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...

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

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...

take 5 | muncie, indiana photgraphy

I’m struggling with posting these images for the sheer fact that I’m behind on posting client images. But honestly, I’ve been in an emotional slump lately. For awhile. Just layin’ it out there. Could be the lack of sun, the weeks of rain and cold, the lack of sleep … or all of the above....

love x 4 | muncie, indiana child photographer

Please ignore the fact that there are fall leaves in this photo. Just focus on the fact that her shirt says LOVE x 4. It is February 1st after-all. I just overheard Tommy asking Mark, “Why do people celebrate Valentine’s Day? It’s so gooshy. Who likes to be gooshy?” Mark replied, “I do sometimes.” Tommy...

better late … | muncie, indiana child photographer

I’ve been making my way through my personal photos trying to get organized to blog my life. I kind of fell off the face of the blogging planet in the fall and am hoping to catch up before next fall. We’ll see. In the meantime, I couldn’t resist sharing this photo. It reminds me of...

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...
