The last time I saw the whole Crump family was on a misty morning in November 2019 and there were five less people in the group photo! They almost doubled since then! I got to photograph Josh and Lincoln’s family when Lincoln was pregnant with Rockwell and then see them again when Rockwell was a newborn. At that time, they had talked about doing a spring session when everyone would be in Iowa and we got a date nailed down with plans to take photos in the gardens of her parents’ renovated historic home.

Alas, the weather this spring has delayed construction and, importantly, the landscaping so we arranged to meet at Bloomsbury Farm instead to use their tulip fields, a stunning idea. Tulips have a short bloomspan so getting the timing right, especially with people coming from out of state, was pure magic. Having the weather cooperate (partly cloudy, blue skies, no wind, comfortable temperature) made it perfect.
