Abe & Opal | Van Wert Newborn Photographer

If I had to pick one thing to photograph for the rest of my life, it would be newborn twins.  I have always been a baby lover....and photographing twins is absolutely amazing!  What could be more perfect than two sweet little babies??   Earlier this year, I got to photograph Abe & Opal - newborn twins.  They were absolutely perfect during their whole session....I could have photographed them all day!  Congratulations Dad, Mom and big sisters Cora & Ruby!  

Charley & Aaron | Ossian, Indiana Children's Photographer

Charley and Aaron are another pair of siblings that I have had the privilege to photograph many times over the past few years.   I love doing their photo sessions -  their parents always take the time to make sure the boys' interests at this particular age are incorporated into their photos.  Such a great idea!  This time we celebrated Charley turning 3 and Aaron turning 1...with lots of Thomas and Buzz Lightyear added in!

Steven | 9 months old | Ft Wayne Baby Photographer

This is the third time I have gotten to photograph sweet little Steven - this time for his 9 month portraits.  It's been so fun watching him grow over the past three sessions!  We met at his grandparent's home for some fall portraits and then squeezed in a few Christmas photos in preparation for their Christmas cards at the end of the session.  Steve is never quite sure that he wants to smile for me....but we were able to squeeze out a few little smiles at the end thanks to the help of Mom, Dad, and his grandparents!

Annie & Ellie | Newborn twin photography

I was so excited to find out my cousin, Lori and her husband Joe were going to be having twin girls and offered to take newborn photos for her.  I travelled to their home in Urbana last week when the twins were 2 weeks old to take their photos.  Of course Jenna tagged along with me!!   They are absolutely perfect and so tiny!  Jenna and I were in baby heaven....there was always a baby to hold and we didn't have to share!    I've already informed Lori that I will be back to take photos soon!  I can't wait to see these two sweet baby girls again!

Annika Willow (Annie)

Seriously - does it get any sweeter than this???  ♥

Ellie was wide awake during the first part of the photo session and later fell asleep to cuddle with her sister.

Annie was so sweet and sleepy.  Love how it looks like she has a little grin on her face!

Aaron | Ossian, Indiana baby photography

I have been photographing Aaron's brother Charley since he was 6 months old and was so excited to meet his new baby brother and photograph him as well!!  I met Aaron and his mom, Katie, at their home to photograph Aaron for his 6 month photos.  Aaron was all smiles and so laid back.  He was more than happy to be the center of attention and have his photo taken!!

Krueger Family | Ft Wayne, Indiana Photography

I know I have said it before, but I love when my clients recommend me to a friend.  I would bet that 90%+ of my photography sessions are a result of family, friends and clients sharing with their friends!  There is no greater compliment than having a former client recommend you to one of their friends.

The Krueger's are one of those families...recommended to me by one of my clients.  I met them at their parents' home on a Saturday afternoon to take photos of their 3 month old son Steven.  I also took some fun photos of their new little family of 3.

Steven really wasn't into smiling the day I took his photos....he was just content to lie there and let me snap away!

Simper Family | Van Wert Family Photography

I have taught with Jen for the past 2 years and have heard lots of stories about her family and her three sweet kids, so I was excited when she contacted me and asked me to do some family photos for them. I loved their bright blue and yellow.....fun colors for a summer family photo session.

Aiden | 1 year old

Aiden is ONE!!!! Aiden is my cousin's little boy and I was so excited when she contacted me to do his one year photos. I can't believe he is already one! He has sure changed a lot since I took their family photos in October. Aiden looks so much like his mom did when she was little....and I am in love with his big blue eyes!!


HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY AIDEN!!!





Seriously....look at those eyes! They are even amazing in black and white!!

Aiden & Abbie.....

Alex, Aiden, and Abbie......

I was so excited to try a cake smash session with Aiden. At first he was pretty excited, but you can tell by the photo collage below that he quickly changed his mind and wasn't too sure about the cake.
