Carrie, Ted & Leo

I did this family session at the end of June and forgot to post it on the blog! This summer was so crazy with my internship, assistantship, and photography! But, I can’t deny that it was incredibly fun! I’m actually glad my last semester of taking classes is starting up.

Anyway, I had so much fun with this family session. At first, Leo was a little bit shy, but then we became good friends. haha. He was so cute! I can’t get over his baby blue eyes either.

I think the one below is my favorite…

Brother Sister Love

Tripti is a friend of mine at Purdue. We worked together in the residence halls one summer and have continued getting lunch every so often since then. Her brother is moving out of state for medical school this fall, so she decided to have some photos of them taken for her parents before they split! We roamed around Purdue’s campus for a little while…Here are some of my favorites:

Baby Brighten

This little lady is one of my favorite little ladies!! She is so precious! She was just under 4 months old when we took these photos of her. I know a few of them are similiar, but i just love her facial expressions!!

I’ve been a major blog slacker lately. But, I’ve been keeping myself busy with photo editing and work work work! I proposed (and have almost completed) my master’s project for grad school. Hooray for that!! I’m so excited to have that almost finished and out of the way. That will make the rest of my school days breezy (hopefully). I’m trying not to take on too many extra projects (guilty of that too frequently!). In the mean time, enjoy these photos of Brighten. Hopefully tomorrow will bring more previews!

Babies have such cute little toes!

Meet the Kenney Family…

This session was SO MUCH FUN! Erin and I are in the same master’s program at Purdue and have become really good friends. She mentioned that her parents 30th anniversary was coming up….and we decided to book a session! It was a rainy stormy day but we caught a few hours in between with some beautiful light…

P.S. They are crazy. But, that’s why these pictures rock.

It’s Sunny and Hot

We thought we’d be OK taking photos at 9:30 in the morning…whew! It was definitely HOT HOT HOT, but it was fun. It prepped us for our fun filled humid wedding the following weekend. JC just turned 5! We took these photos a few days before his birthday. Brandon and I used to work with his mom on campus at Purdue, and we had a blast taking their photos! I think the very last few photos were JC’s favorite.

And a few fun series to end with:

In a typical 5 year old fashion…He was off to see a puppy that was on the trail…

Friday Fun

We photographed this beautiful family a couple of weeks ago. We started at their beautiful home and then strolled through Purdue’s campus. It was so fun! Their kids were running around and enjoying the weather, so we paused them every now and then to get some photos. I hope you enjoy! I have so many blog posts coming…

Spring is awesome.

We’ve had some great weather the past few weeks (special thanks to April for being record breakingly warm!). I am finishing up my second semester of grad school (exciting! I only have two actual classes left!). We’re getting ready to move into our OWN house (in a little less than a month!). So, we’ve been busy, and I’ve been blog slacking. I’m still doing as much photography as I can, and I’m really  looking forward to going crazy this summer! Our first 2010 wedding is approaching quickly!! We’re so excited.

We caught a cloudy day this spring and snuck outside between the rain drops to get some photos in front of this BEAUTIFUL tree in this families front yard! How fortunate they are to look outside their window and see this beauty each day it was blooming. They are such an awesome family with great kids! I love photographing kids. They make me smile.

Their youngest little guy is so adorable! He warmed up to me after a little bit.

We ended with some story time with mom…I love these last few (especially in black and white!). If you have a family tradition or something simple that you love to do together, I recommend getting it photographed (professional or snapshot..either way). Those are the images I treasure most from my childhood. And, I hope your family will treasure these in years to come.

And after mom finished the story, the big brother took over…I love getting to see moments like this, and I hope that my family can be as cool!!

Kids Are Cute.

Do other photographers ever experience this when they photograph kids? Anytime we angle our heads or sit differently, kids always copy! I think I have a quite a few photos of kids doing this exact same thing! I love kids. haha.

David, Janae, and Tyler – Family Session

We had a fun winter shoot with some friends of ours. It was a cold, cold day, so we took some inside before we braced the cold.

They have this really pretty wall outside!

Tyler kept looking at Brandon because his camera was making a lot “cool” noises. (He had his camera on High Speed Continuous.)

Tyler was such a good sport too! He wasn’t feeling the best and didn’t sleep well the night before, but he still had lots of great smiles for us. Oh how I love taking pictures!! I’m hoping we get more snow and I can go out and take some more!!

Photo Christmas Cards

I am planning on adding these (among many others I will design between now and then) as a package option for family photos next season! And, possibly even custom designs…

We’ll see! In the mean time, enjoy a preview this holiday season. I need to start working on OUR Christmas card…
