It’s always a pleasure to see and photograph clients again and again…getting to know the individuals, families and following their children is a real bonus with my job. It was a couple of years ago when I first met this family when their son, Aaron, was graduating from high school and on this chilly Sunday morning, we met up again, for their other son, Alex, as he’s graduating in just a couple of months from White River High School. It’s a little easier when you are already familiar with the family and it was great to reconnect with the Mininger’s on this day…and I was excited to see how Alex was doing with his quad racing…which was a huge part of his life when I first met them…and it is as much or more today! Alex and his dad are woven into the life of races and the traveling that comes with that, although quick trips, allows them to see sights along the way and to meet many people with the trips they make for Alex’s races. A great attitude and spirit and willing to do and try just about anything…would be a good way to describe Alex. He has a great relationship with his parents and brother and yet, it was obvious they all have a lot of fun together and like to laugh. We grabbed some family photos on this day as well and I must say that poor dad, Dale, tends to get the brunt of the jokes from his sons…it might be because they are both taller…but you can see how much both Aaron and Alex respect him…a wonderful thing to witness. And, then there’s mom, Mischele…who definitely is a strong woman and manages to “wrangle” in her men with ease and said that in getting ready for their session, she was the first one ready this day….obviously, she’s well organized! I respect and admire her…and how she handles all the testosterone in her home…so calmly!!
Mom, with her “little” boys, who aren’t so little anymore…amazing how that happens!!
A super family, with the newest addition, a four legged child, who is a perfect addition to the family!
Michelle with her “baby!” 
Ahhh, and this is what Alex lives for right now and from what I hear…he’s good…REALLY good!!!
It was wonderful to see the Mininger’s again and catch up…I wish the very best for Alex and know that with as much passion has he has for racing, it will carry over into his future, with whatever he choose for his next chapter in live
Thank you, Mischele and Dale…great to see you and the boys and I look forward to the next time we meet again!
Ahh, the raindrops are beginning to appear, but Zamyia didn’t hesitate at all with the rain and we had a great time in the trees!!
Mom (Viveca) and Zamyia are two gorgeous woman who have a wonderful relationship and I could see how proud mom is of her amazing daughter!!
You can see the raindrops…they certainly didn’t hinder us, maybe spurred us on to more!
Didn’t I say B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L!!!!!!!!
Plenty of rain…the umbrella didn’t really keep the rain off, but was a fun prop
And, then, at the very end…a break in the rain and a chance to step “out” and I was so happy…can you see how incredibly beautiful and confident Zamyia is here!!
Can you see the sparkle in Abigail’s eyes?!? She is full of energy and lots of creative ideas…I can only imagine what the future holds for her!
How can one resist the bare buns of babies…and this photo with Logan and his “new friend” is just too darn cute…of course, he’ll not be happy with this when he’s 16, but I’m thinking his mom and dad will love it!!
She’s very proud to be THREE…and happy to show off her new shirt!
Another one that Logan may not like later on, but I love it…and his bright smile is priceless!
A special photo with her momma…who as you can see she closely resembles…such a special relationship between these two!!
And baby Logan LOVES playing with his momma…as the smile on his face shows!!
