Q: why don’t you shoot weddings?

A: Enter Exhibit A I attend the Rehearsal Dinner of my good friends Bob and Sarah in July 2010. Said rehearsal dinner just so happens to be at the IU football stadium in Bloomington. I have fun photographing the bride and groom during this event as well as my own family. I don’t get around...

griffin | muncie, indiana newborn photographer

It’s been a little while since I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to snuggle up to a fresh, cuddly newborn. Today, I have little Griffin to thank for that honor! I’m always honored and thankful when mom and dad trust me to hold their newest addition! Not to mention take over their home for a few...

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...

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...

no time like the present | bloomington, indiana photography

I’m a seriously all-over-the-place girl right now! One minute I’m designing an album, the next I’m Christmas shopping online, the next I’m making client Christmas cards, and the next I’m trying to make my own. And that’s just a few of the things I’ve scattered myself over. Tomorrow is my shoot for Vital Magazine. I’m...

rambles | pendleton, indiana child photographer

Sometimes when it’s past midnight, and I’ve been sitting in front of the computer all day (except for the games of hide-and-seek and Sorry I played mid-afternoon. Oh, and the wonderful dinner break I had with my derby girl). Yes, aside from all that, it turns out I’m at a loss for words. (Though by...

so thankful You’re You, Lou | muncie, indiana photography

For my Louie’s 5th birthday we had a party at the library with the wonderful librarian Ms. Liz reading to Louie and his friends for his own special storytime. You can read and see more about that over on the ro.fam blog if you like. Afterwards, Louie and some long-time friends had dinner and ice...

reputation | muncie, indiana LOVE photography

It’s always a huge complement when clients hire me more than once to document their lives. It’s an even bigger complement when you receive a note like this: As you know, my husband hates taking pics, so the less painful you can make it the better! He said you were his fave photog of our...

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...

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...

sticks + stones | noblesville, indiana child photographer

At this exact moment I have a kleenex sticking out of my nose holding back the fluid that has been draining since the moment I stepped out of the car into Falls Park today. I think I am holding a record for the most sneezes in one day. All this to say, rolling in the...
