Wedding & Portrait Photographer
I loveeeee these guys. Its been amazing to see them almost every year for the last couple of years!
Their sweet family just keeps growing! This takes me back to amazing weather and beautiful fall sunsets.
I miss it… as its 25 degrees and there is snow on the ground.
Yes. im THAT behind in blogging
Looking forward to seeing these guys again soon. They are all fun, games, and laughs.
When your oldest, and longest best friend asks you for a special session.. you dont say no..
I was GAME for this when it was brought up. Its such a special bond between mother and child. I am so excited I was able to capture these memories. Rory is just the sweetest little boy and its been just amazing to capture all of this milestones
I was so happy I was able to see Lizzy & Jeff for this special moment this summer. They are just over the moon excited with their little one. Claire didn’t like me disturbing her sleep, but it worked out because we got the sweeeeetest crying faces out of that one. I am just so thankful my sweet couples keep me around to capture these memories for them. From their wedding to their maternity pictures, and now newborn photos…. Just so crazy.
Have you ever taken family photos at a mum farm? If you haven’t you need to! Its a must in life.
I love sessions where people incorporate places that mean the most to them. The Hennings own this mum farm, and it has grown to be a beautiful family business! It was awesome to see first hand what they do!
This makes top ten favorite extended family sessions by far!
This sun soaked family session was one of the best summer sessions <3
Although little miss didnt smile so much, her parents were cute enough to make up for that! <3
This was one of my favorites! The sun was PERFECT!
OKAY. Kristy & Ezra are another past couple… and can I just say.. I LOVE that my past wedding couples still come to me for their growing family photos! <3
Loved meeting their sweet new addition. I know it was a HOT night at the beach that night, but the sunset sure put on a show!
Hands down… favorite smash cake. 2020 has been a crappy year but its really pushed my creativity and set the bar high for awesome sessions like this! Jessica & Adam were a past couple of mine and already are celebrating this little chunks first birthday! This sweet baseball themed smash cake was SO fun.
It started to rain about 10 mixtures before we were done with the session, but the sky did some pretty cool things afterward.
I was so excited for this session back in June! I swear they are just the sweetest family ever. Their two boys are so smiley and we had NO shortages in smiles.
This was a nice way to kick off outdoor sessions for sure! <3
Jennifer contacted me wanting family photos in their backyard, and I got all excited! I love when clients want to incorporate their homes and their hard work. And let me tell you. This front & back yard is AMAZING! I give props to Mr Jones over there… I can barley keep a spider plant alive and they are supposed to be “unkill-able” BET.
This is one of my favorite sessions!
This was my second lifestyle newborn session after quarantine, and it was just a breath of fresh air…
It was great to catch up with Sean and meet Katie & Gavin for the first time!
Sweet little Gavin was not having it for the first half of the session but after some food and rocking he was asleep and good to go for the last half!
I truly love lifestyle newborn sessions. Its just so nice to be in a clients home and be where they feel most comfortable.
The first beach session of the year, did not disappoint. AT ALL.
I love this sweet family - it has been a year since I had seen them and I didnt realize how much I missed faces up until this point in quarantine… Matts face is nice and all but I missed other faces!
I just love EVERYTHING about this whole gallery. I could not even narrow down their gallery to less than 400 images, so I knew their blog would be huge as well!
I love this family. SO much! Sarah & David were a past wedding couple, and capturing their little mans milestones makes me feel more honored than anything!
This was such a fun session! Barrett gave me a run for my money in the smiling department. The sun was perfect, this family is just perfect. SO glad I get to continue seeing these guys. <3
I blinked and these kids just grew up and are now almost adults…
Its always great to see this sweet family! This was one of my favorite mini sessions! These greenhouse minis were something I could see myself doing over and over again. I just loved them!
This was just a fun session.. I loved that the kids barley looked at me and just did their thing. It was amazing. <3
OOOOOOOH the Castillo Family… I love them dearly. I have LOVED watching little Nina grow this past year..
Greenhouse Minis were a HUGE hit this year, and im SO going to be doing these again next year! I loved them!
I am just going to leave these here… cause squishy Nina is literally the cutest.
I never thought that my first session back after the world pretty much stopped… would be so. so. SO good. I legit sat in my car and cried after. You truly don’t know how much you miss what you truly love to do, until you cant do it.
The few weeks of not working was rough. I was SO excited that we were able to get this session in. It felt amazing to create art again. And I LOVE this family. LOVE them.
The sun was beautiful, the weather was great. It literally was a perfect way to kick start working again. I have been busy ever since and im grateful. <3
The Reeb family is near and dear to my heart. I got to know Bridget and Tom at all of our mutual Sandy Pines weddings over the last couple of years. They. are. the sweetest!
Bridget and Tom were also our DJ’s for our wedding last May. Everyone had such a good time and complimented me for days on how awesome our DJ’s were! If I could relive that night over and over again I would. <3
I loved finally getting to meet their boys! They have such awesome personalities and they are just like their parents.
Beach sessions are. my. jam. - this was one of the last ones I had last year. The sunlight was the best I have ever seen. The water was super calm. it was just a great night. I am looking forward to getting back to the beach soon!
Back in August… ? I think. I met this wonderful family! They. are. the. cutest! I mean look at those smiles!
I remember this night being SUPER hot, but the sun and the beautiful wildflowers were on POINT.
Coffee creek in Chesterton is my go to location this time of year. Can you blame me?
ONE FOR ONE Gratitude photo sessions...
There are so many people who are sacrificing their own time, and their own health for me and my family. SO MANY.
Things are scary, and there are so many uncertainties, its a weird time. While we are cozy at home, watching Netflix, painting, reading, also staying home as much as possible... These grocery store workers, nurses, doctors, truck drivers, farmworkers, police, first responders, firemen, etc....
they are working every day to provide for US, and our families.
Im thinking of the nurses, and doctors that may not even be seeing their families to keep them safe. They are exposed every day.. The grocery store workers who are working round the clock to sanitize, and stock the shelves.
Those truck drivers, who have been away from their families, for weeks, and have been driving for days.
There needs to be a light, there needs to be something to look forward to..
All family sessions booked between now and April 19th, will purchase an additional photo session for an essential front line worker of your choice and their family.
Please email loryn.eaton@yahoo.com for more information.
*Photo sessions will take place when the physical social distancing limitations are lifted.
Gianna made her way into this world while I was in California helping my sister move back home. Her parents Jenna & Andy started off as clients, but quickly become great friends. Jenna is my hair stylist and even did my hair for my wedding. I was so excited that they had me do these pictures for them.
Gianna is SO photogenic and that head of hair is to die for. Her parents are just so in love with her. I absolutely loved all of their images that I had NO chill when posting sneaks. I just knew I had to blog their session. <3
