I’ve been photographing this family since their oldest daughter was six months old. Now there are three of them! It’s been a joy to watch them grow. Here are newborn photos of their newest addition, Samantha. I hope you enjoy the sweetness of these little ones and a few with their beautiful mama, too! 🙂
This little guy is one blessed baby! I’m a big fan of his parents and was so excited to go up to Fort Wayne at the beginning of June to meet him. Kendra and I have been great friends for sixteen years and it was a joy to meet this addition to David’s and her family and take some newborn photos of little Liam. I hope you enjoy these highlights from our time together! I bet you can figure out one of his dad’s favorite pastimes through these photos!
Such a beautiful mama!
I felt right at home spending the day with these friends and really enjoyed the time getting to know my newest baby buddy!
Had to get a photo of Liam and me!
Hello! At the beginning of June, I had a really fun time photographing my brother’s family as they anticipate the coming of a fifth child to their family. I know I’m biased, but this is honestly one of the cutest families on the planet. 🙂 I hope you enjoy these photos from our time together!
Hi there! It’s been a busy few months here. I’ve just returned from a cross-country road trip from Indiana to Los Angeles and have lots to share from that adventure! Here are some sneak peeks of sessions and travel posts I will be sharing soon. Stay tuned!
Here is a recreation of a shot I took of three of my brother’s children a few years ago. More photos of my brother and sister-in-law’s family coming soon!
This is the lovely baby who came from the last maternity photo session I posted. Look back for more newborn photos of Liam soon!
I’ve been photographing these kids since this big sister was six months old! Look back soon for newborn photos of this beautiful baby sister!
We took our time exploring Utah on the cross-country road trip. Here is a shot of Bryce Canyon. More to come soon of Arches, Capitol Reef, Bryce, and Zion National Parks.
We finished our journey in Los Angeles. Here is a photo from outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. More Cali photos will be posted soon!
I got to spend Mother’s Day weekend with my great college friend, Kendra, and her husband, David in Fort Wayne. You may remember them from their engagement photos last year. A lot has happened since then including a beautiful wedding last summer and a son on the way. Well, their son has already been born this month (future clients take note… end of the school year Jenni needs a little extra time to catch up on sessions), but I did want to share some of the great maternity photos we got last month before I share pics of baby boy soon. 🙂
Last month I had a wonderful time catching up with the Mansoori family and seeing how their girls have grown since our last photo shoot. Lily continues to be a wonderful big sister to Layla, who has grown quite a bit since her newborn photos! It was really fun to photograph them in their element at home. For some of the photos, the girls wore their Persian dress up clothes, an adorable piece of their heritage that I really enjoyed documenting for them. I hope you enjoy these photos!
Who doesn’t love getting permission to jump on the bed??
Persian tea party!
In continuing some of my recent posts, I’m still going through old photos from my Southeast Asia adventure in the summer of 2012. During my quick solo trip to Malacca (aka Melaka) City, in Malaysia I had a great time walking around photographing to my heart’s content. It was great eating at a delicious Indian restaurant (where I’m sure I looked quite foolish, not knowing for sure how to properly eat what I ordered) and taking in the sight of the canal from the back patio of the hotel where I stayed. Here are a few of my favorite shots from that time.
Right before the sun started to set, as I was searching for a good dinner spot in Little India.
Outside where I ate dinner. The trees were filled with birds, making it one of the noisiest parks I’ve been to.
My dinner in Little India
A pretty great way to spend the evening on my hotel’s back patio!
As mentioned in my previous post, some photos from my Southeast Asia adventure in July 2012 got lost in the shuffle of life and I’m finally getting back to editing them. Here are some photos from my quick trip to Malacca City (aka Melaka) in the Malaysian state of Malacca, northwest of Singapore. I concentrated my exploration in the touristy areas of Little India and Chinatown. I feel like this post contains a bit of sensory overload, but then I remember that’s kind of what my first day was like there. I don’t have my travel journal or travel book with me right now, so I apologize for not having more details about what these sights are, but I do hope you enjoy these photo highlights!
My delicious lunch- their well-known chicken rice ball dish
I loved the picturesque canal
The town center where I had a few people ask to have their picture taken with me…
Decorated Trishaws are quite a sight to behold!
And here’s some proof that I was present in all of this… including a selfie with Mr. Universe and a random fake giraffe feeding from a museum I visited. 🙂
I’m home in Pennsylvania for my spring break this week and had a wonderful time visiting my niece and her husband on Saturday and meeting their new daughter, Mira, who is just over two weeks old. You may remember Mira’s parents from their wedding photos a few years back. I couldn’t resist the chance to take some photos of this family of three during my visit. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
Since this is a more personal post, I get to include a personal pic. Here I am with my newest great-niece! 🙂
Hi there! Welcome to my very random Friday blog post. I’m currently on spring break from teaching and I’ve had a chance to revisit some photos that I never got around to editing a while back. I just can’t bear the thought of having gone on such a fun adventure and not sharing the photos, so thanks for indulging me by checking out this throwback post…
Here’s some background: In June and July 2012, I had the awesome opportunity to travel to Southeast Asia as a recipient of a Lily Endowment Teacher Creativity Grant. You can learn more about the photography club I started and the great things I saw happening in Cambodia on the blog with much gratitude for the experiences the grant allowed me to have. One bonus of my trip was the time to travel to Singapore, visiting my cousin and her family. While there, I took a quick side trip to Malaysia, visiting the city of Malacca (also known as Melaka). When I returned from my southeast Asia adventure, my life got a little crazy, as did my photography business. I continued to teach, travel, and photograph, and found that time got away from me and I didn’t get to edit and share photos from my many adventures. So I’ve decided to revisit those photos and share some over the next few months. I hope you enjoy these somewhat outdated photos!
When I got off the bus in Malacca, I started to explore and was immediately drawn to this church, St. Peter’s. I think that after spending a couple weeks in Cambodia where Christian churches are uncommon, I found this church to be a novelty and enjoyed checking it out. While the date is somewhat in question, most believe that St. Peter’s was erected in 1710. I loved capturing the light pouring into the sanctuary and appreciated the more modern installation in front of the church remembering Jesus walking on water. I hope you enjoy these photos. More Malaysia photos will be coming soon!
