Family {G/B} - Elkhart Indiana Family Photographer

These kids are super models. So gorgeous, so much fun. This family was referred by a previous client, which I always love. So excited to see more of them!

This is the second time I've had the privelage of photographing this gorgeous family, and this time they brought along the husband's side (last time it was the wife's). I love shooting extended family groups, it makes for some fun creative options! This is a family full of beautiful, fabulous people, and it was a pleasure working with them.

Family {H} ~ 1 year birthday!

This sweet little guy just turned 1, and not only is he already walking, but he is RUNNING. Like most toddlers, he wanted to move, move, move, but we managed to get a few shots of him in action.

I love photographing large families comprised of generations of smaller families. And this beloved family was no exception. We have Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop, their 11 kids + 2 spouses, and 6 beautiful grandchildren. They also happen to be very close friends of mine:

Family {B}

This was a BIG, FUN family to take pictures of. It was 3 generations: Grandma and Grandpa, their 3 lovely daughters, and THEIR families. Lately I've been fascinated with my own family history, and I think these photos will be great to pass down through the generations of this family.

Snow Day!

We just had a snow storm. Not a huge one, but big enough for them to cancel school. We got about 9 inches of snow over 2 days, but since the storm was preceded by a day of rain, everything was coated with ice, which obviously makes for dangerous driving conditions. Here is a teeny little snippet of our snow day yesterday. Two of my favorite things: my adorable son who loves to eat snow, and a caramel latte that I made myself (I used to work at a coffee shop, and I must say, I make a mean caramel latte!)

Family {K} - adoption day!

What a beautiful family! These are some of the most amazing people I've ever known. This morning they adopted their 7th and 8th children (in addition to 3 biological, and countless others who call them "mom and dad" just because they're so good at it). Mr. K is our pastor, and Mrs. K is a perfect pastor's wife to him. They are living out the lives God has called them to like not many people do. They are the ones who inspired us to become foster parents, and it has been life-changing for us. This was not a full session, they just asked me to take a quick shot of them post-adoption.  Thanks for sharing your hearts and your home, and the love of Jesus, with so many who need it.

This amazing couple has been blessed with 6 kids. SIX KIDS! I have 5 and I think my life is crazy. Wanna know what's even more crazy? They have been married 16 years, and all 6 kids share the same mom and dad. That's pretty much unheard of these days. What a privilege it was to capture this family on camera. It never ceases to amaze me that kids in the same family, coming from the same gene pool, can end up with so very different personalities. I love it.

I am so happy with how these turned out. We went to my favorite park, which has the perfect mix-up of scenic backgrounds - railroad tracks, water, trees. This was a fun, creative group of people who were willing to try some unique pose. The fall colors are amazing right now, and helped make for some beautiful photographs.
