My silly little girl...she is so girly and adorable and I LOVE to hear her squeaky little voice and her infectious little giggles. I couldn't ask for a sweeter little princess! Ok, so some days she's more of a drama queen than a princess...but still adorable! I can't believe she's FIVE now, and she'll be starting school in just a few short months!

I met up with Jessi and Mike on Sunday afternoon. We had planned to walk around Bridgeton and take photos in DIFFERENT places...but the weather had different plans for us! It was super sunny (not great for lighting at 2 pm) and WINDY, so we adjusted our plans a little and stayed inside the covered bridge the whole time!


Spring is officially here and there is some GREEN in my yard! Pregnancy always seems to make time drag on, especially in the winter, so I'm SO excited that winter is finally over! Just 8 weeks to go until I get to meet my newest little boy! Anyway, here are a few shots I took in my backyard yesterday. Enjoy!
Spring is coming! This has been such a long and cold winter, I can't wait to get outside! Don't forget, I'm booking spring mini sessions for April 2! The cost is $175 for a 45-minute session, 15-20 edited images on DVD (with printing rights) and a softcover photo book. This is a great deal if you just want a few spring photos but don't need a full session! Contact me soon if you're wanting to schedule!
And because I hate to post without a photo, here's one from last spring that I love!
The title pretty much says it all...life is always interesting around here lately! Yucky weather, grumpy kids and pregnancy hormones have all contributed to me being in a little bit of a rut lately. So Monday I took out the camera (which, sadly, hasn't been out much lately) and spent the day documenting the cute little moments I don't want to forget. I'll share more of Abbie and Joey later, but for now here are some of my favorite shots of Jack. He just turned two in January and well, he's VERY two! Full of energy, silly, stubborn, curious, and SO adorable.
I am SO ready for spring! We're in the middle of a major ice storm here in Indiana and while I totally appreciate the beauty of it, it's COLD and scary. I'm perfectly happy to just stay home and relax, I'm just hoping our power doesn't go out. I headed outside yesterday morning to take a few photos before it got really slick...now I won't even try to go down our porch steps, I'm afraid I'll fall and hurt the baby. Oh, and speaking of the baby...we found out a couple of weeks ago we're having another BOY! Jonah Michael should be born sometime in the middle of May, so if you're wanting a spring session, let me know and I'll do as many as I can in April! I'm planning a day of mini sessions on April 2nd. These sessions will be the same as the ones I did in the fall, $175 for a 45-minute session with a softcover photo book and 15-20 fully edited images on DVD. The sessions will be at a Terre Haute park, not sure which one yet. I may do one park in the morning and another in the afternoon. If the 2nd fills up I may schedule a few on the 3rd as well.
Little Miss Anna is one of the cutest little baby girls ever! I loved her wild hair and the adorable hats and headbands her mommy had ready for the session. These are the first two I've edited and I think she looks beautiful!
My little girl is (almost) FIVE!!! Where in the world has the time gone??? A few days ago I spent some time clearing old videos off my computer (after making triple sure they were backed up on DVD) and I was just amazed at how much she's changed in the last couple of years. She'll be starting kindergarten later this year and she is SO excited about it!
The Cooney family isn't all together very often so they wanted to make sure to get some family photos while they were all together for Christmas. They had recently remodeled their attached garage into living space, so we had a nice open area with plenty of natural light to work with, even on a dreary day. To see more photos from this session, click

I was so excited that I caught this moment...I wasn't finished positioning them yet, but Daniel gave his mom and sister and big squeeze and they all looked so happy!
These are the three oldest cousins...aren't they all beautiful? I can't wait to do their senior photos in a few years!
I can't believe my little man is almost 2! I'm hoping for a little warm-up after the first of the year so I can take him out for a photo shoot, but until then, here are a couple recent shots of him. Isn't he so cute?!?! I'm a little sad about him growing up so quick, but I'm SO excited to see what an awesome big brother he's going to be when baby #4 is born in May! He loves babies so much...whenever he sees one, he goes "BABY!!! BABY!!!!", then tips his head over to the side and says "awwwww....."

A couple of months ago, I decided we needed a new picture of my family since Jack wasn't even born yet the last time we took one, and I just realized that I forgot to share it here! So this is my family....my parents, my sister and her family, my brother and his family, and me and my family. This is one of maybe 10...I used the tripod and timer and hoped for the best. I think this is the first one I've ever gotten of the whole group that I didn't have to do head swaps, so I was excited about that.

This is my beautiful niece Erin (my sister's daughter)

This is my sister and her husband.

This is my brother's son Eli. I've been trying for YEARS to get a picture of him actually looking at the camera and smiling, so his mom and I were both THRILLED with this shot.

This is my brother and his wife.

This is my brother's daughter Charity.

This is my brother's youngest son, Luke. He's so cute!
This is my brother's son Jake. I didn't even realize how grown up he's starting to look until I saw this picture.
This is my sister's son Ryan. My kids adore him and Jack calls him RyRy...it's the cutest thing!
I wanted to get some of my parents by themselves too, but my dad started feeling bad in the middle of the shoot, so it didn't get done. Here is a
link to the photos of them from last year.
