Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Trish had a fantastic idea for Kaylyn’s 3rd birthday pictures! Wearing her mommy’s wedding dress! Like any little girl, playing dress up is the highlight of the day. K’s eyes LIT up when she saw her mom’s wedding dress. This was one of my favorite sessions with the Sim’s family!
Kate contacted me a few months ago, and we instantly clicked! She sent a couple of location ideas and I was game for ALL of them! The first session we tried to have it rained, our rescheduled date wasn’t looking so hot either… As it literally snowed. In April. It was insane. But these love birds cuddled up and enjoyed their session! <3
Danielle & Jennifer were my last couple of 2018, and they really did not disappoint. After talking to Jennifer so many times closer to the wedding, I felt so incredibly close to them. I cant tell you how many times I would start to tear up during their ceremony. I don’t think I have ever seen two people more perfect for each other. I say this all the time, but I really mean it with them. These two ladies really have my heart. I wish them all the happiness and love in the world. It was so hard to pick the images for this blog post. SO many images.
I met Cortney and Dave in December for my Christmas mini sessions. Cortney then reached out for a fresh 48 AND lifestyle session. I was beyond thrilled. Seeing as I don’t get a lot of Fresh 48 sessions I was so excited. A week later, I was welcomed into their home for their lifestyle newborn session. I hope to see this beautiful family of 3 soon!
Northwest Indiana can be BITTERLY COLD in the winter months. What keeps me going? Lifestyle sessions. Family lifestyle sessions, couples lifestyle sessions, any kind of lifestyle sessions.
I loved getting to meet this beautiful family of four. We danced to 24K Magic, and Girls Like You. Jumped off the counter tops into dad’s arms, jumped and played on mom and dad’s bed, and snuggled in the living room with playdough. It was the best morning.
Lifestyle sessions are my favorite. <3
I absolutely adore when my past wedding couples. I LOVE when I get to hear from them from time to time. I love it even more when they call me and say they got a puppy and want pictures with their new puppy. Survey sayyyysss. ILL BE THERE! I love dogs. I love small puppies, big puppies, and old puppies.
Disclaimer. If you have a “old dog" its still a puppy… it will always be a puppy to me.
I loved everything about this session <3 <3
Seeing the wedding photos, I took around their home just made my heart so happy.
I LOVE when a couple contacts me and says "we want to just cuddle in our home and have you document it. Is that something you do"? UM HECK YA! I already love you!
Being in your own home, you are more relaxed and its a familiar area. It makes things SO much easier.
These two were so fun. We just talked and laughed. Jim made fun of us for wanting to sit on the floor and drink coffee. It was just a fun morning <3

When your best friend gets married, you have to double as a bridesmaid AND a photographer. So *some* of these photos are compliments of my second shooter Liz. If I'm in the photo, Liz took it! HAHA! I can't tell you how many times I cried that day. Knowing my best friend was marrying the man of her dreams, at the most beautiful venue. I still tear up thinking about it. I have known Ashlee since high school, so it was for sure special to be able to stand up with her, AND photograph her wedding. I don't think I'll be able to do that again though!
OH my gosh. The first wedding of 2017 was a struggle. It was cold, I had the flu, and lets be real my nerves were through the roof. I was worried with it being a 10 hour wedding I wouldn't make it. I had a fever of 100.3 and no motivation. That being said, these are THE BEST WEDDING PHOTOS I HAVE EVER TAKEN! So there's that. I loved, loved, loved everything about Bree and Beau's day. They both looked fantastic, and their family accepted Liz and I with no problem. The day was a breeze, flu and all. I am so excited I was their wedding photographer and could not have asked for a better day. Well I guess I could have dealt without the flu, but you know, it worked!!
When your best friend is getting married, you go to Chicago for the day. My birthday this year was spent taking Ashlee & Donald's engagement photos in Chicago. Let me tell you, it was a bright beautiful day with lots of giggles from Ashlee and I and complaints from Donald. Photographing your best friend always comes with perks like when you tell them to stand in the middle of a crowded side walk, she just says OK, and doesn't give you a funny look. We spent 4 hours taking ubers and walking around the city. It for sure was one of the best birthdays I have had in a long time. :)
Here in the polar vortex known as Northwest Indiana, it is too cold for outdoor sessions. What does one do when its too cold to be outside? We stay inside, and have a boudoir session! Winter specials are taking place here at Loryn Eaton Photography. SO here is your chance to get a head start on those Valentine's day gifts or even just something for yourself after a long year! Don't wait for these sessions. I hear it everyday, "I will do one after I lose 10 pounds" No! Don't wait. You are perfect just the way you are :) These sessions are great for that!

Another one of my favorites! I am so excited for Harper to have a baby sister! Im sure she would have not accepted the idea of a brother. She is all into her soon to be sister. The last time I saw these three we were in downtown Valpo around Father's Day! I am so happy they stuck with me. I worked for every smile Miss Harper gave me. She is such a sweet heart. I cant wait to see her pose with her new sister!!
Oh, the Roger's family....
I cant even tell you how much I loved meeting this family. Their three little's are about the cutest sisters I have ever met. So many cuddles were taking place that night. I love the "smiley" photos, but I love those images where parents are interacting with their kids. Especially when they are *this* little.
I have a bad habit of, if you put something in my purse, like a hairbrush, I will forget its in there. That night I ran off with the babies hairbrush... oops.
I do love my wedding photography, but my families are my heart.
Right in the first couple days, I had one of my most favorite sessions to date! A little two year old who loved trains! It was an indoor lifestyle session in their home. Everything was perfect! Down to the sun shinning through the amazing windows! I will for sure geek out if I come to your house for your lifestyle session and see TONS of light streaming in through beautiful, big windows!
Okay but enough about the light, even thought it was amazing.
Landon started off shy like any normal 2 year old boy who is not used to playing with this crazy lady putting a camera in his face. He came around after a little bit, I even got a smile or two! :)
These are some of my favorite images!
Oh this wedding. Lynsey & Chris's wedding was absolutely beautiful! The decorations were on point, the location and venue were beyond perfect, and the love between these two was even more amazing. Your bridesmaids were so fun to work with and so nice! These pictures though! Lets just focus on the beautiful images from Lynsey & Chris's wedding day!
