The clouds formed a heart during the reception! This is why you should hire me as your wedding photographer–I make magic happen! (I may or may not have just taken credit for the random formation of water vapor in the sky…)

Marisa+Ayden+Michelle+Shawn

June 8th, 2010

I met this family on Sunday for a session in City Hall Park. It rained on us for a few minutes but then the skies cleared up again and we continued. Marisa recently celebrated her first birthday and Ayden will be turning 4 later this month. Such an adorable family!

Elise: 10 Months

June 7th, 2010

I met Elise and her family on Thursday afternoon in Cannelton. This is my 3rd time photographing this adorable little girl, too! I took photos of her when she was just 6 days old and again when she was 6 months old. I LOVE this job! =)

Before the shoot, Elise and I played a game where she would tilt her head sideways and I would follow suit. She found it to be so much fun and did it so often that I actually started getting dizzy! LOL Here she is trying to play it during our shoot, too. =)

Callista+Miranda+Adam

June 4th, 2010

Another fun shoot in City Hall Park on Monday morning! This is actually my third shoot with this beautiful little girl. I took some photos of her when she was just 9 days old and again at 6 months. She’s 10 months old now and I was so excited when Miranda contacted me a few weeks ago to discuss doing another session. One of the best things about this job is getting to watch my clients grow up! Callista got hungry early into our shoot so we decided to break for the day and try again on Friday evening.

We took a quick break to try to appease her with a small snack and then tried to continue the session. Calli was not afraid to let me know how she felt about that! =)

We brought out her personalized piggy bank and she cheered up for a little bit!

Angela

June 2nd, 2010

I met up with Angela and her mom, Cyndi, on Monday afternoon. We started out in Vastwood Park and finished up the shoot in downtown Hawesville. Angie looked fabulous all day and Cyndi played assistant, cheerleader & location scout! What a great mom!

I met this adorable family at City Hall Park in Tell City on Sunday morning. Miley was feeling very serious but we still had a lot of fun. Such a cute baby! More images are available in their online gallery.

Miley got a little less than thrilled about having her photo taken so we took a break for a snack.

Isabella

May 31st, 2010

Isabella and I met at Vastwood Park in Hawesville on Saturday. Despite nearly melting in the surprise heat wave hitting the Midwest, I had a lot of fun. Isabella’s sister, Julia, was such a good sport and played assistant for part of the shoot. Thanks, Julia!!! More photos are available in her online gallery.

Isabella is incredibly sweet, fun and looked beautiful all day long so I had a lot of trouble picking a favorite. Having said that, I absolutely love this next one. I mean, come on, Isabella! Are you kidding me!?! Gorgeous!!!!!! =)

Happy Valentine’s Day, Baby Elise!

February 14th, 2010

After Calli’s session and a quick bite to eat, I joined Elise and family in their Tell City home for some more portraits. Despite not taking her nap, yet, Miss Elise was all smiles! She was so much fun to shoot. Apparently, I was about the funniest thing she’d ever seen! =)

Then she discovered my camera and tried to eat it. Either that, or she has already mastered the camera-at-arms-length-self-portrait…=P
