We were all so excited to get out of the house yesterday and play. Here are some cute snapshots of my friend Jamie’s girls. They were so sweet to share their water balloons and scooters with my girls. Of course the highlight was cruising on the golf cart

Thanks Jamie!

L.O.V.E these photographs…..

Kevin and Kristen were married Jan 2009 and I was there to capture all those moments for them as well. Their wedding was the first wedding I photographed. Shortly thereafter Kristen and Kevin found out they would be having a baby. Kristen is my sister-in-law Lisa’s sister…got that? lol.

I had a million baby things and clothes that I was about to take to a garage sale, but soon as they found out they were expecting a girl all my strollers, car-seat, toys and about 15 diaper boxes full of clothes were put to great use!

Maylen actually has on one of Reagan’s outfits in the photos below.

Thanks KK for letting me take pictures of your BEAUTIFUL family!

We have been battling the flu around here for the last 4 days. I have been in the house with the girls for the last 6 days (5 of those were my days off). As I sit here in peace and quiet or “peas and corn” as my 3 year old Presley said it tonight, I am so thankful for my girls. Yes they have done their share of driving me completely without at doubt crazy these last few days, but I still LOVE them.

Now that we all have our Tamiflu in our systems I’m hoping for a better tomorrow.

It’s moments like these below that I realize how blessed I am and thankful I am for the joys that have been put into my life. I’m thankful that my girls are able to walk, run, climb, ride, draw, talk, laugh, smile, giggle, eat, play, giggle again, cry, love, live and even be stinkers.

It’s moments like these below that I have to remind myself to slow down and remember they’re a child and they were given to me to give them the best love and care that I am capable of.

It’s moments like these below that make me smile because I was there to capture all of these moments.

I was there to watch them draw, jump, smile, giggle, ride, run, sleep, kiss boo-boo’s, and all the wonderful things they do.

It’s moments like these that I will cherish and always remind myself to look back upon when I’m having a UGH moment because we have been stuck in our house sick for 6 days.

It’s moments like these that shows me just how BEAUTIFUL you both are and how much I LOVE YOU both.

Presley & Reagan

Thank you so much for all the joy you have brought to my life.

Cute lil’ Girl {Mishawaka Childrens Photographer}

I photographed this family awhile back. Their little girl had a plan of her own that day. She didn’t want mommy or daddy to hold her or help her in anyway.

Thank you “V” family!

BIG LEAVES {Elkhart, Indiana Photographer}

I took Presley and Reagan outside last week to play on one of the nicest days we had in quite a while. We live on a dead end cul-de-sac so all the leaves congregate right by our home. I had so much fun watching these two play. Reagan is talking like crazy and her favorite word lately is “pumpkin.” A few of our neighbors have the inflatable halloween decorations and so the girls love to watch them at night out of Reagan’s window. Once we were in the circle playing Reagan squatted down and told Presley and myself to “shhh” and pointed to the pumpkins across the way. I’m not sure if she thinks they can hear us or not, but it was so sweet. The girls took turns finding extremely large leaves and acorns. Enjoy these little snap shots of our girls enjoying themselves together.

Girls I love you both so much.

Miss M {Elkhart Newborn Photography}

I photographed Miss M and couldn’t help but edit all her photos that night. I was sooooo in AWE of her sweetness. She is just precious congratulations to A&A.

To anyone that does read my blog I have been super busy lately with weddings, family shoots and work. I am going to try really hard to make an effort to spend more time here. I will most likely blog a bunch in a row to play a little catch-up.

Beach Engagement / Elkhart Wedding Photographer

ali — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 04:33:03 +0000

I met Mandy through my sister-in-law Megan quite a few years ago. Mandy reminded me how at the time she met me I seemed so much “older” than her and all their friends. My husbands youngest brother Josh was in their class and so a college couple seems “old” when your only in 8th grade. Well now the time has passed and I will be shooting Mandy and Brett’s wedding this October. Brett proposed to Mandy up at Silver Beach so we thought it was only appropriate to shoot their engagement session on the beach. Thanks for making my job fun guys!

Family Fun at the Lake / Elkhart Family Photographer

Ahh the beauty of the lake. I grew up many of my summers on the lake. We would move up soon as school was out and move back right before school would start. A few Friday’s ago we went up to the lake to hang out with our Dad. I was bummed that Jeremy didn’t get to come along it was our girls first time tubing. Here are some of my favorite images from that day and the fun times we had. Thanks Dad we love you and had an awesome time.
