I met the Frerich’s family at their Elk River home during a weekend where I was definitely feeling the stress of the holiday season but the most wonderful thing happened the minute I walked through their door; at the same moment DeDe greeted me with a huge smile, a gorgeous puppy came bounding up to me with exactly the energy I had been lacking and I felt all of the ickyness and tension melt away in a puddle at their doorstep.
There is just something about the Frerichs family and the warm and inviting atmosphere they have created in their home that made me want to stay all day (and if I didn’t have a commitment, I probably would have). DeDe and Billy are fantastic parents and love their boys with such passion; it’s so beautiful to witness.
Seriously the sweetest 2 year old on the planet; Jack is a cutie.
And Noah, those CHEEKS.












I leave you with the cuuuuutest set of 6-month old portraits ever taken. Frerichs Family – you guys are awesome; I miss you already.

i’m yours,
