I shot a family up at Cook’s Apple Orchard last fall and it was my mission to shoot at the same location in the spring when the apple trees were in full bloom. We had such a wet spring, it was difficult to plan any shoot outdoors let alone time it around the apple […]
I just finished up one of the most meaningful and influential photography projects. I was contacted in December of 2015 about the possibility of photographing the firefighters of Fort Wayne for a calendar. Prior to this project I didn’t know who Doug Schenkel was, what LLS stood for, or really anything about the Fort Wayne […]
I had been wanting to use a beautiful quilt I purchased at an antique sale, but never had the right moment. As soon as I saw the yellow bow and pink diaper cover I knew I found the perfect opportunity to use my old quilt. I can’t believe little Cora is already 3 months old! […]
My sister and her husband are preparing for their first child. I’m so excited for her and can’t wait til their little Everly Anne arrives! Maternity portraits are best taken between weeks 32-36. Much before 32 weeks and your baby bump isn’t prominent enough and after 36 weeks you begin to get uncomfortable. Let’s be […]
Krisna won a gift certificate at a high school fundraiser. They decided to get some sweet 16 portraits and some portraits to use for upcoming pageants of her daughter. One of the requirements for the pageant portrait was to incorporate hobbies or activities that you were involved in. Mikayla is in show choir and loves […]
Sarah and Cody were recently engaged and I couldn’t be more excited for them! I’ve known Sarah for at least 7 years and she has been babysitting our kids for at least 6 years. I was more than thrilled when she asked me to shoot their engagement portraits. We were hoping to get some snowy […]
Each year we do a family picture in the fall for our Christmas cards. For the past several years my husband has participated in a fundraiser to raise awareness for men’s health called Movember. This involves shaving his facial hair into a creepy mustache for the entire month of November! Therefore, it is my personal […]
How precious are these little girl newborn shots!!!? Sweet Cora was born on January 24th, 2 weeks before her due date. She still came in at a healthy 7 lbs 1 oz and measured 20 inches. She stole her parents hearts the moment she arrived. As I was editing these images I couldn’t help but […]
It’s an exciting time when a family is growing. It is easy to get caught up in busy schedules and the preparation of a new baby. I try to think back to my 2nd pregnancy and there are many details that are just not there because I was preparing to welcome a new baby, while […]
I’ve taken these boys’ pictures since the oldest was 1, but I have never photographed them all together. We had two goals during this session, to get pictures of the boys together and to get 1 year individual portraits of the youngest Frazier boy, Colin. Sibling portrait sessions can be chaotic, but they also result […]
