“I will protect you until you are grown and then I will let you fly free but loving you that is for always” – Charlotte GrayI can’t believe how big my nephew is getting. He’ll be five in April and will be starting kindergarten next year. Time is just flying by. He’s at an age that everything that comes out of his mouth makes me laugh. Definitely class clown material! He is such a funny little guy! I just love him to pieces. Here are some of my favorites I took of him and his mom.

Anne of Green Gables

I absolutely loved taking photos this past October. This beautiful October morning I had the honor of capturing some awesome family moments with the Corbin Family. Amy was one of my college roomies at Purdue…ohhh, what a fun summer we had when we were sophomores! It was great to see her husband Mike and meet their adorable son, Alex. We took photos at Southeastway Park in Indianapolis. I wish I lived closer to this park as it was such a perfect location for fall pictures. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

the green girls

“You know full well as I do the value of sisters’ affections: there is nothing like it in the world.” – Charlotte Bronte

Here are some more fall favorites with two beautiful girls, little Dillyn and her big sister Cailyn! These girls have the prettiest blue eyes! I loved how sweet they were to one another while we were taking pictures. Let me just tell you, Cailyn is a natural! Little Dillyn, well…she made me work a little harder but I finally got some smiles from her. Carrie and Danny, you have a couple of cuties!

the hellmann family

“Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!” – Albert Einstein

What a great time I had with the Hellmann family this fall! Rachel and I went to high school together and it had been a feeeeewww years since we had seen each other. This was the first time I got to meet her fun loving family too. I could just tell in the first few minutes that Rachel and her husband, TJ are awesome parents. The kids were silly and cute…and little G…she’s a little model in the making. She loved being in front of the camera! I just hope we don’t go as long between our next visit! Here are some of my favorite shots from the evening.

the sundberg family

It doesn’t get any cuter than this! The Sundberg sisters were adorable in their Christmas dresses! And their winter coats with matching red boots…and the red London telephone booth…loved it all! Here are some of my favorites.

the golden family

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the Golden family again this year. What a beautiful, loving family! It’s always a fun time with this group….even on this cold November day. They were so great! The first snow flurries of the year didn’t bother them one bit.

Aren’t these little girls the cutest?! I can’t get over how much they remind me of my sister and I growing up. Me, the oldest with brown hair and brown eyes and my younger sister with the blonde hair and blue eyes!

the sarver family

“A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.” – Isadora James

I had the opportunity to capture pictures of these gorgeous girls along with their parents this fall. These sweet sisters are absolutely beautiful inside and out!

birch, berries, blankets… and bribing

I didn’t spend my Friday shopping, instead I took some pictures of my little ladies. It was really cold, 28 degrees cold but the sun was out and it was good lighting. I just couldn’t resist. I wish I would plan more and would pick out the perfect outfit but honestly most photo shoots with my girls are always spontaneous. Ashtin had a new, red sparkly skirt and we went with that! We found some pretty back drops of birch trees and red berries that were perfect. And yes, I had to bribe the girls but it was an easy one this time. It didn’t involve candy, money or even icecream. I told them this would be the very last time this year I’d make them pose for pictures. They were sold! Anyone else bribe your kids for photos?

the piloni family

I’m a sucker for big, brown eyes! And the Piloni kids have some beautiful ones. I was honored to take pictures of Eme and Landon this fall. I’ve known their mom for over 30 years! Yikes, the sound of that makes me seem old! It’s amazing to see childhood friends having families of their own and to see so much of them in their children is pretty cool. Here are a few of my favorites!

the burbrink family

I had the wonderful opportunity to take pictures of the Burbrink children this fall at Fowler Park. The kids are all so cute but I could eat up the little one! What an adorable little guy! I think their mom had them practicing because they were all perfect in front of the camera. The older ones were so sweet to their baby brother too and could make him laugh so hard!
