I love the light at sunset, and sunrise.. though I rarely see that one.

Austin + Marcy: Tri-Cities, Washington Photographer

September 8, 2010

Austin and Marcy. If you ever get the chance to meet these two, or hang out with them. Do it. You won’t regret it. They are THAT awesome. I have been blessed to know them for ten years.. I think? They are the parents to 5 amazing kids. FIVE! How awesome is that. I was so excited to have the chance to shoot them and spend sometime with them. I really should find ways to spend time with them more often.

Alright here is your sneak peek. Thanks for being such great sports and for a fun evening with you guys.

Austin totally adores Marcy. It is so great to watch them interact. I think every couple could take a lesson from them. The two of them were so fun to photograph. It made my job easy. I love the connection these two have. Thanks for hanging out with me and being awesome.

Meet the “O” Family: Tri-Cities, Washington Family Photographer

August 2, 2010

Friday night it was so hot. We are talking 99 degrees at 6:00 at night. I love the heat, and would take that anytime over shooting in the freezing cold. I met up with the O Family on Friday, they are moving out of the area and wanted to get pictures of their oldest before her loose front teeth fell out. And like I have said before I have the best clients ever. I am so blessed!

We started out at the park, and then ended in an Orchard.
I love the interaction in this shot. They are an adorable family!

She wasn’t so sure she wanted kisses from her sister.

I think this is one of my favorite sibling shots. I love the expressions on their sweet faces.She was full of spunk and kept me running. And she is the sweetest almost 7 year old ever. And a fabulous big sister.And a final shot with some yummy sun flare!Enjoy your sneak peek! I can’t wait to show them all to you. Thank you so much for such a great shoot!

Mowrey Family: Tri-Cities, Washington Family Photographer

April 12, 2010

The Mowrey’s. I love this family. And I don’t say that about all families.

When we moved to Indy, so did they, just days apart. And we became instant friends. They are one of those families that you have to love. And their kids are about the cutest kids ever! Who wouldn’t love a family that keeps you laughing all of the time.

For their shoot we started at the Conseco Field House where the Pacers play!! GO PACERS! Alan works there and we figured it was a great place to start. It was cold. There was still snow on the ground, but they worked it.

IMG_7810 web Sometimes when you are hanging out you have to bust a move. And they can! IMG_7842 web I love moments like these. I believe all couples need them, even years after they were married. I love peeking into their love. IMG_8480 web I believe that the almost kiss is better than the kiss. IMG_8485 web Can you see her feet? That girl was flying and giggling the whole time! IMG_8856 web And the kids.

See, really, really, really cute.
IMG_8258 web IMG_8188 web IMG_8032 web IMG_8105 web Thanks for hanging out with me one more time before we moved. It was fun and your family is adorable!!

Chris and Susan: Indianapolis, Indiana Family Photographer

November 20, 2009

I met with Chris and Susan and their lovely girls on a chilly Saturday. The wind was blowing. The clouds were threatening rain and I have to admit I was a little nervous we were going to be rained out. But thankfully the weather held out and they don’t look the least big cold! We had a fabulous shoot. Chris and Susan were adorable together. And their girls made me wish I had a sister close to my age.

Check out Chris and Susan’s eyes. Jealous. They are a gorgeous couple.

The Norton’s: Indianapolis, IN Family Photographer

October 19, 2009

The Norton’s were such a fun family to shoot. They had a fun energy and were so happy. Honestly watching their four kids interact so great together was one of my favorite parts of the day. They were kind and sweet to each other and that made for a fabulous shoot! The parents adore each other.
