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 brother and sister pair may have been the sweetest, most cooperative children I have ever worked with. They were so loving to one another – it was wonderful to witness. They traveled up to Valpo to meet me for their photo session, and thankfully the day was perfect. I had a great time with these two, and it was so fun to work with twins!!!

Congrats to Sarah!

Have times changed….

or is it just me? Ok, so I KNOW they have changed since I graduated 10 years ago – and I am GLAD! I look back at the options I had when I was a senior looking to get my photos done, and there was NOTHING like this around. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE senior session, and Jessica’s was no exception. This girl is so beautiful and sweet – she was a dream to photograph. Jess, I hope you love them!

She is…

such a ham. And, I have nothing to do with that. At all.

Yes, this is an icky quality photo from my point and shoot, but how could I not capture Ky hamming it up next to her photo in Starbucks? She was so excited to go see her photo up there. She even got all dressed up. Love you, Ky!

Contest winners will be announced tomorrow!

and these were the last ones to get in on the Butterfly Kisses Contest….which by the way will start tomorrow!

These little ones just melted my heart. They are all so fantastically cute, you can’t help but just fawn all over them.

This one CRACKS me up. Check out that look of pure terror!!! lol

Mom, Dad, and I all worked hard for this shot. Unfortunately, quite a bit of sweat went into trying to get this! Thanks for being troopers, Mom and Dad!

Grandma’s gorgeous garden and some equally gorgeous curls.

Pre-Prom 08

sammyv22 — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 02:58:00 +0000

I was very excited to be asked to document pre-prom for this GORGEOUS couple! Taylor (and her dress AND shoes) were stunning! Ricky may be the most polite senior boy I have ever met. No wonder Taylor’s Mom loves him so much! I hope you two had a great time! Watch for Taylor’s upcoming beach model shoot. Can’t wait!
