Jennifer + Brad + Family // Fort Wayne, IN

As many of you may remember, I had the chance to photograph a little boy named Powers right as after new years 2012 but hey if you don't remember it's OK...I got you. Powers + Brad + Jennifer which was a rad session. The kid was a natural. By far one of the easiest child sessions I've done. I left that day super excited to get those images up. Fast forward to a more than year ago, Jennifer and Brad were expecting their second child Cadence. Jennifer contacted me asking if Id want to do another session(you bet I would) but timing was all over the place at the time so we held off. Once this session was in the booked, Jennifer and I discussed ideas. She stated she didn't want anything too posed, basically just the family doing what the family would do at the park. Done deal. Lets do this.

Once I met up with them at Franke park in Fort Wayne, I was excited to meet Cadence and to see a grown up version of Powers or Po, whichever you decide to call him. The little guy seemed all grown up with his red wayfarer sunglasses and "kid themed" temporary tattoos. Cadence, what a doll. Both children have amazing blue eyes and they make it so easy to capture images even on the run, just bust out the ginormous zoom lens and go to work. Im really happy with this session and I wish Jennifer and Brad all the best while raising these two adorable children. Although, Im thinking there will be more sessions with these two in my future and I welcome that fully. Thank you for reading and enjoy your day.

Nick & Carrie & Baylee // MaternitySession. Kokomo, IN

Nick and I have known each other for quite some time. He has assisted me on a wedding a did a few years ago, to basically see how I work and we both happen to shoot Nikon so it was a big plus in my book. He also contacted me to gain some perspective on shooting abandoned buildings and the stance I take on what he would say is "making an old chair look good" Hes a stand up guy for sure. Nick and his wife Carrie are expecting their first child here real soon. He inquired a while ago asking if Id be into shooting their maternity session and I said "absolutely". He told me they didn't want something completely ordinary but that he trusts my body of work and my ideas. This being my first maternity shoot I wanted to give them the best I could but in a small way challenge myself and bring everything together in a soft, delicate way.

Their baby's name will be Baylee, she is due at the end of the June, I told them to shoot for June 19th but we'll see what happens... They were a breeze to work with and I wish both of them the best with everything in welcoming Baylee to the word. Thank you for viewing and enjoy your day.
