a rainbow a midst the gray[Lafayette,Indiana family photography]

we headed out an a rather brisk.. and totally rainy day. um.. yeah.. it never stopped raining the entire session... we just quickly ditched the umbrellas... ran for the alleys and had some fun ! I love the bright color combos that mom picked out. She totally had a vision for what kind of images she wanted and I helped her put some outfits and she scored some great accessories for herself. I think they look so happy and cheery! (we almost didn't mind getting completely soaked!)
Look at this beautiful mama with her two girls. I am so thankful to have known her for the last three years.. sadly they have just moved away to California.. We met only days after they had moved to town and our baby girls were just a couple months old ( and within a month of each other). Our two boys were just shy of a month apart in age also.
Our husbands got along great and we enjoyed our many get togethers as families. I was blessed by her constant invitations to her church's enrichment nights.




They have been such wonderful friends and we are sure going to miss them. I am thankful for their loyalty to my business as well. I have gotten to watch their children grow up from behind my lens. I have captured anticipation of a new life... and the sweetness of a newborn baby girl.
C was worried that she wouldn't find a photographer out in Cali and asked me to take one last family session including their newest little member =)

I sure hope that you like these pictures as much as I did taking them and going thru editing.... though I have to admit, it was a bit sad for me as my daughter was watching me , asking if little L could come to her birthday party...

We wish you the best in your new place.. you will make it such a wonderful home for your family. We have been blessed to know you and we hope someday soon to be able to visit you out west !Thanks again for trusting me to capture the personalities of your family and the memories for years to come.
Miss you.... =)

a change of pace[Lafayette, Indiana child,family, photography]

So my sessions are normally full of wee ones and families... and I love every bit of time I spend with them. I love the chasing, and the coercing and laughing and making a silly nut out of myself to get smiles.. (really, I truly do.) plus, I love a mini work out =)

I was thrilled when Miss L asked me to take her pictures. She is gorgeous, and stepped up and smiled with out any fruit snacks tossed at her. lol... I think 19/20 pics were awesome, and that one is only b/c I caught her blinking (because my darling daughter was trying to get into the scene too..lol)

I love meeting new clients and getting to know them during our sessions. I love hearing their stories. As the morning show producer of our local WLFI television company, Miss L had quite the stories.. I had no idea half of what goes on and it was fun to hear a bit about the behind the scenes.

With your personality and beauty, I have no doubt you will find your spot in a much bigger market. I wish you good luck as you begin your search. I am happy to have been able to help you as you begin your journey. I will have your cd of images to you soon.

Anticipation...[Lafayette, Indiana maternity photography]

I had the privilege of spending some time with this beautiful couple as they anticipate the arrival of their first child. At just 3 weeks away from her due date, this mama -t0-be was glowing. Her husband was too.. (I hope it is ok, that I say you were 'glowing' !)

I loved witnessing the love between the two of them.. I just know they will be great parents! I had considered another location for their session, before deciding on this park. When we met, they informed me that they had actually celebrated their first anniversary at this same place!

Thank you so much for asking me to capture this special time in your lives. I am so glad that daddy-to-be was involved too! I wish you blessings as you await this new little life that will turn your "two" into a family of three. I can't wait to meet him or her! See you soon!
