the H family [Lafayette, IN Family,Child Photography]

The mom here was a old(yes, I can say old, when you've been out as long as we have! LOL) high school friend of mine. She had seen my work on Facebook, and I was thrilled when she asked me to take her family pictures. It had been many , many years, and it was so fun to see meet her adorable little family. These two special boys are true blessings to their family. this baby of hers... gosh.. I could just eat him up!! LOL...
I love seeing moms love on their babes...

and am I right people? he is like a living doll. so, so cute!

and this is big brother.. Mr. M.. who is all of two....

this may be strange to some of you.. but I just love the emotion that is jumping off of this image. its totally a picture of their little family.. the two year old has a look of questioning, confusion, hmmm.. isn't that what 2 yr olds are all about?, and the little guy.. just those blank stares as they take in the world around them.. and then mom and dad.. grinning from ear to ear because of the joy that these little boys bring them.... the time in their lives captured in a single shot!

I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek, and I have so many, many more images, that I hope you will love as much as I did!! thank you so much for letting me capture these moments for you!

tiny Miss G [Lafayette, Indiana Newborn Photography]

this itty bitty 13 day old sweetie pie only slept for about 2.5 seconds during our session! While I don't mind at all when babies fuss... I am super glad that this one was, and that I caught her mama trying to calm her down with a quiet 'shhhhhh'.. LOVE IT!!!

she was fighting going to sleep for awhile. Thanks for your patience C, and your willingness to try out new poses, even if little Miss G had other ideas. We'll get her next time =)

and these beautiful big eyes, just like her big brother and sister could just melt you!!



And thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to create a birth announcement for you. I am so happy that you liked it!

precious little one[Lafayette, Indiana Newborn Photography]

I had a blast taking pictures of this sweet little girl. and yes, she was itty bitty. unfortunately she was a little to big to try out my newest fall prop.. oh well, thanks for letting my try it out!!

This tiny one's mama is a friend from college, and I was super excited to get to be able to capture these precious moments of her first child. It will go by fast, so I am so happy that we got all these tiny parts. I have a collage for you too =)

love the baby belly!!

couldn't resist a newborn yawn...

and I have lots and lots more! Miss A is just too cute, and I couldn't stop snapping away.. lol

Talk to you soon !

an urban *sneak peek*[Lafayette, Indiana, family and child photography]

is this the picture perfect family or what??
when she told me what the color scheme/ outfit theme was going to be.. I just knew downtown would be an awesome backdrop for this session. Great choosing mom!

Mom and Dad... now , when was the last time you had your picture taken?

(and I have a few more to share too..)

this one needs to be big on a wall somewhere....

and these kids have the BEST personalities... I asked for silly... and I got silly....

I am just guessing that there is not a lot of quiet in this household.

if my sessions with these kiddos are any indication of what life is like..I'd say it is full of laughter!
This gave me a glimpse as to what life will be like in a few years, with my own Tatum in the middle of two brothers. so FUN! !

I seriously have about 20 more I could have shared here as a sneak peek--

thanks for giving me the opportunity to create something special for this special time in your lives.

We'll chat soon about some card/collage ideas I have too !

a mama and her kids[Lafayette, Indiana child, family photography]

a gem for my camera.... these are two of the sweetest , mild manored kids I have photographed in awhile.... or maybe its just because their mama bribed them with ice cream? LOL

love the interaction between this mom and her babes. It is such a treat for me to capture these tender moments during a session..

And even with the solemn faces... this one just is filled with so much emotion.. LOVE it!!

and one of mom alone... isn't she GORGEOUS?!!!!

and this is my absolute FAVorite!!!

thanks for letting me capture these for you T !

two brothers "B" [Lafayette, Indiana Baby, Child Photography]

would you look at these handsome guys? they have two adorable sisters too, but we just had a 'boys' session this time. The little one is on the move, not wanting to stay put for long..

Big brother is all proud.. and little brother , is like, ok, I have been still for 2 seconds and this is no fun!! LOL... so all the kids look so much a like, yet all grow into having their own unique bit to them too. I am curious who little man will favor as he continues to grow.....

Little H was much more in his element exploring the grounds

not sure which I like better.... color or B/W.....

Thanks so much for letting me take pictures of your boys! Next time we'll have a girly session !!

the N family [Lafayette,Indiana family,child photography]

these kids are so stinkin cute. and fun. this was part 1 of their family session. I got to take their pictures last fall too, and it is amazing to see how each child has grown.. has an even more emerging personality. seriously, so fun. so this was park setting... au casual..... love that shot... love sister's expression...

and this one couldn't have been planned more perfectly.. except THIS one wasn't.. lol

( I think it needs to be blown up kinda big)

and out of the three.. she knew what to do.. and definitely LOVED the camera.. (at least for a little while.. )

look at big brother's face.. he is just that.. taking the adoration from his little sis! LOVE that!

such handsome dudes...

..... and you may have noticed.. daddy wasn't there.

nope , poor guy was at home sick. So mom came out with the three kiddos and I *hope* we created something worth being a fabulous Christmas gift for Dad !

Thanks so much, D, for trusting me to take your family's photos. I have already started in on part 2.. and they are amazing!!!
