senior session

I always refuse senior sessions b/c i feel like i've got my hands full with photographing kiddos and their families. However, I made an exception for this one. Here's my go at it.

and we found these awesome red barns on our drive back so we just had to stop.

this is my fav!

Fall photo sessions

I know it seems funny talking about Christmas mid year, but just wanted to remind everyone still wanting a session this fall to contact me asap. Fall is my busiest time of year and right now all my weekend slots in October are filled except Oct 27. I will have Tuesdays available starting in September. Also, for September... I have Sept 22, and 29th. The cut-off date for sessions (that will need to be as Christmas gifts/cards) is November 24th. Again, the session fee is due 7 days after booking in the session to keep it reserved. Thanks!!

Oh, and of course I must leave you with a photo for the post. This is from a recent session and I just love it! I love the sun beaming down on the water and the warm peaceful colors. It takes me back to my childhood days of walking/playing in the creek!

two words...

Baby Gap!

and there are just SO many more that I must stop here. I need to save lots of surprises for mom and dad!

how can she get...

any cuter? I have had 4 sessions with this client (including their maternity) and I keep getting stunned by how beautiful their daughter is each time.

open session!

I know this is short notice but wanted to let you know that I have a session open for this Tues., July 24th at 6:00. If you are interested in this slot please contact me asap by the CONTACT tab on my website. Thanks!

some recent stuff of my own

we were in DT Carmel one night for dinner and got a few shots of the kiddos.

my mr. handsome

maddie sporting her matilda jane attire
and this is my friend ali who called me right before we left to see if i could get a shot of her and her hubby all dressed up for their big event. I of course had to get a quarky one!

new spot

This was the first time I shot at the Village of West Clay in Carmel. What a neat place to do phtoographs...I will defintely have to start suggesting some sessions there in the future...especially if they are this cute!

i love her foot pointing down here... is so fits her dainty personality. What a cutie!
this dress was her momma's when she was a year old...how sentimental!

only 1 more week...

or so and this little guy will be here!

It was fun to shoot a maternity session again! There are so many cool ones from this session but I am only showing a couple modest ones :-)

on a mission

I was given the opportunity to photograph this amazing family while they were staying with us last week. Meet the Pierre's. They live in Haiti and are visiting the states this summer while raising support for their mission (see the link to Nehemiah Vision Ministries on my sidebar). Our family has gained a strong connection with them and I can say that I have just fallen in love with each one of them. like father like son...
and can you believe Nathan is only 12 years old?little Lemuel going on 4 days without a solid nap...

Esperandieu and his wife Dianne

this one of Charissa and her mom just melts me....

and i've always gotta have a footsies shot!

If you'd like to learn how you can help support Nehemiah Vision Ministries please visit their website (in the sidebar) or visit us tomorrow (Friday July 13th) at New Hope Christian Church in Whitestown, IN (5780 S 650 E) for a benefit concert with the talented John David Webster. It would be a great time with your family! Tickets are $10 for adults and free for children ages 12 and younger. If you'd like a sneak peek tune in tomorrow at 7:45am to the Fox 59 Morning Show and watch John David Webster perform and hear Esperandieu Pierre speak about the concert and cause. Would love to see you there!

the fun of boys

we had a good old time with this session... lots of family fun. I won't show all the fun but here's just one as a family.... and then a few close ups of the adorable boys.

a blending of families

My friend is engaged and will now be part of a big family of 6! Here are some shots of the happy and soon to be family.



and normally I prefer b/w because it's so classy but sometimes I just can't resist the way color looks. Here is one for example... {click to enlarge}

little sis's turn

Last time I did the client's session it was all for the oldest sister. This time it was mostly focused on the princess of the house. Little "M".
