Lots and lots more to come from this fun session in Columbus, Ohio.  LOVE these kiddos!!

Happy Birthday MOM!

September 2, 2010

This thoughtful father/son duo wanted to create a special surprise for mom on her birthday.  Dad scheduled a photo shoot and the results brought tears to her eyes on her special day.  These pictures show the true love between a father and son.  I think they will be forever cherished. I want to share just a few……….

I have just been in heaven with all of this beautiful evening sunlight and mild temperatures.  I have had one gorgeous photo session after another.  I had to stop editing and show you just one from my new favorite location.  This image will be printed as a large canvas to hang over their couch. I just LOVE when people can see their images as ART!!!  I have so many sessions to blog so check back soon.

This first picture may just be my most favorite sibling shot EVERRRRRRRR!!!  You see all of those snuggled up, sleepy, curled up babies I post pictures of.  It is sometimes not as easy as it looks.  Newborn sessions take a lot of time and a lot patience. I understand that and  I think that is why I enjoy them so much. With 3 little ones of my own I understand that for the older siblings, their world has been turned upside down.  This first picture is real life!!  Best of all, this COOL mommy loved it and ordered it for her collection.  How could you not have this images a keepsake.  You will see in the images following that it was just a brief moment of crying before we were back on track.  Still, I think that image is PRICELESS and I feel blessed to have captured it!!!



I had not seen Peyton since her newborn session.  Iw as so excited to see her little smiling face come through my door.  She had an ear to ear grin the entire time she was here.  Even when we went outside in the 90 degree heat, she was all smiles.  Happy Birthday sweet girl!


I was so excited to photograph these precious newborn triplets.  I knew that getting them all out of the house to my studio would be so much work for this new mommy and daddy.  I was happy to travel to their home to make them more comfortable.  It was amazing to see how organized this little family was.  Three of everything lined up in perfect order.  These precious little babies are so well loved.  I was there for quite a while but is was all worth it when I saw the images.  I’m so glad I could be a small part of this amazing time in their lives.  I wanted to capture the moment of them all snuggled up together just like they were for almost 9 months.  What a special bond they have even as newborns.  I absolutely LOVE the last image.  Just hands full of BABIES!!!

I was so excited to get a call from this family.  This gorgeous Mommy is a friend of mine from college.  Facebook reconnected us and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to photograph them.  What a beautiful family!!  I love that they chose this first image as their mantle piece.  So much personality and LOVE shines through!


I LOVE this age……….

August 23, 2010

What a little cutie!  I do really love this age.  He had so much personality and it really showed in all of his pictures.  His Grandma was here for our fun time together as well.  I love when family can be a part of a milestone session.

We spent a lovely summer morning at  Rita’s Backyard located on 116th St. in Fishers.  I have known Rita for years and she is always a pleasure to work with.  Her garden center is a magical little place.  So much character, so many things to see.  It is the perfect spot for a summer photo session.  As you can see, little Miss Hayden loved it.   If you want to have a YUMMY quaint lunch, you can visit Rita’s tearoom.  Rita has a large selection of teas and tea accessories to accompany the wonderful lunch that they serve.

Here is another blog post from Rita’s Backyard garden center.  It is such a lovely place and just perfect for a shoot with these adorable sisters.  I have been photographing Miss Ellie since she was in her mommy’s belly.  She has given me some of the most gorgeous, serious images I have ever taken.  I was sooooo thrilled when she gave me big smiles at this session.  As for little sister, she is all smiles, all the time.
