{Kaylin / KHS Senior Model 2012}

Meet Kaylin....our KHS Senior Model 2012!

LOVE her personality & her "farm girl" ways :)

She looks so much like her mom!! Is that ok that I say that Kaylin?  It's a good thing :)

Kaylin is a very special client this year for me!

I know her family...her mom use to take care of me when I was a little pain in the butt!

...and I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to capture her gorgeous daughter Kaylin for her!

THRILLED!!!

I giggled thru the entire session, and I am sure Kaylin has some fond memories of me as well...

esp the one with the cricket or various bugs I was trying to avoid...

or dare I say the "snake" she joked with me about that almost gave me 

a heart attack!

Yep, it is hard to believe that I grew up in the little farm town of Kouts!

Or that I use to help my friends on their farms...(which was hilarious I am sure)

Because I am most definately a CITY GIRL at heart...and I am positive Kaylin and Amy can 

tell you that!

Thank you so very much Kaylin for a beautiful session that I will def never forget!

Can't wait till our next one on the tracks :)

Enjoy!

{Leslie & Rusty Beach Maternity}

Leslie & Rusty are one of my all time favorite bridal couple....

and I was so lucky to shoot their maternity session as well as their beautiful daughters 

new beginnings...coming soon!

Leslie made being a photographer super easy at her wedding...

she had every detail known to man in place and beautiful!

I loved everything about her :)

Super sweet and loved her visions!

Rusty makes me laugh every time I get to work with him.

He get to put his "model" face on for us...

but he goes with the flow and is very patient!

They are simply a BEAUTIFUL couple...

you can see the love just pouring through for each other!

I had no doubt that they would be absolutley wonderful parents...

and after meeting little Brooklyn the other night, 

I was swooning!

She is a magical little doll...and so reminds me of both her parents already!

Rusty is one of the most hands on dad's I have EVER had the pleasure of working with.

Leslie is such a natural mother it is rediculous! :)

Can not wait to share their daughter's images with you!!!

As always, thanks for the beautiful moments you allowed me to capture for the two of you!

You both are so delightful to be around and work with :)

Cracker

It good Ol' Valparaiso Indiana, the band Cracker came to perform on the brand new Ampitheater stage built in our newly redone Central Park!

They put on a fantastic show during the annual Popcorn Fest that Valparaiso holds in Sept.

{NEW splash page intro to website}

This year it was extremely hard to narrow down the images of all the clients and choose the very few that make it to the front page...I love all of my clients and am so thankful for your support in my visions and dreams!! I basically went with tonality this season and am happy with the new look of the intro :)

Morgan & Ryan e-session

I am a city girl at heart, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the city and all it has to offer....but coming back thru the country side tonight from my e-session was crazy beautiful! The sunset across the crops was amazing...I could of got lost in my thoughts for hours! I wanted to pull up to one of those cozy country homes and join in the bonfire! Or jump on a beautiful horse and ride across the field...

It was so serene!

....and having just shot this session for this lovely couple, I was  in the mood for Country music streaming from Pandora on the Iphone

{Jason Aldean's station to be exact!}

while I enjoyed a nice long drive across the country side home...

enjoying all the beauty that I saw!

...and I am not even sure if they listen to COUNTRY lol, but after capturing their love tonight...that is what I was in the mood for!

I had a wonderful session with Morgan & Ryan...

I had no clue that there was such a cute park in Monticello Indiana!

Such a cute couple!

...and I have to admit that I played Jason Aldean tonight as I edited these images down

for a sneak peak :)

um, and Dirt Road Anthem may of been playing when I got to the above image....

they are both "country" and I LOVE it

BEAUTIFUL smile Morgan!

I can not wait to capture  your special day! I am truly looking forward to it :)

Thank you for a wonderful session tonight...can't wait to capture the John Deere Tractor!

..and I am pretty sure I will have to listen to Big Green Tractor on the way home!
