has grown since last summer. Isn't he the cutest?

Now he is all boy - hanging out with cows...

Riding on the tractor...

Playing around the farm...

He is such a charmer.

He's definitely my favorite greeter at church.

Who wouldn't love to be welcomed by this sweet face on a Sunday morning?

Thank you Smiddy family for such a fun day!
