Handsome Little Guy, "D"

Meet baby "D," such a sweetie! He was three weeks

old in these pics and I was a little nervous that he

wouldn't cooperate. Typically to get babies to pose

this way, they are best taken the first 10 days.

Needless to say, I was very excited to get these!

*

"D" is Marisa and Michael's first baby and I have

a feeling he will never lack an ounce of LOVE!

Congrats to you both, thanks for choosing me

to capture your precious little guy :)

Meet Little Miss Harley ~ My new niece!

Little Miss Harley was born a few weeks ago & I am

so happy to debut her first round of pics! I got to

spend a little time with her all by myself....well,

Kendall was "helping" me too :)

*

Honestly, when I had her, all I wanted to do was

snuggle her......I love the warmth of a baby & their

little baby breath....the diapers....well, I could live

without them! LOL!

Beautful Families....CHILLY morning!

I have known this family for 20+ years......I LOVE

that I am still in contact with them and have gotten

to see how they have grown in their extended families.

*

Thanks for braving the chilly weather to meet up

with me and my lens.....It is always great to see

all of you :) Sarah/Jim & Girlies....thanks for

traveling to be here. Love you all!

Meet Eli Edwardsburg 2010 Senior

Eli and I met up over the weekend for his

senior session. He was full of personality

and we had a great time catching it for his

pics! He has more faces then I have seen

Jim Carey make! He had me cracking up

99.9999% of the time!

*

Eli, your session was a breath of fresh air!

Thanks for being yourself and allowing me

to capture YOU!

Special times together.....{New Paris, IN - Cornfield Country!}

Last year I met with this family at the beach & I

cannot believe how much the kids have grown

since then! We had a good time exploring a

new location together and they brought a

special guest this time too.......Grandma.....

*

I really enjoyed my morning with all of you

and am so grateful that I get an opportunity

to be a part of your memories.....thank you.

this was a rare moment.....as they

were on the go most of the time!

burst of sunshine.....

love this one......

your family pile :)

Meet Jake 2010 Senior

Jake is looking forward to a career in film

after graduation and enjoys paintballing with

friends. He was here, like most of my guys,

just to get these done for Mom....I think that

he was relieved that they were not nearly as

painful as he thought! :)

*

Jake, thanks for looking into my lens,

you took some great shots!

Meet Colin 2010 Senior

Colin was just like a typical guy, not too excited

to get his pics done, but warmed up during the

session and ended up taking some awesome shots!

*

Colin, thanks for looking into my lens

and best of luck in the Marines!

my fav......

ND Vs USC....sort of....

Ok, this family flew in from Las Vegas and Washington DC

to meet up for the big game at ND. Jordan, went to law

school here and his brother-in-law went to USC....

and so the rivalry begins.....

*

of course, they set their differences aside for pics...hahaha!

*

Thanks to all of you for spending some of your time here in

Indiana with me, it was nice to be a part!

family sandwhich......

playful pics are the best.....they allow you to

remember the emotion you had during that

time with your loved ones....

beautiful.....

Little "C" was not used to the chilli-ness and

tried hard to let us know that this is where

he wanted to be....cozy in his little dream-world

generation photo......

These are always my fav......life is not always

perfect with folded-hands in your laps and big

grins on your faces....in fact, most of the time,

it looks like this.....

We make BIG leaves in Indiana......
