Laura and Jeff - Family

Today was a beautiful fall day (probably one of the few we have left before my favorite season sets in). I met Laura and Jeff down at Happy Hollow Park.  Most of the leaves have fallen, but we found a few bright ones still on a little tree to add some color. Laura is 22 weeks prego - and never takes a bad photo. We had fun finding the best poses to show off her cute baby bump. You two are so cute (or should I say 3?, or 5 including the pups). I hope you enjoy the sneak peek. Thank you for the opportunity to capture such a special time in your life.

 I love Oliver (pup on the right) smiling.

Jeff and Beth (& their "kids")

It's always a new challenge for me when I get the chance to photograph people with their pets. I love a challenge, so this was great. Not just 1 puppy, but 2. My arm waving didn't quite work with little Mulligan (the basset hound). He's blind. And Cassie (the boxer) is as far from blind as you can get. She was interested in checking out everything that moved nearby. Maybe it was the fake meow's or barking that got their attention? At least it worked for the people. I was excited for the end result. Plus, you can't get a bad picture of Jeff and Beth. Beth, thank you for being one of my very best customers. I hope you like your sneak peek.

Newborn Mela

Oh my gosh! I forgot how tiny little baby newborns are and oh so cute! I had the honor today of visiting with Nathan, Monica, and Mela for Mela's first photo shoot. Mela is a little less than 1 week old. She was such a sweetie. Thank you so much Monica and Nathan, for inviting me into your home for such a precious time in your lives. You sure have a little angel. I these photos bring a smile to your face like they did mine.

Jill, Kyle, and Elizabeth

I met Jill, Kyle, and Elizabeth on campus today to do some photos for a Christmas card. It was the perfect overcast day all day...of course until our session time when it started to rain. Luckily, they are a fun family and still wanted to give it a shot. I think we came out with some great photos (but how could you not with subjects like them). Thank you, Jill, for taking a chance on someone you didn't know and braving the weather. I hope you like the sneak peek and will be in touch soon with your gallery link.

Roush Family

I was thrilled a couple of weeks ago to get the call from Julie. She requested to get together and do some family portraits as well as her son's senior shots. I knew her previously because she and her husband, Mike, trusted me to photograph their wedding. They gave me the opportunity to get a wedding under my belt and liked it enough to come back for more. :) Thanks again, Mike and Julie. I hope you like the photos. We sure hit the peak of color!

This is a sample of a custom designed card.

The 3 family kiddo shoot!

Hey Julie (and sisters)! Look, we did it! We actually got a couple of shots with most munchkins looking at the camera. (Plus a few fun candids of each family on the side.) You are a great group of moms/sisters with some super cute kids. Way to hold it together when everyone was running opposite directions. :) Too bad the moms at Walmart can't figure out how to do that. ha! I hope you like the sneak peek. Have a great week and thank you for trusting me with this challenge.

Angie and Family

It was a busy day today - 3 shoots in one day. But it couldn't have been better. I started with Senior portraits (below) and ended today with 2 totally different stages of families. Not to mention, I had the bonus of playing with Melia (my daughter) in the park after the shoots were done. Angie, thanks again for being so trusting and having me capture some shots of your great family. It was great to meet everyone and I see why you are such an awesome woman - you come from some good lines. I hope you like your sneak peek!

The Denham Family

This morning was a photographer's dream; a nice cool morning, with a good layer of clouds for some photos by the creek. Abbie wanted to get together to take some family photos at little Ryan's favorite place. This was so much fun and so great to see such a cute happy family. Thank you so much, Abbie and Reggie, for having me capture a moment in time with your sweet family.

Clawson Family

I love babies. I love kids. And I love parents who obviously love being parents. My photo shoot this morning was all of these things. Sweet Taylor is a little over 6 months and sitting up like a rock star. Nolan is 3.5 and such a sweet little guy and so good following requests. Amy and Matt have been friends of mine for a while, so I won't mention their ages, or I might get fired. ha! We had a good time exploring some different places on campus. Thank you, Amy and Matt for being so encouraging and having me capture your precious family. I hope you like the sneak peek as much as I do. Have a great weekend!

Adam and Sarah

What a fun day at the park and Purdue! I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to capture Adam and Sarah having fun and kindly posing every so often. We had a lot of fun. I have to say that these two children are some of the best-behaved and cutest kids I have had the opportunity to hang out with for an afternoon. Thank you so much, Tammy, for trusting me to capture your angels on "film" (memory card just doesn't have the same effect-ha). I hope you like the sneak peek. I couldn't help but use one of their photos as my new header for my web page.
