  • 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!

  • A Baby for the Begos

     

    Jackie and her husband are so in love.  You can see it in their laughter together, their connection.  They are so much fun!  And before you know it they’ll be adding a baby to the family.  It’s only going to get better from here!

    Jackie is so sweet .  We laughed our way through this session.  This truck has special meaning to the two of them.

    I can’t wait to meet there bundle of joy!  It won’t be long now. . .

    Can you believe how beautiful she is?!

    It was super cold out!  So we did a few inside and a few outside.  I love how in every image I can see LOVE!

    I’m so very excited for you!  Thanks for trusting me to document this magical time for you.  I’m looking forward to meeting the baby very soon!

     

  • Words Free as Confetti

    Come, words, come in your every color.

    I’ll toss you in storm or breeze.

    I’ll say, say, say, you,

    taste you sweet plump plums,

    bitter as old lemons.

    I’ll sniff you, words, warm

    as almonds or tart as apple-red.

    feel you green

    and soft as new grass,

    lightwhite as dandelion plumes,

    or thorngray as cactus,

    heavy as black cement,

    cold as blue icicles,

    warm as abuelita’s  yellowlap.

    I’ll hear you, words, loud as searoar’s

    purple crash, hushed

    as gatitos curled in sleep,

    as the last goldlullaby.

    I’ll see you long and dark as tunnels,

    bright as rainbows,

    playful as chestnutwind.

    I’ll watch you, words, rise and dance and spin.

    I’ll say, say, say you

    in English,

    in Spanish

    I’ll find you.

    Hold you.

    Toss you.

    I’m free too.

    I say yo soy libre,

    I am free

    free, free,

    free as confetti.

    ~Pat Mora

    Words swim in my imagination all day lately.  Lush and foggy and green are my dreams.  I can smell them like honeysuckle on a nature walk.  They drift in and out of my awareness.

    I like my words tender and soulful (I like my photographs this way too).

    I used to be a therapist.  (that’s a story for a different day) But, if there is one thing I learned from it, it was this.

    Words can set you free.

    Use them generously today.

    Be kind with your words to one another.  And live life with palms up . . .  open to the world.

  • 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!
