The joining of Colleen & Brian’s two families was a long-awaited and joyous occasion. Set at the gorgeous Quincy Cellars on a perfect, windy day, it was a loving and crazy day full of tons of family, the Kentucky Derby, and lots of joy. Thanks for choosing me and Jessica to photograph your wedding! Here are some of my favorite moments.

Anna and her husband Ryan and two gorgeous daughters, Audrey & Caroline were an absolute joy to photograph. Caroline had so much energy and was all about every goofy thing I asked her to do, and was great at capturing her little sister’s attention. It was so fun to finally meet this family and capture these beautiful memories!

I got this season started out right with some of my favorite settings and some beautiful families. I apologize for the pictures being sort of jumbled, I was having trouble with wordpress… new website is coming soon so I hope to get my blogging more streamlined.

Enjoy and contact me for family sessions!

I have the honor of photographing this little girl every month for her first year. Sofie’s story is so unique. She is the blessed little baby who has her loving adoptive parents, Kristie & Rob who adopted her in November at birth. And she has the honor of knowing her birth mother & father (Rhi & Rob) interact with her on a regular basis. For more about their beautiful story, check out Kristie’s blog here.

Here are a few from Sofie’s newborn family session at the hospital, and then a few from month 2. We missed month one but caught up with some beautiful photographs in January. Here’s the litte sweetheart! Sofie you are so blessed with so many who love you!

Kara emailed me and asked if there was any way I could fit in a quick family session as her mom, stepdad and brother were in town for a few short days from Colorado! Kara and her husband Mark have two children, Zoe & Max who are just adorable, and so we wanted to get some of the four of them alone as well. It was a fun session and here’s some of my favorites!

incredible fall season!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I will not be taking any more clients for fall sessions due to my high workload right now and need of a personal rest period over the holidays. If you need family pictures and want to wait for the snow, I’ll hopefully begin booking sessions again in January! Thanks so much for all my amazing amazing clients this year!!!

Here’s a few favorites from the last couple weeks!

Had a blast getting to photograph these two wonderful children, Carter who’s 6 & Aubrey, who’s 3. They kept me hopping and we got some adorable pictures in the process. It was a beautiful day, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Check out some of my favorites below

Can you guess what was happening here to make them laugh so beautifully? Yep, you got it… little angel Aubrey was repeating “poop” over and over.

Who doesn’t love throwing leaves in the air??

My beautiful daughter is 1.5 years old! I am so blessed by her. She doesn’t get as many pictures as she should!!! So I dragged her and my hubby and camera out to the park and snapped some pictures of my own beauty. Here’s just a few favorites.

I love you so much my darling Chloe!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry, I’ve been a little quiet for a week or two. But tonight I had an adorable photo shoot that I cna’t wait to share.

I actually went to high school with Breanna & Gary – I had classes with them and gave speeches at graduation with Gary as we both graduated Valedictorians! I still remember goofing off in my Economics class with Breanna These two are TRUE high school sweethearts. They’ve been together for as long as I can remember – and they are still in love and now have this beautiful little son, Carter! He just turned one and we went out to Shades Beach in Harborcreek to get some cute pictures. It was an overcast day with AMAZING clouds… sooo awesome!

For more information about children & family photography, please don’t hesitate to email me or give me a call at 814-450-9650!

I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous family that just grew a little bigger with the addition of Peyton, a darling little girl that is only about 3 weeks old (2 when the photos were taken). Big sister & brother Cadence & Owen were all smiles and we had a great photo session capturing this precious time. So glad we got to do it! I definitely got a little baby fever while posing darling Peyton!
