{Tori’s Sweet 16} | Northwest Indiana Photographer

So a couple of Saturday’s ago, Valpo’s Venue got rocked by Tori’s Sweet 16 Birthday Bash.  Let me tell you, this was a party like none other.  Not only is the Venue an awesome place to have a party, but the family made this party insane!!!  The pictures will tell the story.  Tori – Happy Birthday, sweetie!!!  It is always a treat to photograph you, and I was honored to be there for this big occasion.

{Coming Soon: Brooklyn} | Indiana Maternity Photographer

 

 

Life is happening so quickly around here these days, I know the blog has been quite neglected.  Many posts will be coming soon, as I have a LOT to update!!  Last weekend, I got to hang out with the most awesome parents-to-be.  I can’t wait for their little bundle of joy to arrive.  They are such an artsy, edgy couple, and there home was SO freaking cool.  The newborn session is going to be ah-mazing!!!  Meanwhile, these two love birds are awaiting Brooklyn’s arrival in serious style.  These two may be one of the sweetest, most in love couples I’ve ever photographed.  They were so natural in front of the camera, just loving one another – the images I captured are some of the sweetest to date.  I can tell these are two are soon going to become an amazing, loving, wonderful family of three!  I’m so excited to be documenting their journey into parenthood!  :)

Love these boys…..

You may recognize the little man in these first two shots from the top of my blog.  He’s the little flirt with the blonde curls that is shown in the revolving photos.  To my surprise, he was so grown up, lookin’ like a little man when I arrived for their photo shoot last weekend!  I’ve been photographing these brothers for over a year now ( take a journey with them here, here, and, here ) and I just love them to pieces!!!  One thing I’ve always noticed is the connection between these two guys.  Big Bro Joe started making silly faces, and Beau just LOST it.  This kid was laughing so hard I thought he was going to start crying.  I have another photo of him with one of those crazy, hysterical laugh faces on – just precious!!  It was after that Joey promptly told me he was “done” with photos, and I had to agree.  We had a great morning, and he supplied the perfect ending to the shoot.  Much love to the K Family – you guys rock!

This weekend….

 

blogvertical-n-horizontal-copy-3

I donated my hair to Locks of Love, gave my AH-Mazing hair stylist Kristi the biggest hug (go see her at Hair Sculptors on Evans Ave in Valpo *477-4455* – she is the BEST!!), and gave my husband a quick lesson on how to snap away with my camera, because my self-portrait skills leave MUCH to be desired.   I guess it was about time to get a decent photo of myself for my website, and let me tell you – it feels weird on the other side of the camera!!

Lovely…

is the best way to describe my time spent with this family. I was invited up to their family cottage in Union Pier, Michigan. I knew from the beginning I was going to love shooting at this location. Every little detail included generations of memories for this family. I love to incorporate special touches into portraits – something that means so much to the client, but yet may not be obvoius to other viewers. I think every photo we took at the cottage had that extra special touch. There was just so much history and love streaming from this place. I was sad to leave!

“A” family – thank you for being so hospitable. I think we finally nailed down the perfect day. I love your home away from home, and I look forward to seeing you all again!
