the green girls

“You know full well as I do the value of sisters’ affections: there is nothing like it in the world.” – Charlotte Bronte1105

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! 1123114410451233136012481433-2

the hellmann family

“Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!” – Albert Einstein362

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. 436-3508356334342550

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! 2423247167044-3175274

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!

a favorite place

Fowler Park in Terre Haute, Indiana has always been that place for me. A favorite probably because it reminds me so much of my childhood. Memories of getting my picture taken there with my sister. Memories of a dear family friend taking those pictures. Memories of playing in the lake and walking the trails. Memories of pancake breakfasts and pioneer days.

Julie & Jennifer 1982

When I got my first DSLR camera in 2009 I knew exactly where I wanted to take pictures of my two little girls at…my favorite place. I guess it’s a sense of comfort you have with a place you’ve known for so long that seems to make it easier. And those doors are a-maz-ing, right? It’s so fun to go back and look at old pictures I took in the beginning to see how far I’ve come.

Ashtin & Jenna 2010

This fall I decided to go back to Fowler Park to offer photography family sessions. I loved being in my hometown and seeing old friends. I loved seeing childhood friends who now have children of their own. In the next couple posts I’ll share some of my favorite photos I took there.
