Muncie’s Best Exhibit | Minnetrista

Full disclosure: Minnestrista does pay me to design, but they are not paying me extra for this endorsement :o) I’m not exaggerating when I say that if you have kiddos, this is the best thing going on in Muncie right now. And unfortunately it ends on the 12th. So if you haven’t been to Casey’s...

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 :...

contentment | muncie, indiana photography

The Caterpillar was the first to speak. ‘What size do you want to be?’ it asked. ‘Oh, I’m not particular as to size,’ Alice hastily replied; ‘only one doesn’t like changing so often, you know.’ ‘I don’t know,’ said the Caterpillar. Alice said nothing: she had never been so much contradicted in her life before,...

solitude | muncie, indiana photography

I wonder what she’s reading? I imagine The Tale of Despereaux as she probably sees her fair share of scampering mice around her little forest. “And now you have a small map of the princess’s heart (hatred, sorrow, kindness, empathy), the heart that she carried inside her as she went down the golden stairs …” [The...

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...

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...

ride | muncie, indiana photography

Turns out I have some catching up to do. Like big time. Not to worry. Life is bigger than a blog, right? Anywho, just wanted to let you know I’m still here enjoying this fall weather, some drops of rain here and there, and especially the splice of sunshine shooting through the clouds right now...

if you say it loud enough | muncie, indiana prom photographer

One word to describe my first prom photo session? supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Okay, that was pretty cheese, but I was going to say “fun” and that sounded real lame comparatively. Now that I’m typing this all out, it actually fits perfectly considering I outfitted Cheyenne with a modern Mary Poppins umbrella for our drizzly session. However, with...

love me some piggies | muncie, indiana baby and family photographer

Let me just say that I was not prepared for how fast on my feet I was going to have to be with my piggy-tailed friend Amaya. My once sleepy newborn friend was off and running from the moment the session started! Before I go on though,  I’d like to first give some props to...

33 down | it’s a brand new day | muncie, indiana photography

Another year into my 30s, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s a brand new day. It’s a brand new year. Anything can happen. Such as: My Murse graduating in a few short weeks. Tommy finishing up first grade. And a lot of unknowns and adventures. Today to celebrate 34 I began the morning with birthday...

Anyone out there remember my little motobaby? I am happy to report that the 24×36 canvas gallery wrap of this image was accepted into Minnetrista’s Annual Juried Artshow. I consistently miss the deadline for entering every year, and just made the deadline this year (I’m talking same day friends). This being my first competition …...

.it’s alright with me. | muncie, indiana baby photographer

Maybe it’s the type of day I’m having, but I just couldn’t stop staring at this photo. It was almost like he was reaching out to me, about to pat me on the shoulder and tell me, “I get you … and everything’s gonna be alright.” Thanks Aaron! You made my day! And yes, there...

.supernova. | pendleton, indiana baby and family photographer

To say that I left this session on a sunshine loving photo high would be an understatement. Because not only was it absolutely beautiful outside (i’m talking light seeping from every corner, seriously dripping from the sky) I also got to spend it with a super blue-eyed fun-loving 9-month old who kept me on my...
