I grew up on a farm in Faribault County, and so when another Wells farm girl reached out for some farm family photos, I was sold! Kayla connected with me when she was still pregnant with Baby Werner. He was about seven weeks old for these photos, and it was clear big sister Nora had already stepped proudly into big sister role. I’m always struck by newborn folds and appendages and yawns, but I was equally delighted by Nora’s independent farm girl spirit — even if it meant sidetracking any of my photographer plans!
The Werners have a beautiful farm near Hampton, so we spent golden hour gawking at the cows, newborn calves, and equally impressive fly catching operation. Nora led the way, only to be slowed down when we mounted her on the hay bales or dad’s shoulders. Kayla and Steve, you have such a lovely little grew — thanks for the invite to capture these first photos of all four of you!
