Teletubbies | Northwest Indiana Family Photographer

Hi there!!!!!!! It’s been a LONG TIME since I’ve blogged! I decided to take some time off from the blog to catch up on life in general, enjoy summer, and just try not to be SO consumed by the business. However, the busy fall season is quickly approaching, and my down time is now officially O-V-E-R! I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the summer. It is certainly time to book for Christmas sessions, as there are only a few weekend dates left this fall! All orders must be placed by the second week in November in order to be guaranteed for Christmas delivery. So, give me a call (219.405.5117) or shoot me an email via the contact spot at the top to book your session.

This is a regular family of mine, and I love every time I get to photograph them. Boy, do they make some CUTE babies!! Check out the last picture in the post. That is one of my favorite places to shoot family images. The rolling green hills and perfect blue sky is such an ideal, simple background for any photo. I’ve shot there so much. Little Pauly had the *cutest* most unique reaction to the place. As soon as he saw the hills, with the most serious excitement, he exclaimed “Mommy! The Teletubbies are coming! The Teletubbies are coming!!!!!” While I have never actually watched the show, I instantly had to agree – it DID look just like that strange place they all kind of appeared into (Is that what happens? How do I even know this when I haven’t watched the show? idk). He loved it, and wanted to wait for them to come out after we were finished with the session. We had to convince him they had gone to bed for the night. Precious!

This session was a pure delight. Mom had an amazing vision for the session, and I was more than happy to hunt around to find the perfect locations to fit the bill. The day went off without a hitch! The girls were practically made to model, the day was gorgeous, the light was yummy, and look at these outfits!!! I do LOVE Matilda Jane!! Thanks for a wonderful time, ladies! I can’t wait for the next session!

OMG, you guys….you have no idea how much *fun* this family was to shoot. By the end of the session they had me ROLLING. They made me walk away from the session wishing I had 3 teenagers and a 5 year old at home – NOT an easy task to do! I know you guys have been dying to see these. I LOVE them!! Thanks for an amazing session!

I am literally *bursting* with joy over these photos. My dear friend Kristi recently gave birth to her first child, and I was lucky enough to get to visit them for a morning on Karli’s 17th day of life. Mom and Dad are completely in love with her – how could they not be?? It was so good to get to see my friend again and to capture this precious time in their life. Kristi, Chad – I am SO, SO happy for you three!! Karli is a perfect angel, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to come over and take these photos. I can’t wait to watch her grow up. You two are already phenomenal parents. I love you guys!

This gorgeous darling make the 4th girl in the this wonderful family! How precious is she?? Once we got her to sleep we had a great time trying out a bunch of new knit goods and baskets. She was a perfect angel, and she fits right in with the rest of her easy-going family. I’m honestly in shock at how calm things are at their house with 4 children under 5 – but they make it look so easy!! P family – it’s always a pleasure! Thanks for having me over to document this exciting time in your family’s life!! :)

This one will be going in the new Butterfly Kisses location! :) The hat is from their newborn collection.

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?

Perfect Baby Gracie

Gracie’s momma and I got to know each other over two years ago, while we were both planning our weddings. After years of chatting online, we finally met yesterday!! I was so excited to see her home and her and her new, perfect family. Congrats Danae and Micah! She is gorgeous and beautiful, just like her parents!!

This shot was inspired by the amazing PinkleToes.
