Hudson’s First Portrait Session

This was probably the smoothest newborn photo shoot I have ever done!  Little Hudson came into this world about a week early; what a wonderful Christmas gift.  This little peanut was an angel for his first portrait session; mom and dad were so proud.  We were able to get a ton of variety with Hudson…I was even able to sneak my sons Radio Flyer wagon out and use it for the first time in a photo session!  LOVE IT!  I also captured some beautiful lifestyle family portraits with mom and dad.  I hope you enjoy the images as much as I do…these are some of my favorites.  Click here to check out Hudson’s entire newborn portrait shoot.

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 with this family and by the end of the portrait session I felt like I had 11 additional family members.  I was even talking to their kids like they were mine ha!  Click here to View entire family portrait session even some of our photo fails :)…what…don’t act like every one of your family portrait sessions went perfectly.

Our Thankful Tree

It is going to seem ironic that I’m saying this on my photo blog, but I follow very few blogs and the few that I follow rarely make me take action or even hold my interest long enough to get to the end of each post with the exception of one, Jones Design Company.  This is my favorite resource for all thing crafty, home decoration ideas, normal frustrating mom things, and much more.  I just recently came across a post, The Thankful Tree, and thought I would share.  This post inspired me to take action.

This can be a stressful, busy time for our family.  Our Thankful Tree helps everyone (my husband and I) slow down and take a moment to really think about what really matters.  My children are young (2 and 4) so what is important to them (tractors, ponies, trains etc…) will become great memories when we look back on these tags several years from now.  However, mine and my husband’s tags help us appreciate each other more. The Thankful Tree is a way to lighten the mood after a tense day!

I wanted to get it up and going, but I still plan to add glitter to the branches.   Once this is done I will retake the photo during daylight hours to show you the finished tree.

Did you get to the end of this post!? pheeeewwwww I’m one step closer to being a better blogger 🙂

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 was barely 8 months old.  We replicated the position of the grandkids and shot a modern day version of the much older grandkids.  Andrea plans on ordering prints for her mother to replace the dated one’s she currently has for Christmas.  What a great idea!  The kids did great and it is amazing to see how each child has changed and grown.

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 you enjoy your fall family portraits.
