It’s a new year and I’m going to update this site more often in 2015! Here’s a couple photos of a cutie pie when the sun was shining!

Bontrager Family
Way back when, I started a blog. I was an aspiring photographer, nervous to take a leap of faith. This gorgeous sorority sister of mine with mermaid hair and a princess heart wrote me back, she asked me to photograph her daughter, Whitney, at Butler University where we went to school. That was 2011. These are the first commissioned images I ever took.


Then Miss Mallory had a turn.

We’ve had several years of fun together now! Here are my favorites from our most recent session.















Thanks so much Meg. There would be no Silver Pennies without you! Your support, kindness, and friendship mean the world to me.
Love,

Emilee & Jeff
On my birthday I received the most amazing gift. A waterfall of tears. Graditude abounds as I witnessed the miracle of birth on the day of my own.
A testament to what mothers and fathers do to create family and grow love. As hope will float, love will grow. When you love so deeply you want to expand that love, and so it was that Jeff and Emilee created a family on Valentines Day years ago, and soon after came Mary and Ethan. And on this day, Emilee was brave, calm, & peaceful. . . Holy I might say. . . Divine. I witnessed the Divine.











“In with the good but none of the bad”
At one moment Jeff looked upon Emilee with wedding eyes, renewed in spirit. He said, ” I love you so much, you’re doing so good” Sitting. Waiting. Wishing.




“Please Lord”
“Thank you Lord” was all she ever said.
Jeff announced it was a girl at 10:04 am and she was 9 lbs 13 oz.
Paint me in your sunshine.

I look in glory at the instant mother and daughter bond. She is a newly impassioned soul. Light infused morning, filling the room with warmth like the glow of angels and new beginnings. and Clara, flesh wrapped in light and grace. Every little heart beat, every little breath, you will always be their girl. Welcome to the world Clara. You are so very loved.

Best Friends
This is what best friend sessions are all about. Sweet 16, such a fun time; driving, boys, and girl time. Can you believe these three! They are each so gorgeous and I’m telling you they’re smart and fun too!














Have a great school year, girls. This was one great evening to capture!

Girl Scout Campout
My daughter, Ruby, is a Brownie. A sweet group of girls with hearts of gold. Each summer we kick off the season with a mother~daughter campout. This year it was supposed to thunderstorm, almost tornado in fact! We nearly cancelled. The weather reports were wonderfully wrong and it hardly rained a drop. Here’s some of the fun!
Silly girly girls.
