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!

{Heat Wave} | Northwest Indiana Family & Child Photographer

Oh boy, was this a hot and sticky session! We had to reschedule this session due to rain and then illness, so despite the intense heat the show had to go on! As always, though, Ian was nothing but happy and perfectly content to play around outside while we captured some photos. I adore photographing this little guy, and so love watching him grow up. This past session he called me “Mantha” – SO CUTE!! Thanks again for a wonderful time with your family. You guys are the best!

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!!!

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!

Congrats to Sarah!

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!
