You would never guess by looking at these Christmas family photos that it was raining like crazy all day. We were forced into the barn for portraits and boy am I glad, because these are some of my favorite large family pictures EVER! There outfits couldn’t have been anymore perfect for the barn setting. I […]
This family won a gift certificate, and I’m so glad they did! Their perfect mild day turned into perfect Christmas family portraits. Formal family portraits outdoors can be tricky sometimes…Soggy ground, heals, crisp white dress, and wind are always a concern, but all of the risk paid off. Vicki and her family were great to […]
Who says you can’t combine the two! The Gardner family is a divided family, to say the least, when it comes to rooting for sports teams, but that is all part of the fun. The heckling is some of the finest that I have ever experienced he he 🙂 Roll Tide, Hooo Hooo Hooo Hosiers, […]
To think we were taking birth announcement portraits this summer…where does the time go! Brittany and Jared are expecting their first little peanut Dec. 20th! They are both so excited and I was just as excited to get some beautiful fall maternity pictures. So many expecting couples pass up getting maternity pictures…these are the moments that […]
This family holds a special place in my heart…we not only have become great friends, but they have been influential in helping my husband & I grow in our faith. There aren’t too many couples that I can say we “do life” together, but this is one of them! Kelli was in need of some family pictures […]
What a perfect time of the year to photograph in an apple orchard. We chose Cook’s Apple Orchard in Fort Wayne, IN for the location of Madison’s family portrait shoot. I had visited this orchard during a field trip with my son’s class and the owner was very welcoming and the orchard was beautiful. Madison […]
Julie contacted me several weeks ago about family pictures and senior portraits for her not so willing son. See…Julie is a smart lady! She knew how much her oldest son didn’t want Senior pictures, but she also knew how much her boys loved her and wanted to make her happy. So, like any good […]
Each year my in laws have a reunion, The Marrs Family Reunion. Every reunion there are old photos displayed and new photos taken. The photos taken are always quick snap shots of multiple different groups. We have never really organized a nice large family portrait. It’s silly really…the hardest part is coordinating a date and […]
And then there were 5… Friends of ours had their third baby boy last week. Little Titus was so handsome and looks just like his brother Eli, it is almost scary! This rambunctious family of 5 kept me on my toes and the result was beautiful. We photographed everything except the kitchen sink. […]
More people need to have portraits taken with extended family members. I’m not going to pretend like planning a large family portrait is super easy, but I don’t think you will find one person that will say they regretted having that portrait with grandma, kids, grand-kids, and great grand-kids! I look back at some of my own extended […]
