best idea ever | notre dame family photographer

 The sky darkened so quickly and soon after the sky just opened up and rain began to fall.  We had just a small window of time to get this photo session in.  This adorable family returned to campus for a friend's wedding and booked a photo session while they were here.  Best idea ever! ;)  We ended up meeting the next morning and it was a success.  So glad I got the chance to meet this these adorable family.

How cute are they?!  It was such a treat to meet this new to JHP family.  Campus was the perfect setting for their family photo session. The kids had twinkles in their eyes and they put a smile on my face.  I shared on Facebook..."High fives all around when you nail the perfect image of the resident speedster."  Love it!!

It's Graduation season and this fella is our most recent Baby Step Graduate.  Bittersweet for sure.  That second image up there?  You can just read so much of his expression.  Awesome.  Isn't it?!  Thanks for a fun year, friends.

brownie points | mishawaka family photographer

This family gets some major brownie points.  Not just because they are pretty cute.  And not just because they are ND fans.  But this time it is because of their patience.  Our original date was back a month or two, but for one reason or another we just couldn't make our schedules sync until last weekend.  I always say it will be worth the wait and this time was no different!  Thanks for a fun session.  It was great to work with you, again!

we are ND | south bend family photographer

We are ND!  This adorable family came in to town for the big game.  And it turned out to be a big win.  I count it such a privilege that this job allows me to meet fabulous families, like this one here.  How cute is that pic up above?!  And below?!  Feeling blessed.

same sidewalks | notre dame family photographer

Sometimes you make plans in spite of Indiana's infamous fickle weather.  And sometimes those plans work!!  It was such a treat to meet this darling family and to hear about their time as students at Notre Dame.  To hear about the rainy day that they became engaged and to see their beautiful children walking the same sidewalks that these Notre Dame lovebirds walked.  I count it a privilege to be a part of documenting your lives.  Thanks for a great session.  It was wonderful to meet you!

good things | granger baby photographer

We have made it through an entire first year with this adorable kid.  These guys hold a special place in my heart.  Not just because Big Sister is a Baby Step Alumni, but they are friends of ours.  It's always bittersweet when we have a Baby Step Graduate, but good things are ahead.  You'll see...just scroll to the bottom and you will find this little guy is already looking ahead. :)  Thanks for a great year!
