Jenna | Van Wert Children's Photographer

Jenna has always been willing to be my model when it comes to photo sessions!  Recently she asked to have some photos taken in Ft Wayne.  Of course, she picked one of the most bitter cold Saturdays for her mini session....but I went with it since she was so excited.  She picked out her own clothes and accessories, we scoped out some locations, and she posed like a pro.   I can't get over how grown up she looks in these.....but I love seeing a glimpse of who she is going to become!

Lily & Lyla | Van Wert Children's Photographer

I love photographing Miss Lily!  She has the most fun personality and is quite the little fashionista!  For this session, we met at her Grandparent's house.  They had recently sold it and were getting ready to move to a new house, so we took the opportunity to take some photos in "Lily's room" upstairs.  Lily played dress up for me, did lots of posing, and told me lots of fun little stories as I shot photos.  

I also got to meet Lily's new baby sister, Lyla!  She was a little fussy that day, so our photos were limited....but we still managed to sneak in a few cute photos of Miss Lyla!

Bagley Family | Van Wert Family Photography

Meet the Bagley Family.  From November to March each year, this family is part of our "basketball family".  We spend lots of time together in the bleachers at VWHS and celebrating wins after the games.

Meah & Cohen | Van Wert Children's Photographer

Meah & Cohen have been two of my favorite kids to photograph and I am so lucky to have photographed them since they were newborns.  It's been so fun watching them grow!  We met in the fall to photograph Cohen, who had just turned 3.  He has such a fun personality and was all boy as we walked through the woods!!  Of course we had to squeeze in a couple photos of him with his big sister, Meah (who is now a kindergartner!!)!

Bragg Family | Van Wert Family Photographer

I was so excited when the Bragg family asked me to do another family session for them.  I had photographed their whole family a couple years ago and was thrilled to be able to capture family memories for them once again.  They had perfect fall weather for their session - and were full of fun ideas for me!  I truly loved so many images from their session and had a hard time narrowing down my favorites!!

 

Suzuki Family | Van Wert, Ohio Family Photography

The Suzuki family is one of my favorite families to photograph!  I've had the privilege of photographing them several times over the past few years....and each time is just too fun!  We started this session at their home in Rockford and then drove to Van Wert to finish up. 

Taylor just turned 16 and is getting her license any day!  

Ian just turned 14 and will be entering high school next year.

 And then there's Kade!  This little guy just makes me smile.  His mom wanted to schedule their session ASAP because Kade is missing both his front teeth.  Love that toothless smile!!

Sebastian Family | New Haven, Indiana Kids Photography

Whew!  This photo session wore me out!  Avery and Levi are twins who were just getting ready to turn one.  Easton is their big brother who was just turning 3.  (AND...their Mommy is pregnant with #4!)  We had  to use 3 adults, lots of toys, a few pacifier/bottle breaks, and a full container of Cheerios to help us hold their attention during the session....but in the end we got some cute photos of all 3 of them!

Avery - such a girlie girl with the most beautiful blue eyes

 

Levi - so laid back and loves to snuggle

Easton - such a ham and a great big brother

Shay & Riley | Van Wert, OH Children's Photography

I have taken Shay & Riley's photos several times, but they were always fall sessions. This time their Mom wanted to wait until closer to Christmas. She made arrangements for us to shoot at a bed and breakfast in town. I love shooting at new locations....and it was so fun to be able to shoot at the b & b.
