slam dunk it | muncie, indiana photography

Hope you’re feelin’ the love today! I’m getting a lot of use out of these photos! Just add some hearts and BAM – Christmas is now Valentine’s Day. I loved this one so much. It says, “I can’t believe my mom stamped hearts all over my photo!” But he nixed it. And went for the...

4 days young | bloomington, indiana newborn photographer

My friend Joanne has the best smile in the world, gives some of the best “you-know-you’re-loved” hugs ever and always, always, always sends encouragement and love my way. She’s like a little angel that I’d love to keep with me all the times. Thankfully I can give back to her in the way of photographs....

happy birthday tommy ro!

This time, 9 years ago, I was in my living room in my yellow house on Marsh St with a group of friends who I still know and love to this day. We were watching The Fellowship of the Ring to prep for the newest installment of the LOTR trilogy, The Two Towers, that was...

daylight | denver, colorado photography

As mentioned previously here and here, I took a trip to Colorado in November. I had hoped to take the family photos of my long time friends, Jeff and Steph the afternoon that I flew into Denver. However, the sinus infection that had begun in Indiana exploded in Denver. Thankfully I had a round of...

happily ever after | muncie, indiana family photographer

It’s been since August since I posted a whole session story, and before that it was March. This has left me with A) An unsettled feeling (my blog is missing huge chunks of sweetness + light) B) An overwhelmed feeling (WHERE do I even begin? HOW do I even begin? Do I even remember how...

LIFE | muncie, indiana photography

Who doesn’t remember the great Tara Whitney 9 – 20x20s with the IKEA clip frames? And then who else bemoaned the fact that IKEA no longer sold those beautiful frames? When I finally had an excuse to frame 20×20 prints for Muncie’s October ArtsWalk, I desperately began searching for large format clip frames and at...

wuh = love | muncie, indiana child photographer

Best phrase I can hear at a photo session? “I love you.” Claire, age 4 and  “I wuh you. hello.” Maebel, age 1 And I promise they were talking to me and not my lens (which also received a lot of affection). I love you too sweet sisters.   | help share the love :...

smile maker | muncie, indiana child photographer

hank | muncie, indiana newborn photography

I don’t think I’ve ever had a newborn fall so perfectly into position. It might have to do with the fact that he was a mere 5 days old when this happened. Or the fact that he has 10 lbs to cozy up in and lots of length to curl around in. Either way, he’s...

It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged more than just one photograph from a session. This precious little girl is about to change that. Meet Lily. You would never know by these photos that at this very moment she is fighting for her life. She is hooked up to wires and tubes and a...

flashback | muncie, indiana photography

Since I’ve decided to blog what I want, when I want I decided to shuffle through my iphotos today and randomly came across these:  These were taken on May 22, 2009. Not a whole lot has changed with this little guy (except for the unfortunate loss of some of that sweet baby chub). His personality...
