I love Queen Anne’s Lace and it’s nearing it’s peak here in Indiana. It’s such a sweet, simple yet beautiful flower and I love photographing little girls in it. We have a couple more weeks before blooms fade with the end of summer, so if you would like a shoot in Queen Anne’s Lace for your daughter contact me right away. I still have a few opening in the next 2 weeks.

I was so swamped over the fall and holiday season that I never got to post some of my favorite sessions. So if you see a few fall posts mixed in with current ones, that would be why.

I just love these kiddos, I’ve made the trip down to Bedford every fall to shoot them and it’s so fun to watch them grow year after year. Even though it was cold and we were worried it might start raining, the session eneded up being great! And they were so sweet and cooperative in spite of how cold it was.

Another shoot from Australia. We took Jade’s friend Sam out for a quick session to see what we could get in full sun (which was awesome) and she was soo fun! Loved the way she worked the poses and put up with all of our crazy ideas. Thanks Sam!

I love days like this. It’s snowing and I love the cozy, huddled in feeling that snow days bring. Tonight we’ll have the fire going and have a nice family dinner together…what more could I ask for? Right now I’m plugging away at all of the Hawaii images while the snow is coming down here in good ‘ol Indiana, kind of ironic. And working on a new project that I’ve had in the works for a few weeks all the while listening to one of my favorite playlists. A perfect day!

This little girl was a blast! Miss H. was one of the winners of our contest and she had to have been one of the happiest, giggliest girls I’ve ever met. She had the most adorable little freckles and strawberry blond hair, but I was really struck by her happy, carefree personality. Just the way a little girl should be! Thanks so much to Miss H., her big sister and her mom for running around Greenfield with while we did the shoot. I hope you love your sneak peak!

L and L are too stinkin’ cute! And they were incredibly sweet with one another so I came away with quite a few shots of them together. And their mom and I share a passion for cute clothes so that made the session all the more fun!
