Fort Wayne Firefighters Calenda for LLS

I just finished up one of the most meaningful and influential photography projects.  I was contacted in December of 2015 about the possibility of photographing the firefighters of Fort Wayne for a calendar.  Prior to this project I didn’t know who Doug Schenkel was, what LLS stood for, or really anything about the Fort Wayne […]

Winter Engagement Portraits

Sarah and Cody were recently engaged and I couldn’t be more excited for them!  I’ve known Sarah for at least 7 years and she has been babysitting our kids for at least 6 years.  I was more than thrilled when she asked me to shoot their engagement portraits.  We were hoping to get some snowy […]

Our Family Picture 2015

Each year we do a family picture in the fall for our Christmas cards.  For the past several years my husband has participated in a fundraiser to raise awareness for men’s health called Movember.  This involves shaving his facial hair into a creepy mustache for the entire month of November!  Therefore, it is my personal […]

Family Maternity Portraits

It’s an exciting time when a family is growing.  It is easy to get caught up in busy schedules and the preparation of a new baby.  I try to think back to my 2nd pregnancy and there are many details that are just not there because I was preparing to welcome a new baby, while […]

Portraits of Brothers

I’ve taken these boys’ pictures since the oldest was 1, but I have never photographed them all together.  We had two goals during this session, to get pictures of the boys together and to get 1 year individual portraits of the youngest Frazier boy, Colin. Sibling portrait sessions can be chaotic, but they also result […]

Christmas Family Portraits in the Barn

You would never guess by looking at these Christmas family photos that it was raining like crazy all day.  We were forced into the barn for portraits and boy am I glad, because these are some of my favorite large family pictures EVER!  There outfits couldn’t have been anymore perfect for the barn setting.  I […]

Christmas Family Portraits

This family won a gift certificate, and I’m so glad they did!  Their perfect mild day turned into perfect Christmas family portraits.  Formal family portraits outdoors can be tricky sometimes…Soggy ground, heals, crisp white dress, and wind are always a concern, but all of the risk paid off.  Vicki and her family were great to […]

Little Norah

Last weekend I had a fun shoot with 7 week old little Norah (I love the name :).  This little one was stylish, to say the least, with her little red Chucks, her fancy Christmas dress, and precious cream sweater dress.  It is safe to say that we wore her out.  By the end of […]
