Portraits from the Past

My mission is to produce exceptional portraits for the “Now” that will become cherished memories of the “Past”.  This statement is the body of why I love portrait photography.  You can imagine my excitement when my husbands grandmother (Norma) found an old photo her relatives in front of their homestead.  The picture has so much meaning […]

Christmas Tree Family Portraits

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…Get into the holiday spirit with a family portrait session at a Christmas tree farm.  I’m not the only one who thinks this is a fantastic idea.  The Galbraith Family portrait was featured on Shutterfly in an article about great ideas for family portraits. Just 6 weeks ago I was […]

Wissman Outdoor Winter Family Portraits

I love a family that is willing to brave the Fort Wayne winter weather for a family portrait session:)  Even though we didn’t have any snow, the pictures turned out beautifully.  I love a challenge and anytime you get 6 children under the age of 10 you have a photo challenge.  I had a blast […]

Portraits for Grandma

Portraits can make great gifts for mom’s, grandma’s and any other family member.  This photo session was specifically done to give the prints as gifts for grandma.  The last portrait that Andrea’s daughters, nieces, and nephew had together was 3 1/2 years ago!  Andrea brought a portrait from 3 1/2 years ago when her daughter […]

Pursley Fall Portraits

Best for last…the Pursley family was my last fall mini session of the day.  The lighting was probably the best it had been all day and their portraits turned out wonderfully.  I don’t think their little girls could get any cuter!  Thanks Gwen and Randy for allowing me to photograph your family…again 🙂  I hope […]

Traylor Fall Family Pictures

It has been close to 5 years since I have seen the Traylor family!  Oh how their kids have grown.  It was an absolute pleasure photographing this family.  Matt and my husband used to work together in sales and we went our separate ways as our families grew larger and careers took us to different […]

Percy Family Portraits

I started my fall portrait sessions off with a family that is sooo much fun.  This is the second time I have had the privilege to work with the Percy family and they  came ready to go 🙂  Their fall pictures turned out beautifully and we were even to get lots of individual breakdowns.  OH […]

Fall is in the Air

Our impromptu family portrait session turned out absolutely beautiful.  To be honest with you, I was having a rather challenging day dealing with my 2 year old that thinks he runs the house and the photo session was just what I needed.  I’m not sure if it was the running back and forth to set […]

More Beach Family Portraits

Sorry it has taken me so long to get these out, but has been a crazy first week back :).  As promised I have some more beautiful beach family pictures.  Our family is already talking about going back.  These photos were taken in Gulf Shores, AL. I had planned on getting at least one family […]

Gardner Family Portraits on the Beach

My family and I just got back from a much needed vacation!  It has become a tradition to go to Gulf Shores, AL each year for a week.  This year there were 33 family members total; 13 of which were children and 9 of the children were under the age of 7!  We had such […]
