Gavin Turns 3!!!

Gavin - oh my goodness - what a cute little boy he was!  He was super shy at first, but I'm pretty sure that my slip down the hill (almost into the Wabash River) really lightened the mood for him (and everyone)!  I bet mom had no idea when I promised her a fun session that I'd really start it off with a bang!  hahaha!  Even the slight hiccup didn't stop me from getting lots of great shots the rest of my time with them!  Mr. Gavin finally warmed up to me about halfway through our session and we got some GREAT smiles from him (I'll probably post more of those smiles on here as I edit them...hehehe)!  I even got a hug at the end ::melt::!  I had so much fun chasing him around with his football, soccerball, kick ball (all Toy Story mind you which I LOVED!)!  Our time together was so much fun, and thank you SOOOO much for coming and seeing me all the way from Indy!!

The cutest little pumpkin in the patch!!

I just had to share this picture of my daughter Maycee Grace - is she the cutest pumpkin in the patch or what???  The hat was made by a lady I work with, and I JUST LOVE IT TO PIECES!!!  haha!  I'll more than likely post more as I get to them because after all - it is October and pumpkin season!! :)

A Tea Party for Four!

Toni was one of my first appointments that I booked back in August, and I could hardly wait until September rolled around to finally be able to do their family session!  Little Miss Ava will be 4 years old in a couple months, and she became a big sister this year to Miss Andi Grace (who is now almost 5 months!)  Hard to believe how times flies!  I had been out and about looking for "inspiration" if  you will, and stumbled across this old, silver tea seat!  I knew exactly how I was going to use it - for a little tea party in the park with Miss Ava!  And boy was it a hit - momma messaged me after and said that Ava keeps asking when she can go back for another tea party!  That just melts my heart!  I am thrilled to know when kids actually had FUN during our session, which is something I hope to use A LOT OF!  You can never have too much FUN!!  Thanks again Mahn family for having me capture some memories for you!  I can't wait for you to see the rest - there are SOOO many good ones from our day together :)

Megan -- a FUN senior session!!!

I have known parents for quite a while now because our husbands both worked together at one point.  I was sooo excited when Connie contacted me to do Megan's senior pictures!  I had never met Megan, but mom said she loves photography and wanted to have a fun outdoor session.  I loved Megan's outfits that she brought along - they were so cute and she was a natural in front of the camera!  As we explored and talked she is either going to school for photography or psychology.  Both very cool choices (I encouraged the photography naturally...hahahaha)!  I know that we captured some great pictures and I can't wait to finish them all for them all to see!  I wish you a lot of fun and laughter for your last high school year and wish you nothing but the best in your future!

Three boys, an Old Mill and a WHOLE lotta fun!

I had the pleasure of taking pictures for the Mullens family.  I am so glad that Amy contacted me to take pictures of her family, and I was thrilled when she said she had 3 young boys - 6, 5, and 10 months!  I LOVE taking pictures of children and families!  Amy even found a new spot - an old mill out by Rossville.  I had never been, but instantly was in love when I arrived!  There were so many things to use for cool backdrops, and the day itself was gorgeous!  It was funny because the weather had been rather cool leading up to that day, and then as unpredictable as Indiana weather can be it was like 80 degrees!  Jack - the oldest - was such a helpful brother, and he was such a "poser" as his mom said!  Instantly ready to flash that big smile that was missing a tooth!  And Carter - the 2nd oldest - was quiet at first but as we moved around he let more and more of himself come out!  He was even battling a broken collar bone, which I can't imagine would be comfortable for anyone!  And little Cade - the wee little one - was a sweety!!!  He almost always had a smile on his face, and was sooo curious about where he was!  He was exploring everything!  I love that age - so innocent!  We got some great pictures, and I can't wait for mom to explore her gallery!  We talked about potentially doing a winter shoot at the old covered bridge just down the road!  I LOVE Christmas time and am already thinking of ideas!  hahaha!  Thanks again so much for contacting me about pictures!  It was such a pleasure to work with you all!!
