Many of you know that Jade and I named our baby boy Ari after a character from a HBO show, Entourage. In fact, I loved the name Ari so much that I created a e-mail account for our imaginary future baby back in 2009. (It's arioberg@gmail.com, if you are wondering) So when I met Ellen and her baby girl Sloan at Ari's ECFE class, it was like magic! We were destined to be friends. Ellen and I were instantly drawn to each other and it's been so fun growing our friendship outside of baby classes.

This sweet session was planned for little Miss Sydney as she turned ONE in September! To celebrate, Sydney got to have endless amount of yogurt drops and we took a ride around the neighborhood in their Gator. (Y'all we live in the country!) We are so lucky that we have a barnyard, grassy field, woodsy trail, and soybean field as our backdrop/front yard. I hope this sweet family put a smile on your face and made you want to go outside in this beautiful fall weather we've got in Minnesota!

I had so much fun hanging out with my dear neighbors during this joy-filed lifestyle session. Sara, Greg and their 3 beautiful children live in the same neighborhood as us (5 houses down to be exact!) and we are blessed to have this gorgeous golden soybean field right in front of our houses. Being always on the go with 3 children’s sports practices (dance, baseball, football, you name it, they play it!), they decided to stay around the neighborhood for our session and it was magic! We started in their backyard with a beautiful swing Greg built then went for a walk to check out the field.
