Take a family that I haven’t seen for a year and add in a TO DIE FOR location in the country, and you have photographer heaven. Here is a little peek of what that looks like for me……it was SO great to see T, Z, and C after so long!! Thanks for a WONDERFUL session!
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!
I. Adore. This. Family.
I’ve known Mom since I can remember, and I feel so blessed to get to watch their family grow and capture these precious memories for them. The Bryan family just recently welcomed a perfect, gorgeous bundle of joy into their lives. Today I spent the morning taking B’s newborn photos. It was so neat to see how big brother and sister had already so effortlessly welcomed little brother into their home and hearts. I decided to do an all b&w blog post this time. The images are simple, and I couldn’t wait to share them with everyone! I also wanted Daddy to see before he left. 
He is so cute, he even had to pinch his own cheek in the photo below! 
Those lips!!! AYKM?? Perfection!
The boys of the family. Look at those LASHES! I just can’t get enough of this big brother. I’m amazed by his memory and how he remembered I had a bag of goodies for him to choose from at the end of the session. He asked me if I had anything “cool” this time. lol Love it! He is such an amazing, loving big brother. This photo just makes me melt.
Ok, really? Can’t you just soak in the sweetness that is oozing from those gorgeous eyes. Big sister has grown so much since fall, and I couldn’t help but stop what I was doing every time she put on her excited face and made some insanely adorable hand gestures to tell me about her swim suit. Love, love, love.
And, finally, nothing to me is more precious than mom/newborn skin on skin shots. So simple and so pure.
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!!!
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!
Here’s another gorgeous senior girl. I had such a great time visiting her *sweet* farm and traveling around the backroads for this session. I hope you love the photos, V! Thanks for making my job so easy!
She won the last contest, because I didn’t post yesterday! Now, the contest is officially over, and we’ve had several winners. Make sure to vote below in the Cover Child Contest, which runs through tomorrow.
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!
fierce. Plain and simple. I loved everything about this session. Meghan, I hope you LOVE these as much as I do!!
I’m having some issues with my cell phone today. Translate that to – I’m getting NOTHING!! Feel free to call me at home if you need to get ahold of me
