Madden Family

I couldn't be more pleased to share this adorable slideshow of one of my favorite families! The Maddens welcomed sweet baby Joey earlier this year and he is quickly becoming the cutest chubby cheeked baby ever! Surrounded by so much love and the the doting affection of his big brother and sister, Joey is one lucky boy! James and Ellis - stop growing so fast! It feels like just yesterday when we were doing your baby pictures!

Ellen and Jim, thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture the growing stages of your family. You guys are some of the best and it has been so fun to watch you grow! Enjoy!

Gracie's Senior Pictures

Looking at these pictures, it takes me back to a little girl riding her bike and climbing trees down the street! Fast forward a decade and I'm shooting these gorgeous senior pictures of her. I know her parents could not be more proud of the beautiful, kind, athletic young woman she is becoming. And our family has been so fortunate to get to know her better over the years. Gracie- you are beautiful inside and out! I am so thrilled for this next chapter for you. It's an exciting time with so much waiting for you ahead. Just don't forget to call home every now and then ;) Enjoy!

Baby James

I could not be more THRILLED to introduce my newest nephew, sweet baby James! To be completely honest, these photos don't even do justice to how precious and perfect this baby boy is (not that I'm biased). Watching my brother and sister-in-law become parents is making my heart melt and they are already so amazing at it. Baby James is one lucky boy!!

Court and Kim- I hope you love these pics as much as I do. I can't wait to capture many more of whims he grows up! Love you guys!!

Baby Joey

It is sessions like this one that make me feel so grateful to do what I do!

The first time I met Ellen was when she asked me to take family pictures of her (then) 2 year old daughter. Small world- I actually knew her husband, Jim, from way back when in elementary school! Fast forward six and a half years and here we are with their third precious baby, the sweetest little boy! It makes my heart so happy to be able to witness the growth and change a family goes through with the addition of each little miracle. Ellis and James could not be more excited to hold their tiny baby brother and their pride makes my heart flutter!

Ellen and Jim- thank you for inviting me back time after time, and entrusting me to document the wonderful evolution of your family. Enjoy!

Gretta's Spring Senior Session

I am SO excited to share these stunning images of Gretta's spring senior session. I agreed with Gretta and her mom- one session was not enough so we went for two! This time, we changed up the scenery with a beautiful rustic and green background, paired with the perfect golden sunset! Gretta was once again absolute perfection and made it so easy on me. These photos are magic and make me so happy to see such an exciting future ahead.

Gretta, congratulations and good luck at Purdue! Gretchen, thank you for trusting me again! Enjoy :)
