The Schumaker family were all together this summer and had their extended family photos done! With a 2-hour session and one beautiful location, we were able to squeeze in all kinds of portraits and combinations of this tribe! 
Ihrie Family . Ft. Wayne IN Family Photographer, Sarasota FL Family Photographer, Columbia City IN Family Photographer
Our family has become good friends with this adorable family over the past couple years. Our kids love playing together, we’re in bible study together, and sit in the same pew at church. I was honored to be the one to capture their family photos this week!
T & N’s Wedding . Ft. Wayne IN Wedding Photographer, Sarasota FL Wedding Photographer, Columbia City IN Wedding Photographer
It was a hot summer day, but this group was cool and gorgeous! What a beautiful Fort Wayne Wedding!
I just wanted to give a shout out and “Thank You” to Nicole from Nicole Morehead Photography, for second shooting this wedding with me! It’s great to have a second shooter getting opposite angles during a First Look!
Let’s Party!
Congrats T&N! Many blessings on your family!!
Comingore Family . Ft. Wayne IN Family Photographer, Sarasota FL Family Photographer, Columbia City IN Family Photographer
I first photographed the Comingore family 5 years ago when little Zeke was a newborn! (the little guy in grey) I love seeing them grow year after year, now Zane being a teenager, and little Remi the new “baby” in the family. We had a sweaty but gorgeous evening together in Sarasota last week!
Miranda & Tom, You’ve created a beautiful little tribe!
These beauties were perched on a tree as we started our session! I had to stop and take their photo too!
Ella Pine, Dancer . Ft. Wayne IN Photographer, Sarasota FL Photographer, Columbia City IN Photographer
Ella has chosen dance to be her one extracurricular activity. At 10 years old she puts hours into this art form every day! Dance is no joke, you guys! It was super special to spend an hour together in a downtown studio in Columbia City (Next Generation of Dance), and see all of her awesome moves! 
Jason & Jessica’s Wedding . Ft. Wayne IN Wedding Photographer, Sarasota FL Wedding Photographer, Columbia City IN Wedding Photographer
Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Foor!
These two are so fun to be around. Jason is constantly making people laugh, especially his bride. And Jessica is so laid back and sweet…not to mention her gorgeous good looks! They had a gorgeous, sunny (and hotttttt) summer afternoon wedding!
Jessica & Jason got married at Columbia City’s new event center: Union 12. It’s a beautiful all-inclusive venue; with farm house space for the bridal party to get ready, a covered patio to hold a ceremony, natural space for portraits, and a large two story reception hall! 
trying to hold back tears…
Let’s party….
We stole Jessica & Jason away for about 10 minutes at sunset for a few more portraits! This light was so soft and perfect! 
I thought this was hilarious…. After Lance, the videographer (LC Media), showed the couple some of the awesome drone footage he got of them during our portrait time, he had the drone fly right above them, just to cool them off. Because IT. WAS. HOT! They loved it. 😉

Amanda & Christopher Engaged . Ft. Wayne IN Engagement Photographer, Sarasota FL Engagement Photographer, Columbia City IN Engagement Photographer
Amanda & Christopher were such troopers, hiking all over Headwaters Park and St. Francis University campus! But they had such great attitudes and we got some gorgeous photos for their engagement session!
I can’t wait for their fall wedding in a few months!!
Maddie Butterfield of: MBO+D . Ft. Wayne IN Photographer, Sarasota FL Photographer, Columbia City IN Photographer
Last week I had the opportunity to spend the day in Indianapolis, and while I was there I visited my friend Maddie Butterfield of MBO+D (Maddie Butterfield Organization + Design). We did a professional portrait session in her home & home office.
Seeing how she’s organized and designed her own home was proof that she knows what she’s doing!
And if you ever have the opportunity to work with Maddie, you’ll be treated to one of the sweetest, down to earth, polite humans I’ve ever met! You will not be disappointed with Maddie’s talents or personality! She’s got it all!
Maddie is offering a special for the month of June:
20% off her “Done in a Day” package! (4 hours of hands-on organization services)

The Butterfield’s . Ft. Wayne IN Family Photographer, Sarasota FL Family Photographer, Columbia City IN Family Photographer
David & Maddie are too cute! Adorable to look at, so sweet to chat with, and so loving toward each other. It’s such a pleasure to be around that kind of relationship. And it shines through in their photos! It so fun to add a little “activity” (or two) into your photo session. This lemonade picnic and tandem bike ride are so classic and romantic! 
Cooper: 1 year! . Ft. Wayne IN Family Photographer, Sarasota FL Family Photographer, Columbia City IN Family Photographer
Baby Cooper turns ONE this week!
He did awesome job digging into his birthday cake for some “Cake Smash” photos. What an adorable little guy! Those eyes are killing me!! And his parents Bob & Alyssa are so smitten for that little man!
