Turning 1! {CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHER Evansville, Indiana}

Just few quick ones I got to work on, can't wait to finish all of them!! Turning one, so hard to believe a year has flown by already!! I have had such fun capturing the big ONE year celebration for several babies past few weeks! Love getting to watch them grow & change!!

This little sweetie is just as beautiful as her big sister!! Love her head full of long, curly hair & those big eyes, WOW!!! It wouldn't matter where we did her pictures!! She was soooo good in the high heat too! We did wear her out by the end of the session with outfit changes & our not so funny anymore songs & faces, lol! She was asleep right after they left : ) Special THANKS to her big sister for being an awesome helper & model!

Hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them!!

Stylin' Siblings... {EVANSVILLE, IN Child Photographer}

ADORABLE...seriously, I know I think all kids are! But, this pair was from the minute they climbed out of their car. Literally, from head to toe & they were so much fun in front of the camera. I think Mom & Grandma were having lots of fun just watching them surprise us! They had all kinds of their own poses, funny faces and hugs for each other! (They might have their days of not getting along but you'd have a hard time convincing me)

Can you say HOT!! It was so hot outside, but that didn't slow us down one bit. They were such good sports about it and thought it was playtime! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did...

LIFE!

LIFE...we never know what it is going to throw our way! It definitely gives us ups, downs, twists & turns,stop signs, yields, rollercoasters..just to name a few. I love life & usually take whatever comes my way. I am a strong person, a woman, photographer and most importantly mother and wife!

Sometimes something happens that just knocks us off our feet! That is exactly what happened to me recently. I don't want to talk about it much or share any specific details and not too many people other than those close to me really know what happened. Let's just say that what happened I never saw coming and it hit like a freight train or the plane that crashed into the World Trade Center. It has changed my life forever, my children's and Lucas' besides a few others close to us. I believe good is in everything & that things do happen for a reason. We can't always understand it at the time but will see it more clearly later on looking back. I believe that with this situation...and time does heal! It has been one month ago, which I can't believe in some ways. In others, time has moved at turtle pace.

I love LIFE and will continue to go with whatever it throws my way...just had to pick myself back up and get moving again. This time just took little longer. With that said, I have tons of work I have been catching up on & still working on! Thanks to everyone for their kindness, understanding & patience through this. If I haven't contacted you about something you are waiting on, I will be soon. I'm working in order! Again, Thanks!

Beautiful Senior... {NEWBURGH, IN SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER}

Miss Ashley is stunning! She is just as beautiful on the inside as the outside! Of course, I always enjoy spending time with my seniors for lots of reasons...they actually do what I ask them for poses, they have awesome clothes & are usually up for going to all the crazy places I drag them!! Usually on our adventures, we have fun and come up with some inside jokes from something that happened but it is usually more of a "had to be there moment". Well, Ashley and I have quite a few stories we could tell from this session, lol! Let's just say we met some interesting people along the way, left few things behind & had to go back for them, and a green mountain bike that didn't match anything we were doing! BUT, none of this stopped us from rockin' some great shots of her! Hope you enjoy : )

Kyle {NEWBURGH, IN SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER}

Meet Kyle... I don't have to say much, just take a look at his pics! Such a cutie! He was so easy going, relaxed & funny...which is a good thing. For senior sessions, we go anywhere & everywhere that I can find that has old, rusty, worn out looking buildings! I LOVE it!! I have been a fan way before being a photographer...my dream job is/was to Save old buildings & houses from being torn down. Plus, I love antiques...my house is full of them. I have collected since I was about 19 or so.. so quite a few years,lol. Now, I get to incorporate that love into my photography : )

Anyway, half the fun of going to places is the stuff that happens along the way... even weird guys checking on us to see if we are making a meth lab! No, for the record we were not!!! So, lots of fun & cute guy makes for great pics! Enjoy : )



Love the attitude of this HS Senior... his new tattoo reads "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me Phil 4:13"

MY GIRLS... {EVANSVILLE, IN CHILD PHOTOGRAPHER}

My three girls... I'm sure you are all familiar with them by now. For Spring Break, I promised them some quality time with me.. so we spent an entire day at the City Museum in St. Louis with my sister and her kids. We had such a great time, a place for all ages & lots to do, especially on a rainy, sleeting, cold day.. can you believe that? We planned to go on Friday, all week awesome weather and as we are heading out the snow/sleet started. lol! We made the most of it & didn't let it slow us down one bit : ) Well, one of the other things the girls asked to do,have me shoot some pics of them. So here they are... all wearing their own clothes, showing their own styles! And yes, they are each very different...I LOVE them more for it! Hope you enjoy them...

Whitney {EVANSVILLE, IN SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER}

Sometimes as a photographer, I have to shoot for myself... What I mean by this is that I have an idea, or an outfit,a prop, or maybe all of the above! lol! I go just to play or try out new things. It is good for my soul... it increases my creativity, makes me more inspired. If I just shoot for clients all the time, then I could lose who I am as a person. I do have a style, I do have things that are "me" in every picture I take. SO.. here are few of my oldest daughter, Whitney that were taken really for me, as a photographer. The perk, I get to have amazing pictures of my beautiful daughter!

Whitney,my oldest daughter had alot of fun hanging out & playing in fun clothes! We were joined by my good friend & amazing photographer, Kim Hinkle! If you are in Southern Illinois & need a photographer, look her up!
