I had the privilege of doing Kali’s maternity pictures one year ago! She was very beautiful pregnant, and now that sweet baby is so big and walking! Little Ryker is such a happy baby, and he is really easy to hang with! It was pretty chilly for this session, and he was such a tough little guy. The Ball family just adores this precious baby so much!
The three older kids were awesome too! It was fun watching how they all fussed over Ryker, and how they wanted to be the one to hold him. They all love him so much! And he loves his older siblings! It is really cute to see pictures of them playing with Ryker on social media. I know they adore him.
Jon and Kali are really great parents; they make a great team. It is cool for me to watch them encourage and push their kids to do their very best. They have done an amazing job of balancing kids’ activities, school, and the back-and-forth to Reno for Riley and Shamus.
I always love it when I can steal mom and dad away and take pictures of just them. These pictures tend to be really meaningful when daily life is all about meeting the needs of kids and working. When time between husband and wife is so rare because life is crazy busy, these couple pictures are sweet to remember the way they feel about each other.
Dear Ball Family,
Thank you so much for picking this amazing location. The cows, tractor, and fields were really fun! Thank you for braving the cold for these pictures, and for remaining upbeat through chattering teeth. You guys were so patient with me, and I’m so grateful to know you! You have a beautiful family. Thank you for trusting me to take these photos (and for your sweet sister Torrie for setting this up!!! Insert lots of heart emojis here, haha!)! Hopefully, I will have this privilege again someday!
