just swimmingly

The setting was just beautiful. The family looked amazing. The kids were darling. And the rain held off until we were almost done. I'd say that we pulled it off just swimmingly. Thanks for a fun session, family. It was great to meet you all!

I am so excited to welcome one of our former Baby Steppers back to the blog. She's celebrating her very special 2nd birthday, which is sandwiched right between her parents' birth dates. How fun?! I can not get over what a perfect little face this sweetie has. She's just a doll. And those sweet pigtails? Forget about it.

It was a beautiful late summer night when we met up last week. We walked around the park and these little people were full of smiles and giggles. Thanks to the fun going on behind me, I'm sure. :) Thanks so much for a fun session! And I'm off to hit the publish button, I know momma's anxious to see these!

I'm so excited for these two to become parents. This baby is going to be welcomed into incredible families with loads of love surrounding him. I know I'm not alone when I say that I can't wait to meet this precious little soul. You just know he's going to be the cutest thing with these two for parents. Blessings to you. Happy Waiting!

happy birthday to you | middlebury photographer

Happy Birthday to our newest Baby Step graduate. It's been such a fun (fast) year! I've enjoyed each and every visit with you and count it a privilege to watch you grow through my lens. I am just pleased as a peach to share this photo of you and your adoring big sister. Smiling, cuddling and LOOKING IN THE SAME DIRECTION! :) I'm teasing with the all caps, but seriously what a treasure from your first year. Blessings to you, family, as you continue on this fun journey!

While visiting friends up on the lake, we sneeked down to the beach for a few pictures. Little Mister gave us a run for our money, didn't he Brenda?! Being that cute, he's easily forgiven, though. :)

Won't you please help me wish this delightful young man a Happy 4th Birthday?! Oh, did we have a good morning! He loved all my jokes (at least he humored me and giggled at the right time). Momma had the perfect outfits chosen. The weather was picture perfect. Sigh...I love my job!

keep it clickin' | mishawaka child photographer

I sent my little girls off to their first day of 3rd grade this morning. It's left me wondering where the time has gone. I'm blown away with how fast time passes by these days. I'm so proud of the little girls they are becoming. My heart is so full. Keep that shutter clicking in your mind and in your camera! Happy Back to School!

soon | south bend maternity photographers

Just got home from a fun week at family church camp. I'm so looking forward to a clean shower and a comfy bed but before I get to that I want to share a quick sneak peek offthis gorgeous momma and her family maternity session taken before I left. The little cutie in the family picture above was one of our early Baby Steppers and she'll soon be a Big Sister. And the cherry on top of this sundae? You'll get to watch the new baby grow along with Baby Steps!!

two by two | elkhart child and family photographer

I was so excited to visit with these two, again. We met last fall for the first time and I was anxious to see how they'd grown. These two are just precious. They are a bit timid and shy...especially to crazy photographer ladies who make weird noises and puts all sorts of things atop their head. :) That's why it's such a treat to be let in to their world a tiny bit. So see those glimpses of silly and fun. I love it! Even if I do feel like they are looking at me like I have spaghetti on my face. ;) Thanks for a fun session, guys!

something beautiful | elkhart children's photographer

Isn't she something? Something beautiful! I had a great morning with her and her mom earlier this week. I heard all about her upcoming 4th birthday party, and how she loves to toss rocks into the pond with her dad. Such a cute kid. Thanks so much for a great session, guys. It was wonderful to see you!

we are family | mishawaka family photographer

I'm so happy to call these beautiful people family. Thanks for a fun session, guys. It was great to see you!
