Hindbaugh Family Pictures

family portraits, children pictures, sibling pictures, Ft. Wayne Photographer, Columbia City Photographer, natural light family portraits,

Last week I had the privilege of photographing the Hindbaugh girls and their dad, Cory.  We had an absolute beautiful day minus the swarms of mosquitos!  The girls were a little leery at first, but loosened up after chatting about their favorite Disney movies (Frozen & Big Hero Six) and their 4-H pigs (Popcorn & and Pokey I think).  By the end of the session they were singing “Let it Go”.

There is something so special about a father daughter portrait sessions.  Take a look at these pictures of two beautiful girls and their proud dad and you will know what I mean!  (Thanks Sarah for the helping the girls look soooo stinking cute:)

Newborn portraits are my favorite type of pictures to shoot!  This handsome little guy just confirmed why I love newborn photography.  He was perfect for his photo debut.  Even though Deacon was several weeks early you would never know with that head full of hair and his content nature.  Here are some of my favorites…to check out Deacons full newborn portrait session click here.

Kaler Family & Maternity Pictures

Two rambunctious boys and one on the way…this family maternity portrait session was packed full of laughs, bribes, and good times.  Our outdoor portrait session got rained out, but we made the most of an indoor session and captured some great candid portraits of the Kaler family.  Even though this is Becca’s third pregnancy, she has never had maternity pictures before…CRAZY RIGHT…she is waaaay too cute not to get maternity portraits.  I had a great time and we captured some wonderful moments that I hope the Kaler’s will cherish.  Check out their entire family, maternity portrait session here.

…And Then There Were Three…

Brittany and Jared have become good friends of ours and I was soooo honored when they asked me to take a couple pictures to announce they were expecting their first little peanut!  They brought the cute little onesie and we paired that with some of my props for a cute birth announcement mini portrait session.  This is the first birth announcement portrait session I have done and I absolutely love the results.  From looking at the portraits you would never guess that Brittany was feeling a bit ill and we were all swatting swarms of mosquitoes.  Thanks for the opportunity and being great sports!  I hope you like your first portraits as parents to be:)

Norah’s 1st Dance Recital Portraits

dance recital pictures, dance portraits,

My children attend daycare in Fort Wayne.  Their daycare provide several opportunities for kids to participate in extracurricular activities.  What makes these extracurricular activities different than usual is that the kids participate in them while they are at daycare.  It is great for the working parent that want their children to be involved in fun activities, but struggles with wanting to spend as much time as possible with the kiddos.

Norah has been involved in Kinder Dance through Carepointe Academy for the past several years.  The only downfall to her participating at daycare is that I don’t get to watch and I had no idea how much she enjoyed participating.  This year we will be attending Norah’s 1st Dance Recital:)  She brought her costume home and I couldn’t believe how excited she was about the recital!  Of course we had to get pictures…  So without further a do here are the portraits from Norah’s first dance recital portrait session.

A big thanks to KinderDance and Carepointe Academy for offering this at our daycare!  I love to watch how excited she is when she comes home and shows me her moves.
