A beautiful fall day

When Cortney contacted me about a photoshoot...I was beyond excited! I met Cortney through a friend, and knew a photoshoot for her family would be so fun! The day was perfect and the Housmans were simply adorable. Being completely themselves while I just clicked away...this shoot was unbelievably fun. Imagine a precious family playing together in perfect bliss on a fall day...then take a look at the Housman's pictures below to see exactly what that looks like...








Dan and Cortney...you have a beautiful family! Thank you so much for trusting me with capturing your memories. It was a blessing for me to be able to share the day with you! (Oh yeah...and tell my new best friend Bryn that I said hi! :)

Old friends new memories

Growing up in South Holland, my next door neighbor was my best friend. We played together every day...going on adventures around the block, leaving the mailman surprises in the mailbox, going to the park, hopping the fence back and forth between our houses, chatting through her open window...and much more. After living next door when we were little, then two subdivisions over when we both moved to Indiana (a couple years apart)...we now live about an hour away from each other and don't get to see each other often...but when we do, it's ALWAYS a blast. I met up with Katie and Bryan while I was back in Indiana for a day to take some Christmas card pictures. And while I cannot spoil too many potential shots...I can give you a little something to look at from my shoot with my Katie and her brother, Bryan (who has also been involved in MANY of our fabulous childhood memories).


...what's a fall photoshoot without an epic leaf-throwing fight?

3 months & 3 times as cute

Ella is already 3 months old...and at least 3 times as cute as she was the last time I saw her! Since I moved to college I don't get to see her as much as I would like, but every time I go home and visit my precious Ella and her family I cannot believe how adorable she is. Her big blue eyes and sweet smile are breathtaking. Usually when I get her attention for a while I like to give her life advice...and recently I have had to tell her numerous times to be careful...because the boys will be lining up when she gets older! I love this baby and am so excited to share another milestone in her life! Happy 3 months Ella Bella!

Since we have done Ella's past two shoots in her house, her momma and I decided to set up a make-shift studio for this shoot...and I believe it was a success...putting all of the focus on this beautiful little girl and her family.
