Sneak Peek for Dustin and Trista

Meet Dustin, Trista, Haven, Jazmin and Lola. These were the best dogs I've ever photographed. They came in, explored their new surroundings and settled right in letting me capture their Christmas picture. It was a cinch! Dustin's brother took them on home and we snapped a few more photos. Dustin and Trista, it was a pleasure meeting you guys. Hope you like your sneak peeks!

The McCloud Family

What's a family shoot at the park like with the McCloud family? Playing in the leaves, shooting bow and arrow, climbing hills, climbing trees, finding a frog, playing on the teeter-totter, looking at the water and more! It all makes for perfect family pictures!

Sneak Peek for the Wilson Family

Picture Perfect! That sums up the day spent with the Wilson family. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, sunny and 75! The family was simply beautiful, every one of them. Oh, and so easy to photograph. I told mom, just stop me because I could really photograph you guys all day! We started in the park and then moved on downtown. I don't usually show so many photos in the sneak peek blog, but there were so many good ones I couldn't stop processing them! Ok, enough talking, I know Kathi is so excited for her sneak peek, so here you go.

Sneak Peek for the Biggins Family

Three of the cutest kiddos came to see me today in the studio. Twin 5 year old boys and their sweet little 3 year old sister. It took a lot of time, patience, shutter clicks and even a few lolly pops to get some awesome photos of them. I hope mom will feel it was well worth it after she sees these sneak peeks.

Feeling a little creative, I added a textured background and scripture






Love this one! Just look at the light in his eyes!


Ok, I told you it took more than a few clicks to get a great shot. Here's one of my favorite out takes!


But the next click was perfect!!


And this one too. I can't decide which one I like the best. Good thing I don't have to choose!

The Pollard Family

What do you get when you photograph 5 teenagers, a cute little brother and two parents in love? You get the Pollard Family! What a fun day we had snapping family photos in the park. I'm working on your proofs today, but I had to post this one right away. Until the rest are ready enjoy this one!

Arnold Family Sneak Peek

Meet Princess Makinna and Prince Layton. Makinna was a little shy at first, but once I told her she had one of the prettiest smiles I've ever photographed and that she must be part Princess, she perked right up. We had fun playing in the leaves, climbing ladders, playing peek-a-boo around the trees and more. Thanks for a fun day in the Park Arnold family. Glad the weather took a turn for the better!

Sneak Peek for the Hawker Family

Meet the Hawker Family. A few of them drove 2 hours and one drove 3 to meet up in Newburgh for a fall family portrait. It was a pleasure meeting this fun and energetic family. I knew it would be a fun shoot as soon as I got out of my car. I was greeted with a hug by an adorable 4 year old! It was a chilly fall day, but despite the weather forecast that called for rain, we lucked out and got sunshine instead. Thanks for being so flexible guys! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Mulzer Family Sneak Peek

October is here and it's the beginning of Fall Family Photo Sessions. First up is the Mulzer family. They were my first October family last year too! You'll notice one of their boys up in the blog header.

After 4 days of rain last week, I was certainly glad to wake up to clear blue skies and sunshine on Saturday morning, and it lasted all day! The ground was a bit soggy, so I brought my new Eastlake Setee circa 1870 to sit on.

We had a great family shoot, despite the amount of Daddy Long Leg spiders that live on the stone wall, we were able to use it as a great backdrop.

Here's your sneak peek Mulzer family! I'll have your proof gallery up very soon!

Her New Grin {Newburgh Childrens Photographer}

Carissa stopped by for a visit today. Her mom just couldn't wait for her front two teeth to fall out so she could come to the studio for a picture. Check out her new grin!

Her Day to Shine {Newburgh Senior Photographer}

Meet Jacklyn. She's a senior, and today's her day to shine!
Jacklyn, I sure had fun taking your senior pictures. Here are a few sneak peeks for you and mom.
Hope you like them!

Oh, I have to tell the story behind this one. We were in this alley shooting, when I noticed this beautiful 1949 Chevrolet heading down the street toward us. I said, "Wouldn't THAT be cool to shoot with!" Just then the driver pulled over to see what we were doing. When he found out we were shooting senior pictures he offered his car! Wow! Talk about the right place at the right time! I ended up taking the couples photo with their car and plan to send copies for them and their 5 children!

Introducing....

The Digital Collection

When you can't decide which images to choose and you don't want to leave any out, then The Digital Collection is for you! Instead of ordering images for print from me, simply choose the images you love and I'll put them on a full resolution cd for you to keep and print on your own.




Of course you can still always order prints through me!

Ok..A few more

A few more from Hadley's 7 days old newborn shoot.

Mama didn't want to be in any pictures, but I think she looks beautiful with her baby girl!




For each of my clients I create storyboards. This one highlights all of those sweet baby parts!

Fresh and New {Newburgh IN Newborn Photographer}

Meet Hadley Joy. She is a 7 day old peaceful and sweet little girl. She spent most of our session together today wide awake. Her mama kept trying to get her to drift off to sleep so we could get some sleeping baby poses, but Hadley decided she didn't want to miss a thing. I think it's due to the 6 big brothers and 1 big sister that she has a home! They must be some great entertainment!
Congratulations Mike and Heather. Hadley Joy truly is a joy! Now here are a few sneak peeks until your proofs are ready.
