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....

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...

besties | yorktown, indiana family photographer

You are about to be introduced to one of my very best friends. I’ve known her since college. She was in my wedding. I was in her wedding. Sometimes I’d play the guitar and she’d sing. We haven’t done that in awhile. Our two oldest boys have been hanging out consistently since they were one....

these are a few of my favorite things | muncie, indiana family photographer

Way back in October, I had myself a good ol’ time with some college friends and their sugar sweet kiddos. Because I was all booked up when Shelly tried to schedule a fall session in 2009, she booked her session for October back waaaay back in the beginning of 2010. I love that because it...

it’s contagious | pendleton, indiana family photographer

Another college friend. Another beautiful family. Another reason I feel so honored and trusted to share in her life through my lens … not just once, but twice. Theresa is expecting her 6th sweet child in 2011. And correct me if I’m wrong Theresa, but I thought I remembered you saying you’re expecting a boy!...

my first resolution | yorktown, indiana family photographer

I’m not big into New Year’s resolutions, but today I’ve decided to make one. My New Year’s resolution for 2011: blog at least one session from 2010 on the last day of 2010. This means my first new year’s resolution for 2011 is about to get checked off the to-do list! I’m off to a...

a little something | muncie, indiana photography

I have a lot of fun fall sessions to share. I still have one more left for the 2010 season and then hopefully I’ll be able to catch up and blog them all. Honestly, I’ve spent the fall in what’s felt like an eternal sinus infection. This is the first week in 5 or 6...

connections | muncie, indiana family photographer

I first met Susan at an auction for the Burris Lab School back in 2007. I donated a session, she bid on it, and the rest is history. I met the rest of her family for the actual session in the fall of 2008. And thankfully, two falls later, they all came back to capture...

the terrific threes | noblesville, indiana child and family photographer

Oh, this age! This age right on the verge of complete independence. There’s so much sass involved. So much individuality. Just so much. And I love it! Well, I’ll be honest, when Tommy and Lou were this age, I didn’t *always* love it, but there is something definitely cute about all that budding independence that...

magic | muncie, indiana photography

For the last year I’ve been meaning to travel around to my client’s homes and take photos of the way they decided to display their photos from their session. It always amazes me how magical the photos appear once they are actually up on the walls. It’s like the photographs in the Harry Potter books...

the perfect home | muncie, indiana family and baby photographer

Turns out some sessions just take longer to get to bloggin’ about. Sorry Baby Lincoln! It’s definitely not for a lack of cuteness that’s for sure! In case you were wondering where Lincoln’s first home was, it was here: The most perfectly rounded, baby bump belly ever! It must have been so comfy! Then he...
