UM. All couples that adopt a new puppy NEED a couples session. This was just the best.
Downtown Crown Point was the perfect backdrop for these.
SO CUTE. So adopt a puppy… and then lets have a downtown session!
Puppy kisses star in a lot of these photos. Avert your eyes if you dont want to be blinded by cuteness.
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
McKenzie & Josh were an LEP couple back in 2019! They are very near and dear to my heart. Like the whole Sims’s clan.
When McKenzie reached out to me wanting to take pictures with Josh and their pup. By this time, they have already added a SECOND pup to their family unit. I need to connivence them to do another session soon… Sorry not sorry Josh..
This was my first time at Meyers castle and it DID not disappoint. Gabby made sure to have ALL the details. We all know how much I live for wedding details.
Gabby & Jon did things a bit more traditional and opted out of a first look! What they did do is a sweet vow reading, back to back. It was THE sweetest. Yes first looks are so fun and it helps your tog move the day along better.. but these are sweet pictures. <3
I cant wait to come back to Meyers Castle for another wedding soon!
I love when my couples stick with me, to capture their lifetime memories. I remember these two when they got married… it was a HOT day. HOT HOT HOT. Im so glad they got a beautiful day for their sweet sons baptism. Its for sure one of my favorite baptisms. Super special ceremony for special people! <3
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!
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!
I met Jessica last year when she booked a boudoir session with me!! She lives out in Michigan and I causally mentioned I was going to stop at Round Barn to get some wine to take home since I was so close! She was like HEY! I like wine! SO thats the story about how we spent the rest of the day together! Stephanie, one of my trusted makeup artists rode up with me to the session so it was the three of us enjoying a nice couple of hours beautiful weather and wine!
Now fast forward to May of THIS year. I finally got to meet Kyle! I loved loved loved their sessionnn! It was SO fun to see a familiar face, and take pictures. Their pictures are some of my favorites! AND they brought their sweet pups! <3
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 had to WORK for Penelope to even crack a smile my way. Which I get, its been a weird time. I was probably the first person shes seen besides family in weeks. But MAN once we got her smiling she didnt stop!
Her favorite thing was to run down the aisles and smell the flowers. I have said it once, and ill say it again. I will be doing these next year… they were so fun and all of them turned out so beautiful!
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?
I feel like this was the last session I had with the sun… I am already missing sessions and weddings SO much.
Lorissa & Ben are super close to having their sweet baby girl. I am hoping I get to meet her soon! <3
The sun in these images are a perfect reminder of possible sunset sessions to come. HOPEFULLY in the next month.
Back to this beautiful session. - I mean look at how these two… I cant wait to see them with their sweet girl.
The smoke bomb at the end of the session was the best. Amazing way to end it. <3
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
Not long after Ryan & Liliya’s maternity session, baby Vivien popped into this world. It was such a cold day. SO cold. She was also born on my grandmas birthday ;) She was so stubborn when it came to her photo session. Every time we would start to take pictures, she would want mom and some food. We went for as long as we could before we just called it. I mean look at these facial expressions….. <3
About a week after that, I went to Ryan & Liliya’s house for a sweet lifestyle session. We timed it perfectly before sunset so we could get that beautiful golden sunlight..
I am so excited to see them again soon!
Back in January I had a sweet sweet maternity session for some long time clients. It had been a few years since I have seen them. It was the greatest surprise ever when Liliya messaged me and said they were expecting. What a great day it was for their pictures. <3
I enjoyed catching up with them and talking about the new addition that was going to making her appearance.
