We have known The Hertlein family for a long time! Our relationship started off with Kara helping me get healthy with her business as a health and fitness coach, and we have since become incredibly good friends. When they asked me to come to their home to photograph their family I was SO honoured. It means the world when people I love and respect ask us to document them, it truly is the best feeling. They are the type of people you want in your corner, and I’m so glad they’re in ours! They truly are the definition of Home Grown Love – The Hertlein Family.

It was SO special photographing the Hertlein Family on their property. How fun for them to look back on these photos in years, and remember the chickens and the kids running, and the light streaming through the trees. What a feeling to look at these photos and remember the love and the work and the laughs that were shared on this land.

We got a mixture of everyone playing and having fun, of everyone smiling and looking at the camera, as we always aim to do during our family sessions. When the kiddos were worn out and just over it, we captured Kara and Dustin together. Mom and dad should have photos together!

At the end of the session, Kara added on some branding photos for her to use online for her business. Social media has become SO huge for entrepreneurs, that we’ve had more and more clients ask to add on branding photos at the end of their sessions. We are always happy to do so! If you ever need anything during your session, please always ask. If its a particular pose, or a specific grouping of people, tell us! We will always, always try our best to make the shoot what YOU want.

Thank you so, so much for being such wonderful humans. I am honoured to know you all, beyond honoured that you are our friends.

So much love,
Shauna
