Sneak Peek for Miss Fara, 1 day new...

Just few quick ones to share, LOVE this sweet little newborn! And she has a wardrobe just as darling! For those who haven't heard yet, I'm the new exclusive photographer for St. Mary's Hospital for Women & Children. Enjoy :)

Caught My Attention!

Have you ever had a moment where you look at your child or one of your children & turn back around for a double take? Something CAUGHT your attention! I experience that each year with one of my girls, one has grown or changed alot. I usually notice it most when I take their photos or see it as I'm editing.

A few weeks ago, my middle daughter had a school dance that started before I got home from working. It was a casual one held in the school's courtyard outdoors. If you know her at all, she is very laid back & easy going. She always looks good, but doesn't spend hours getting ready. I would have guessed her to brush her hair, change from her school uniform.

I was sitting on the couch when she came home, walked past me & caught my attention! She looked stunning, absolutely beautiful!! She has really grown into a smart,beautiful young lady. Sometimes, you wonder as parent if you are doing a good job. I'm know I've made mistakes along the way, but I have done alot of things right. :) I talked her into letting me drag her down to the studio & capture this moment. It will be one I always remember between the two of us. See what you think...

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"
