It was so fun to see this family and photograph them at the beach last week.  I went to school with both Mom and Dad and haven’t seen them for quite some time.  They have such adorable little boys that were a blast to photograph playing together.  And, I *loved* the way mom coordinated the colors of their outfits.  It is a perfect example of how you don’t have to be all “matchy” for family photos.  Combining different colors and patterns can work – and I loved the way the colors of their clothes pop against the beach backdrop!!   Thanks for a great evening, K Family!

made my day. 

I logged into myspace today, and I saw this photo as one of my client’s profile pics.  Her gorgeous twins are on display now at the Starbucks in Valpo, and she stopped in with her beautiful boys to check them out.  She LOVED them!  Thanks for sharing the photo with me, Andi!  You made me smile today!!

On a side note, can you believe that the cute little blondie started out with dark, dark hair just like his little brothers?  When I saw his newborn photos, he looked SO much like the twins!  I thought it was so cool to see how much he had changed.  I wonder if the twins will end up with blonde hair like their sweet older bro?

I couldn’t be more excited about my recent business ventures with Butterfly Kisses, Northwest Indiana’s most impressive Mommy & Me Boutique.

My display hanging above all of these gorgeous clothes gives me goose bumps!!!

Look at the adorable ivy on the wall created by Jen’s amazing painter! (I’ll get her name up here soon. She is awesome!)

So cute!!

HERE IS THE OTHER OFFER!!! I don’t have any children, but for some reason I can’t squash the urge to buy both of these dresses. Every single time I go into the store, I can’t help but pick them up and dream of the day I have a little one to dress. I’m totally in clothing LOVE with these two outfits…..SO…..

Get in there and snatch up one (or both!) of these insanely adorable dresses!!!

More adorable clothes

Yes, they do have boy’s clothes, but I got a little distracted by the bows and lace and pink and prettiness of all the girly stuff. So, stop in to see their fantastic selection of the latest in boy’s fashions.

Welcome to the new blog! I’m so excited to finally have a blog on my own website. This will be the place to check in from now on. I love how large I can post the photos. I hope you enjoy the new site

Today I had the pleasure of photographing my first maternity session. This mother was simply stunning and was radiating that gorgeous, pregnant glow. I couldn’t believe this tiny little mama had TWINS inside that perfectly round bump. She’s due in just a couple of weeks! I wish you guys the best, and I can’t wait to meet the newest members of your family!
