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 […]
Amanda has been my best friend since high school and it is always a great time photographing her and her family. Her brother and sister are practically my siblings and there is no holding back when we all get together. Amanda contacted me to do a sibling/extended family portrait session as a gift for their […]
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, […]
Last weekend I had a fun shoot with 7 week old little Norah (I love the name :). This little one was stylish, to say the least, with her little red Chucks, her fancy Christmas dress, and precious cream sweater dress. It is safe to say that we wore her out. By the end of […]
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 […]
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 […]
