I have to confess I really miss living in Indianapolis, I miss the city. I loved my life their, and I loved the shopping and just the city. Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend I am there. But then I open them and I remember I moved back home.. a place I love. But I left a big chunk of my heart in Fishers, Indiana. Especially at the mall. :)
When I was contacted about going to Seattle for a couple of shoots I jumped at the chance. A city, and some serious shopping. Yes please. I grabbed my friend Sonja and we were off to shop, eat lots of Panang Curry at different Thai restaurants and just have fun. I hadn’t shot in Seattle for clients before and I was praying that our weather would behave, it is Seattle after all. It snowed the day I got there. I was a little nervous. But I woke up the next morning to brilliant blue skies, and you could see the Cascades and the Olympic Mountains, a total treat!
I met up with the “L” Family for their family session. It was chilly, but they were ready for the cold.

We took some of their pictures down on the beach. I have decided I want my family pictures on a beach next year.. on the ocean. That sounds like heaven.
I absolutely adore this family. They have the four most beautiful girls and they were so sweet and kind. I was completely impressed by them.
Angela and Bevin. You two radiate your love. Your girls have wonderful examples.



Thank you for letting me capture your family in gorgeous Seattle! And thank you for giving me a good reason for a shopping trip! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting your family and capturing you.

I have the most amazing clients! I know I say it all the time but my clients are hands down the best people ever!
You might remember this wedding from New Year’s Eve 2010. I had the opportunity to shoot all of Bernadette’s Family on the day the baptized their new baby boy. One thing I love about this family is they treated me like I was part of their family. They welcome me with open arms and it is so fun. My clients become my friends, and I am so very blessed to work with the people that I do.
To start with these two were married many moons ago. Aren’t they adorable.
They had six children together. They are hilarious and super fun!
So far four of their kids have gotten married, to wonderful people, bringing them to ten children. Lucky!
And their children and their spouses have brought in many more children. I love to see what two people started, such a beautiful family.

Thank you for spending an afternoon with me in the crazy Tri-City weather. The winds calmed just for their pictures. Prayers were answered.
I am so excited to see your family grow and expand. Thank you for allowing me to capture your memories.

It’s always fun to shoot engagement sessions. And this one was particularly fun. I was super excited to shoot Ben+Andrea. Ben is from Pomeroy.. (my hometown) and I was super excited to hang out with him and his super awesome fiancé Andrea.
Andrea had her hair and makeup done by Eden Salon and Day Spa, they did a great job, and Andrea looked stunning! The weather ended up being questionable. It was windy and cloudy but we made the best of it. And Ben and Andrea were troopers through it all.
We started in the beautiful fall leaves.
And then we found a beautiful meadow where we captured some great moments!
Ben and Andrea have such a great love. I loved watching them giggle and have fun together.
Ben and Andrea you two are such a great match!



Thank you so much for spending an afternoon with me. I am so excited to shoot your wedding in May!!

Last Saturday I met up with Jennifer and Jake to capture their love in a fabulous engagement session. It was so fun to watch them with their adorable son and get to know them. They have such a great relationship and you can just feel the love between them.
We started with some family pictures.
And then just some of their adorable little man. He ran away from me the whole time. I even fell down into a hole while shooting him. (On a side note I always tell me clients they are responsible for making sure I don’t die. I am anything but graceful and I am sure I will walk in front of a car because I am looking at my clients and not my surroundings.) It was totally funny and it was a joke the rest of the shoot. Thankfully I didn’t hurt my camera.. or myself. But look at how cute their little boy is. I adore him.
Then we took off for some of just Jennifer and Jake.
I love how much fun they have together. And you can just tell how much they adore each other.
Jake proposed to Jennifer at a Central Washington Baseball game that he was playing in. I think that is totally romantic!
This image makes me happy. I love the look and I love that Jake has red shoe laces.

This series makes me super happy. I loved the light coming through and these two just oozed love.
You two are gorgeous! Congratulations on your engagement!
Thank you for hanging out with me and letting my capture your love! I cannot wait for your wedding in June!

I have a special place in my heart for kids with special needs. Always have. And those kids with Down Syndrome touch me even more. And I am so grateful for the families I am able to capture and to watch the interaction. I love watching parents and siblings interact. And watching this family with their daughter and these big brothers made my heart want to burst. I am so blessed to have such amazing clients.
Meet the *P* Family. Look closely at their daughter. I love how her personality shines through.

These brothers are the best any girl could ask for. And I don’t think they could have a cuter sister.
This moment makes my heart melt. I love it.



Thank you for letting me capture your family. It was truly a honor.

Brrr… it’s November, and it’s cold. I am not ready for the cold. But it is making its rapid appearance. Thanksgiving is just three weeks away, which means Christmas is not far off. It’s the season that everyone gets their Christmas Cards ready to send out, and new family pictures.
Meet the “O” Family. I thoroughly enjoyed shooting their family in this beautiful fall setting.
We had beautiful light.
And happy smiling children.
And two parents who are head over heels in love!

Thank you for letting me capture your family!
