Baby Butterfield Announcement! . Ft. Wayne IN Family Photographer, Columbia City IN Family Photographer
I’m so excited for my friends, the Butterfield’s! They are expecting their first child in March 2019! And we had a fun little pregnancy announcement photo shoot to help them share the good news!
Holler Family . Ft. Wayne IN Family Photographer, Sarasota FL Family Photographer, Columbia City IN Family Photographer
The Holler’s are a sweet family that we know from church. I got to take some newborn photos of baby Hope about a year and a half ago. So it was really fun to do a session with the whole family, this time around.
We spent the evening on their property in Columbia City. Thankfully there was no rain, but there were plenty of mosquitos! (I guess you can’t have it all). But I especially loved the soft light coming through the clouds, and those joyful smiles from everybody in the family!
Okay, maybe EVERYONE wasn’t smiling the WHOLE time. But hey, when you’re 1 year old, and fighting an ear infection, you get to throw a fit or two during your portrait session. Props to mom & dad, for smiling through it. 😉
Platt Family . Ft. Wayne IN Family Photographer, Sarasota FL Family Photographer, Columbia City IN Family Photographer
This was my first time working with the Platt family. And I love them already! We had a beautiful evening shooting on their gorgeous property. They have three adorable and energetic boys, which always keeps thing fun and interesting. And mom and dad kept a great laid back attitude during the whole shoot. (which is hard, as a parent, I KNOW!). Well done, guys! 
Our session was mostly focused on baby Hayes since he hadn’t had a portrait session in a while. But we also squeezed in some other combinations of the whole family and the brothers, too!
Schumaker Extended Family Session . Ft. Wayne IN Family Photographer, Sarasota FL Family Photographer, Columbia City IN Family Photographer
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!
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!
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!
