MEET Kristen

I first met the Mertz family just a few days into the New Year when they welcomed their third daughter. I was so excited when they contacted me this Fall for a family session so I could see how much the girls have grown and catch up with the two of them and hear about their travels to Iceland.

I am thankful for the Mertz families patience during the unpredictable rainy Fall weather we had this year. We ended up getting a perfect Fall evening at last for their session.

Enjoy all the cuteness from this family of five!
