{Meet Little B aka Shaggy / Northwest Indiana Children's Photographer} }

Meet Little B aka Shaggy...or Chaggy as he pronounces it 

This little dude has the coolest surfer hair this side of CALI :)

he will be : 3 yrs old

his favorite toys are: legos and cars

 favorite hair style: shaggy...that is the way he likes it

favorite meal: hamburger (but it is really a cheeseburger)

if he had a part in the circus it would be:

So Shaggy and I hit the streets of porter county, with his "shot gun" in tow!

His mother and I were silently praying that VPD did not stop us, or that we would give 

anyone a heart attack....thinking it may be real!

The gun HAD to come on our venture, it simply was NOT ALLOWED to stay in the car.

So Shaggy, and I worked the alleys of town...in 42* weather, 

yes a bit chillier than we had expected!

beach is what we had thought...with some urban scenery as well

beach was out

there was NO way that was going to happen today

Shaggy is uber cool...he works it his way and on his own time...

he told us when he was done, just like any other super star

and his done time was about 15 min after we started.

Good thing his agent aka mom, 

didn't mind grabbing up little man and carrying him to next spot quickly!

thanks little man...our little venture was def interesting :)

:: what are some major lessons you have learned in life: i learned that rarely things are as they seem.  when we are younger, we think everyone is our friend...when we start to grow through age, we realize who our true friends are. RMXWWMDSTWD6

{meet Miss H / Northwest Indiana Senior Photographer}

...we headed to a local park to grab a few images before H headed her way south.

it was a heck of alot chillier than we had anticipated it being

but a quick stop at Starbucks between locations and

we were ready to roll with it again.

this location here, was an absolute dream with all the textures, colors, mixed surfaces

i was in HEAVEN

like seriously!

but great locations come with some kinda price always....

and this one came with a BIG, heavy black garbage bag

this bag def grabbed  H's  attention

i never could of dreamt up what came out of her mouth next

but it sorta went like this

"um, what do ya think is in that big bag?"

followed by a swift kick to the bag by H

"well, it sure feels like it may be heavy....maybe like a body!"

"gross, what if it's a body?!"

i just about peed my pants....like seriously!

although truthfully, every CSI show that i have ever watched came reeling back through my mind!

i mean to tell you the truth, the bag was a bit creepy...but i am sure there was NO BODY 

in that darn bag!

We wish you the best Miss H, in your lifes journey....

enjoy that ocean breeze

and the beautiful white sand, that will soon be beneath your toes!

Hope to see you again this summer when you visit :)
