More and more professionals like dentists, chiropractors, attorneys, and real estate agents are using their image to market their company and/or practice. There are many benefits to using portraits in your marketing campaign, however, if not done right portraits can give your business a bad “image”. I recently did a business portrait session for my […]
I have been wanting to update my head shot for a while now. I was having a decent hair day and liked my new spring sweater so I convinced my husband to take a couple minutes out of his day to snap a couple new professional head shots. Another reason I wanted a new professional […]
I was recently asked to take some environmental portraits to help raise awareness about a wonderful fundraiser. It amazes me the amount of funds and heightened awareness that is brought to situations, businesses, or a cause when a few highly influential men and women get together! I had the privilege of photographing Co-chairman, Mr. Don […]
My other passion besides photography is graphic design. Every time I send out invitations for an event I get to combine my love for photography and graphics. My son turns 3 on April 7th! We are fortunate enough to still have many of our grandparents (our children’s great grandparents) with us, so our birthday parties […]

Old portraits have always fascinated me…and there is a charm that comes from the tattered edges of an old portrait that gives it a rustic old feel. Heck these days people spend countless hours and use all sorts of tools and techniques to beat up furniture to achieve a rustic appearance. Home decor and art […]
Newborn pictures are probably one of my favorite portrait sessions. However, they are the most unpredictable because you are at the mercy of the baby. There is a lot of adjusting that goes on in the first month a newborn is home. Getting dressed and keeping up with laundry become difficult; leaving the house becomes […]
A beautiful location and experienced photographer can all be ruined by an outfit choice. That is why I discuss what theme or feel the family envisions for their family portraits before the photo session. After having this conversation I can pick out a suitable location in the Columbia City or Ft. Wayne area and bring […]
Newborn sessions are some of the most unpredictable photo sessions. You are at the mercy of the baby and the sooner you accept that, the better :). I plan for 2 hours for every newborn session. There are very important steps that parents can do to ensure a smooth newborn photo shoot. To the Parents […]
