  • Shafer Family

    It has been a rough summer for these guys.  Sarah was hospitalized and seriously ill while pregnant.  But gratefully all is well in their world now.  And she is aglow with their sweet baby #3.  I’ve photographed these boys before and it didn’t take too long for them to have fun and enjoy some brotherly shenanigans.  With their soulful eyes and giddy grins, I can’t look at a single image without smiling.  We used more than one outfit for this family session.  I’m always open to that, especially if you choose fabulously coordinating (not matchy- matchy) clothes like Sarah did!  A+!  I can’t wait to meet your bundle of joy!  Thanks so much Shaffers!  It was an awesome night!

     

     

  • 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.

  • Muszik Family

    Abundence.  This session was MORE.  More joy, more smiles, more laughs, more photo~bombs, more rewarding.  I met Jen at Butler.  We were sorority sisters (the wild and delinquent kind).  While we never lost touch and I have photographed her family before, this time it means so much more.  Jen and I have become so much closer lately.  We’ve had some of those tearfilled ~ hand holding conversations that only true girlfriends have.  It means the world to me to give her the gift of memories of her family.  Jen, I adore you.  My cup runneth over.


    With Grace & a Silver Penny,

  • 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!

  • Headshots

    I love doing things that are outside the box.  As you know, I mostly shoot families, babies, & children.  I kind friend of mine asked me to shoot her wedding and it was one of the most tremendously beautiful day both emotionally and visually.  So when she asked me to do something a little different again, I was thrilled to do it.  This summer I got to do some headshots for a great group of women.

    Beautiful women.

     

    Thank you ever so!
