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 […]

Portraits are always unique because it has […]
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 & […]
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 […]
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. […]
Spring has sprung…take a look for yourself! This was my first outdoor family session of the year and it turned out beautifully. This family is near and dear to me. My husband coached the Sieger’s middle daughter in volleyball when she was maybe 12! She has since graduated high school, college, and is married. […]
