sweet, sweet baby | elkhart, in newborn photographer

My heart is full when I look at this sweet new party of three. Don't they look great together? This is technically the second time that I've photographed this beautiful baby boy. But this is the first time you get to see his sweet face. We did maternity photos earlier this summer. I am in love with his chubby cheeks and pouty mouth! How sweet it is to be in the presence of such a new life. I LOVE my job!

can you feel the love | granger, in family photographer

Becky and I have been on the Design Team at Pages in Time (our local scrapbooking store) for years now. She's a great gal and I'm happy to call her friend. Because we scrapbook, I've seen the lives of these 4 played out on paper. Last night, I got to see it in person.

There is a lot of love here. And a lot of laughter...a whole lot of laughter. Thank you, Becky, for giving me the honor of capturing your beautiful family. You guys were perfect! I had a hard time choosing what to share here...so many good ones!

For some reason, these pictures remind me of Wall-E. See that little plant up in the wall?

beautiful and bright | south bend family photographer


This family is full of gorgeous children. Soon after I walked in the smallest one asked, "Can I sit on your lap?" And I was smitten. Beautiful, bright kids. It's always fun to spend time with my clients, and especially when they are old friends. Thanks family! It was great to spend a bit of my afternoon in your neck of the woods.

A+ | granger, in family photographer

Wondering what to wear for your family photo shoot? Take a cue from this sharp dressed family. These guys get an A+ in that subject. Perfectly coordinated. A little fun and current. I had a fabulous time walking around campus with this gorgeous family. These kids, I tell ya, are a dream to work with. So well fun and well behaved with great personalities. The little guy about did me in when I got a thank you hug at the end! Is it too early to talk marriage? I've got 2 super cute little ladies at home...who will be looking for a good husband. In 25 years! :)

ten | elkhart baby photographer

I love spending time with my newborn clients. How special it is to document their very first days. You can feel the "something special" in the air when you walk into these homes. New life is just so amazing!

I had a great time with these guys yesterday. I loved hearing all about the family that surrounds this little one. The romantic proposal in New York's Central Park. The special name that was given to this child. I love the stories. And I love the telling stories through my photographs.


He was 10 days old when I photographed him and his initials are T.E.N. Pretty cool, huh?!

penn high school senior

After a minor parking glitch...I wasn't going to let my senior and her mom get a parking ticket from that eagle-eyed parking monitor...we were off for a gorgeous walk across campus. Maddi's beautiful looks are not all that she has going for her. She's got the world at her fingertips and I know that she will go far! I loved the outfits that she picked out. I loved her easy-going attitude. I loved chatting with Mom about family and kids (and how fast they grow up!). And I love the images that we came away with!

Say hi to Big Brother and Baby Sis. We met up yesterday to document Baby Sis's 3 month Baby Step. I was lucky enough to get a tour of the beautiful natural playground in the backyard. The trails through the woods are a little (and big) boy's dream! They have gorgeous eyes, these 2. Thanks, guys!

I am so excited for Ashley and Kevin. What an exciting time in their lives! We met up over the weekend to take Baby's 1st pictures...sort of. This baby girl will be the first grandchild on both sides, so you can just imagine how much love is waiting for her. Stay tuned...you'll be getting to see this sweet baby face soon!

sunshine girl | goshen child photographer

What a privilege it is to spend time with these amazing families. To be welcomed in. To spend a few moments with them and their little ones. I am feeling blessed by you...my clients.

This sweet, sunshine girl was a breathe of fresh air. You can see...her smile just lights up the world. I can just picture her quick little feet dashing here and there. What a doll!

wonder | goshen baby photographer


This darling baby girl just made my day! She is a 100 % sweet and adorable and everything good. She turned one this summer and it's absolutely one of my favorite ages. She reminds me of my girls at this age. The soft whispy curls. The innocent eyes. The lovable chubby fingers and toes. The cheeks. I could go on and on...What a doll!!

Thank you so much for allowing me to follow you around this morning. It was a pleasure!

we are family | mishawaka family photographer

This has got to be one of my very favorite cousins image. I love it! It may have something to do with the fact that it includes my three adorable nieces. This is my sister's family and her inlaws.
Our families meet up several times during the year...there's usually some birthday cake and presents involved which always makes for a good time! It was good to see you all again last night. Best wishes to Trenton as he heads off to college.

blue | wakarusa family and baby photographer

Say hello to these baby blues. We met up yesterday morning for his 6 month Baby Step. So glad that we caught this handsome smile early on. This young fella has a way of making me feel like I'm walking around with a spaghetti in my hair or something. He looks at me like I'm a bit on the crazy side...which may or may not be true?? I always love to spend time with these precious little ones. Check out the rest of his family! I love the coordinated look they came with. Thanks, guys. See you in 3 short months!

smart cookie |south bend child photographer

Do any of you recognize this sweet face? Think Christmas pictures last year. When Mom contacted me for pictures to celebrate her new 4 year old, I was thrilled. This morning was another great session. This time we walked around the park and made all sorts of discoveries. This gal is one smart cookie and it was so fun to spend the morning with her. I don't know how many kids would have had the patience for pictures with that fun playground waiting in the background. She did terrific!

it's in the eyes {south bend baby and child photographer}

It's all in the eyes for these 3 siblings. The camera loves them! You've seen these cuties before. I was so excited when Mom contacted me for another session. These boys are a hoot and baby sis kept crawling up to me. I just wanted to put the camera down and play for a bit. So...I did!

Wait until you see the last image of big brother! Sign him up for America's Next Top Model! Well, don't do that...but he's sure got the look down. Don't let him fool you, though...he's a crack-up!
