Three Little Peaches - Family Photography Hobart Indiana

Today I was fortunate to meet the "D" family.   Christy and I attended the same private school MANY years ago but I had never met her beautiful family.   They were "up" visiting from Georgia and I was giving the opportunity to photograph her three little peaches.

It was a cold yet beautiful day.  We were blessed with lots of beautiful snow and very little wind. 

Stacy, Christy, Ally, Sarah, and Emily,
It was wonderful seeing all of you!  Have a safe trip home.  I hope that you love your "sneak peek".

The "D" family....





Lots of love and laughs....

A picture perfect family! Family Photography Union Mills Indiana

Saturday was a day for taking pictures.  I started my day with my girls having their picture taken for the News Dispatch.  I then spent part of my afternoon photographing the "K" family.  

I drove out to Union Mills to meet "Dad", Amanda, Hanna, and Drew.  Drew is home, on leave, from the Army and Amanda thought it would be a great opportunity for some family photos.   We had hoped for snow but I think that we should have been more specific with our requests.   The sky was filled with huge, beautiful, flakes for our entire shoot.  We made the most of it and here are some of the results.

"K" family,
I enjoyed meeting you and hope that you enjoy your sneak peek.   Have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy your time together! 


Meet Amanda and Hanna!

Three Cuties! Children's photographer Michigan City, Indiana

I had the pleasure of meeting Amy when Rebekah and I were working a wedding at Sand Creek Country Club.   If you want to have your event at their beautiful facility then Amy is the lady you want to deal with.   Not long after the wedding I received an e-mail, from Amy, asking if I would be willing to take pictures of her beautiful children.   Of course, I said YES! 


Today I met Mike, Amy, and family at Creek Ridge County Park and we spent the morning taking pictures.  It was a beautiful day and the kids were great!   What more could a photographer ask for?!?!


Mike and Amy, 
Thank you for the opportunity to photograph your children.  They are lovely!  I hope that you love your sneak peek.

Keegan and Heather - Wedding Photographer Chesterton Indiana

This past Saturday Rebekah and I photographed the wedding of Keegan and Heather.    The bride and groom have been together for 7 years and are obviously made for eachother. 

The sanctuary, at Liberty Bible, was filled with family and friends who traveled a long way to celebrate with them.  There was a lot of love in that church. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple. 

The reception was held at the Sand Creek Country Club.  It was my first opportunity to work at this venue and it was wonderful.   Everything was picture perfect!

Three times the fun! - Children's photography Porter County Indiana

Saturday I was able to meet Courtney, Trent, Briana, and Kara at Coffee Creek.   It was a beautiful day and didn't feel like November at all.  Unfortunately bright sunshine isn't good for pictures but we made the most of it anyhow.


Courtney, 
Thank you for the wonderful chance to meet you and your beautiful children.  It was a pleasure!  I hope that you enjoy your "sneak peek".


Look at those eyes!  Meet Trent. He is 7 years old and was a perfect little model. He was so well behaved and just a good boy.






Briana is a adorable and spirited 2 year old. She wasn't much on cooperating but I was faster that she was.....sometimes. :)





She had lots of funny faces for me.





Kara is 7 months old and so sweet. She is a very patient little girl and has the best smiles.

Two, Four, Six....FUN! Children's photography Porter County Indiana

Monday afternoon I met Emma, Eli, and Ella ages 6,4, and 2.  I am not going to say it was an easy shoot but it was fun.

Emma is a beautiful little lady and my most willing subject.  Eli was all boy!  He wanted to run, pick on Emma (I have a little brother and I know how that goes!), roll down hills, etc.  Ella is an adorable little girl who wanted NOTHING to do with having her picture taken.   It was quite the challenge to get all three of them in one shot.  We weren't able to achieve that "perfect picture", of all of them, but there will be plenty of time for that in the future.  Someday Mike and Leighanne will be able to look back and these photos will be wonderful reminders of this crazy time. 

Leighanne, it was WONDERFUL to see you again!  You are still the sweet person that I remember and you are so blessed.  I look forward to doing this, again, soon and hope that you enjoy what we captured.

Here are your three blessings!
