  • Spring is in the Air

    I’ve had the honor of photographing the Longenberger Family several times now and I’m telling you they are some of the nicest and most fun folks ever.  Full of smiles and always laughing.  Their boys are adorable and hilarious.  They are so connected with each other as a family.

    It’s really my favorite thing to watch a family grow and feel like friends~so these sessions are close to my heart.  I hope it shows.

    Isn’t this Indiana spring everything it should be?!  Greens and pastels and soft morning dewy light.

    Oh, how I love to chase the light.

    Can you believe the blue eyes!

     

    Jill always looks like a celebrity stylist dresses her in the morning.  And no matter what these energetic boys throw her way, she’s the vision of calm & kindness.

     

    You can tell, I adore them.

    Thank you bunches!

    Happy Spring,

  • The Simerly Family

     Hello again!

    So, I first met the Simerly family when their son turned one.   We had such a good time playing in the park for his first year portraits.  You’ll recognize him.  He’s the one with the Ah-mazing blue eyes that I display every. single. time. I get the chance.  (wink)

     

     

    I know~future heart breaker~right?

    Well, this couple (with movie star good looks) decided to add to their crew.

     

    Meet Andrew.

    I LOVE HIS RED HAIR!

    Time goes so quickly when they are little.  He’s already so big.  Can you believe he’s trying to crawl at 6 months!  Strong boy!  I had such a good time laughing with Kelly and sharing tips on getting your toddlers to eat veggies  (Jack love salad & we both recommend the made with yogert ranch for dipping).

     

    Six months is such a fun age.  I wanted these images capture Andrew right now;  joy * full, crawling, & drooling.  His extra * ordinary everyday magic.  What a genuine fun lovin’ morning.  Thanks so much!  I love this job!

  • James and the giant cupcake

    James and the giant cupcake

     When I first met James, he was just days old.  Fresh and sweet and teensy weensy.  He had the sweetest toes and perfect little nose.

    I recentlly got to catch up with Sweet baby James and you wouldn’t believe the changes.  He’s got this belly laugh.  It’s so sweet!  And oh how he smiles.  It melts me.   James was in awe of the snow.  He has wide eyes to the world.  Full of wonder and magic.  Oh, and  he loves peek~a~boo and his mama.

    So, After a minute outside we decided to warm up with a cupcake.  You might think this little guy might take his time with a giant cupcake, but he was so quick to smash it I barely got a shot in!  So much fun.  James’s mom Christie went to Butler like me,  so we had lots to catch up on and lots of laughing.

     

     

    I adore this family. I am so grateful to get to photograph the first year of James Patrick’s life.  And I have to add. . . while he’s not quite on the move, James is doing my absolute favorite baby thing!  The SWIMMER.  Love it and you guys!
