Is there anything sweeter than a smiling baby? When Sadie arrived with her parents at their family photoshoot, I was immediately smitten. Reaching out her arms to me as I said “hello,” she allowed me to hold her for several moments. I’m a boy mom of two and while I LOVE it, it’s always really […]

I geeked out at Dorcas & Eli’s family session at their historical farmhouse. She had sent me the address but you know how it is when you first arrive at a new place. I wanted to make sure I was at the right place. The address led me to this big brick historical farmhouse. A […]

Iva & Leon’s family session at their family farm was a fun first for me. I tend to shoot in nature locations a lot but I’m loving this new aspect of shooting at a family’s home. It’s not about perfection. It’s about capturing the intimate reflection of who you are as a family. I shot […]

It’s been an interesting week. I was sick, which is always fun, (note the sarcasm.) Aaron is training to join the local volunteer fire department. It’s something we’ve talked about before but last year the training took place right when we were expecting Julian’s birth. Let’s just say I have a whole new appreciation for […]

We started off Joanna and David’s session at Boulder Hill with a five year anniversary portion. Joanna wore her wedding dress and David, his suit. Almost five years ago, several weeks after Aaron and I started dating, I got a phone call. David and Joanna were getting married in a few hours and they wanted […]

A crisp fall breeze stirred the air. The scent of damp leaves hung softly in its wake. Brilliant hues of scarlet, orange, and gold mixed with the soft earthy tones of the changing season. We had initially scheduled Sarah and Roman’s family session three days earlier. The past week had been dreary and wet but […]

The gentle spring sunset glowed behind them as he held her in his arms. They had put in the hard work of getting their family ready for this special time. She made sure everyone had clean clothes and knew where their shoes were. He was there making sure everything ran smoothly and guiding the little […]

My sister is Zander’s nanny which makes me his “almost aunt.” Doris met Richard and Emma Lou a little before their son, Zander was born. They were looking for a nanny, as well as a part time business assistant and it was a match made in heaven. Through that relationship, I’ve gone to visit Doris […]

Joanna absolutely glowed. But it wasn’t without previous hard work and overcoming challenges. She’s faced some health challenges I can only imagine going through. There’s been some really hard days, dark days even. While I know that her journey’s not over and that choosing joy is a daily choice, I loved seeing her vibrant and […]

The Indiana fall air was chilly and a fine mist fell. A crisp breeze rustled the brilliant autumn leaves around their home. But their love for each other lit the camera. They had been married for almost two and a half years. A year ago, a little boy with big blue eyes and blond hair […]
