This couple, now a family, holds a special place in my heart!  Last year, I photographed Matt and Liliana’s Fountain Square Theatre wedding, and I’ve haven’t been quite the same since.  Their wedding was perfect, full of love, happiness, joy, and excitement.  I had the time of my life photographing it, and I remember quite clearly how I rushed home after their beautiful bubble exit to tell my husband all about my big day, and Matt and Liliana’s, of course.  That day proved to me just how much I love what I do, and I knew I wanted to keep on doing it.  And now my first wedding couple has a sweet baby girl, Megan, who is now 4 months old.  And I simply adore her!  Megan, you couldn’t ask for two more wonderful parents.  In fact, your Daddy told me how “very sweet and adorable” you were, and he was absolutely right!  Here are some favorites from our afternoon.

 

The forecast called for afternoon showers, which totally conflicted with my plans to meet up with this next family.  Dark clouds loomed, rain drops fell. The sky gave way for a short while, and then it stopped.  Despite the gray weather, I knew this session would be great.  Another reason shined brighter though. I was greeted with a warm hug by Celina.  She told me she was a hugger.  We had only spoken on the phone a few times and traded planning emails prior to this meeting. And that’s how I knew, from that moment, we were in for a fun session.  Please give a warm welcome to this amazing family: Chris, Celina, Cobe, Cailey, Carley, Rich, Karen, Luke, and Ashley!  You guys were so much fun!  I can’t wait to see you all again!  And now for some images!

 

We have had a fantastically beautiful fall this year in the Midwest!  I met this fun, energetic, happy family on a sunny fall evening for some family photos.  Please welcome Mark, Jenny, Jake, Sam, and Lucy!  What a gorgeous bunch!  And we were surrounded by beauty…horses, colorful leaves, and smiling faces, of course!  

We’ve had such a beautiful fall, so it’s no wonder that people love to have it captured in photos!  I had the pleasure to meet another great family!  Please welcome Phil, Lori, and David to the blog!  We could not have asked for better weather for our session, since the day before had been so cold, damp, and rainy.  A soft, warm, glowy light filtered through a nearby park, where we started off our session.  Thank you, Phil, Lori, and David for a fun evening!  And now for some of their images!

 

More proof of how much I love my job!  A few months ago, I met Heather and Brian for their maternity session.  They are an adorable couple, and two of the most genuine people I’ve ever met.  They were anxiously awaiting the arrival of their daughter, Emily, who was just as sweet as her parents. As the expression goes, time flies when you’re having fun…and oh how much fun Heather and Brian have had since the birth of Emily!  I’ve been so excited to see how much she had grown since her newborn session…I almost could not handle just how adorable she is!  Her sparkling blue eyes, her sweet smile, oh my goodness! Check out some images from her 3 month session!
