*Hint, hint* I bet she likes basketball...

Cheery

Those of you from Indy may recognize this mom as the cheery personality on Fox 59 morning news. She (and her family) were just as fun in person as it seems on air!

My lil' sis

Meet Stephanie. Sweet, funny, smart, creative. You can see how gorgeous she is! But she's also the most compassionate person I know. Very affectionate. Kind and thoughtful. And has overcome more in the past year than most people do in a lifetime. I'm a very proud big sis.

Meet Jillie

She is the youngest of four. Her mom told me that she is the unfortunate victim of the don't-have-many-photographs-of-the-last-child syndrome and deserved to have her own custom photo session. What a fun mom!

Four

Four year olds talk. A lot. I'm really trying to treasure this stage because I fully know that there will come a time when Kaleb won't feel like talking to me. But by the end of the day, I am so weary from conversations that go like this...

k: What does pink mean?
me: It's a color. You know that, silly.
k: Why is it a color?
me: I'm not sure. It just is.
k: What does color mean?
me (trying to provide an intellegent answer): Colors are made when light reflects off of things. Everything has a different color because light bounces off of it.
k (paying no attention to my answer): What is light?
me: It's the opposite of dark.
k: Why?
me: I don't know, kiddo.
k: What does "I don't know" mean?

All. Day. Long.


But...then I hear this sweet little voice behind me as I'm heading down the stairs in my skirt and flip flops...
"Mommy, you look just like Cinderella."

Awww. Keep talking, little guy.

The Chicken and the...

Eggs!!

I Spy

I spy with my little eye...


a tasty treat.

Awaiting

This is a sweet friend of mine named Azalea. She and her husband are expecting their first child in May - I can't wait to see what wonderful parents they will be! Isn't she gorgeous?!




This is my kind of *family portrait*...

Little Queen

I had the privilege of photographing my dear friend Tracy's third child. She has the coolest name too - Rania (which means *queen* in Arabic). Welcome to the world, little one...




I tried and tried to tuck her little feet under her here, but she insisted on having them propped up like this! I thought it looked more comfortable to have them relaxed...apparently she didn't agree. :)

Beauty

After really *looking* through the lens at other people's children I see beauty in a different way. Photography lets me see much deeper than my everyday eyes. And I like the challenge of capturing the beauty that each adoring mom gets to witness everyday. It's a great job.

Spring

I've never understood the phrase "April showers bring May flowers." In my garden, the flowers come up in April and turn brown by May. Oh well, the flowers are here, so I won't complain.
