Sneak Peek for the R family[West Lafayette, Indiana family photography]

I was thrilled when J asked me if I would take her family's pictures! Such a sweet , sweet person she is ..still after not seeing her for like 10 years! wait.... more like over 15 years! yikes!! lol I was so excited to meet her little family. Her daughter is just like her mama.. sweet as can be.. and a little sassy too! I always like to give my clients a variety in their images and so I share some variations in my editing depending on how I feel the image will be enhanced the best. I am a sucker for b/w , as I feel they can evoke so much emotion just out of a single image!

Congratulations to J and R on your cute little family. I can tell how proud of this girl you are. She is quite the young lady and I am sure it is because of you two. Keep up the good work!

Had to laugh during this part of our session.... what 10 year old wouldn't want to see mom and dad get all mushy gushy?

Can you hear the "EEEEEWWWW" coming thru this picture?? lol

Thanks so much for having me capture your family's moments. It was such fun ! Enjoy your peek and I'll have the images up in your gallery soon.

Miss A - Jeff High School [Lafayette, Indiana senior photography]

I love senior sessions! I always have so much fun with these 'kids' and their moms. Miss A was cracking me up the whole time- she is quite possibly one of the funniest people I have ever met!
This senior gal keeps busy as a cheerleader, softball player, hosting a morning radio show, playing leads in musicals and yes.. folks.. she plays the cowbell in the girl's choir. Those are just a few of the activities that keep this girl hoppin'. She has her eyes set to attend BSU to major in education. I think she will be a fantastic teacher one day! I know her classroom will always have laughter , that is for sure.

Through the quest for leaves, the inmates crossing, and the local -yokal that wanted to join in our session- I had a

great time hanging out with this super senior. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and I'll have the rest of your images up soon!
Stay Classy Miss A ! =)

Brother-Sister [West Lafayette, Indiana child photography, family photography]

You would never know by the gorgeous sunlight streaming thru these images that it was a shivery kind of morning when I met these two kiddos. Poor things.. had to keep them hoppin' and moving around to keep their blood flowing! They were such sports and I think they kinda had some fun too (at least by the end when the soccer ball came out) Mr N is a big athlete.. like 12 sport athlete.. (is there such a thing?) . He is in his last year of middle school and sounds like he will continue to keep his parents busy as he goes from team to team. I joked with him that this was a just a little preview to senior pictures.. ( I know Mom... don't want him to grow up too fast) Maybe I'll see him back in 5 years? N was a great guy to work with.

Meet Miss G.. is as cute as can be.. with a bit of sass too! She was a great sport too, as the ground was wet and leaves were slimy- but she didn't complain! lol

She keeps herself busy too with all kinds of activities. My life fast forwarded 3 years from now, when we are shuffling our crew around .

Look at those eyes.... and her smile is fantastic.. but I made her do a serious one too!

Sibling Love! Mom and Dad , I hope that you enjoy your sneak peek and I thank you so much for asking me to capture this time in your kids' lives. It was so great to meet you all. I'll have your gallery filled very soon. Please watch your email for the password!

Sneak Peek for the A family:[Lafayette Indiana family, Lafayette, Indiana child photography]

Met up with this gorgeous family at one of my favorite spots! They were so much fun. I know I say this all the time.. but I really *love* my job. I love getting to meet new people and being able to hang out with them a bit. I love learning about their lives and witnessing family dynamics. These guys were full of laughter and the love for each other just ooozed out of each one of them. I learned that this wonderful homeschooling clan recently moved to IN from Canada! I found out that they breed super adorable and amazing labradoodles. I am already itching for a four-legged puppy session one day!

There beautiful children are super smart too~ and that little guy... is quite the jokester!

bet ya can't tell?

I have been going thru zillions of images.. and oh, my there are so many fabulous ones. The above is one of my favorites. LOVE what is going on here , which is just so them. It makes me smile and laugh out loud, ever time I see it.

Thank you G, for finding me and having me capture your family's moments. I'll have your gallery up very soon.

teeny tiny guy[Lafayette, Indiana newborn photography]

I got to snuggle with Mr . A at his home last week. He was just eight days old and surprisingly wide awake for most of our session. Alas.. modeling was hard on him, and by close to the end, he was completely tuckered out. Mom's always love it when I work their babies hard.. I get emails later in the day saying how they slept unusually long! .. Just trying to help a new mom out! =)

Love this one of baby and mama.... such sweet and tender moments. *LOVE* his little wrinkles.

of course I had to do a punkin hat.. since he was an October baby.

Thanks so much for having me come capture the sweet newness of your little guy... here's hoping he stays looking like this a little longer.. and if not, we captured some great memories of the time that he was so itty bitty.. teeny tiny. small.

I'll have your gallery up real soon. Thanks again!

fun and games[Lafayette, Indiana family photography]

Had so much fun meeting K and M the other day. She was so apologetic when I arrived, b/c when she scheduled her session, she had no idea that the Colts were playing. Not a big deal for me as I don't really care much for the hometown team.. but her man had the game on.. and it was a great backdrop for our session! I was thrilled when K contacted me this summer and said she and her guy were going to buy a house and asked if I could come take some photos for them. They are such a fun couple. They laughed and laughed and just had a blast together. I love being around people that are so in love. Congratulations to you both!

Thanks again for showing me around your adorable home and having me capture you two enjoying being together. oh.. yes.. and meeting Travis the cat was a highlight. I am still laughing. You guys are too cute ! I'll have the rest up in your gallery soon.. be on the look out for your password!!

Senior session! [Lafayette, Indiana high school senior photography, Harrison High School]

Meet Miss M... Harrison High School Senior!! Had an awesome time with M and her mom-what a hoot they are! I don't know how they'll ever survive being a part once M heads off to school. She is such a cool young woman.. even if she is considering that In school down south.. don't worry.. I won't hold it against you! Best of Luck as you finish out the rest of your senior year and start the next phase in your life! You Rock girl....

M is one of my senior reps for Harrison High School. I have three of the area schools covered but am in need of some one to serve as a representative for West Lafayette HS, Benton Central HS, and Central Catholic HS. If you are or know someone that would be interested in serving as a rep , contact me right away for details on this exciting opportunity!!

What's for Dinner [photography challenge]

This is not actually what I am having for dinner tonight.. (seeing as it is 11am ).. but it IS what we had on Thursday night. I was so proud of my culinary skills.. b/c really most of the time it is my hubby who does the cooking.. that I snapped some pics.
