Cylus's Newborn Session

Welcome Baby Heinfeld! So happy to introduce this little guy to the world! Just a wee thing, but strong and growing fast, Cylus was born to Chelcea and Andy on October 16th, 2017. You might remember Chelcea's maternity session this past fall, full of the sweet decor now adorning his nursery where we had this session.
Cylus was probably the easiest newborn I've photographed yet, so sleepy and happy! I think we got through this session in record time. Working with him reminds me of just how big my youngest guy is getting and makes me want to snuggle him just a little bit harder!

Congratulations on your little bundle of joy, Andy and Chelcea! And thank you for allowing me to decorate your home with all these milestones!

Aldrich Family Session 2017

I love watching this family change and grow every year... but this session was especially fun! Two boys 3 and under is sure to be an adventure, and especially two boys under 3 on a farm. We ended up having a few hilarious blooper shots that I couldn't ignore - from blinding bear hugs to hiding in the dog house to cake smash meltdowns and a photo bombing cow! (Not to be confused with the 100% adorable 1 day old calf.... heart. melt.)

This is real life, people. That's why I love capturing moments like these. You just can't make this stuff up, but it's all too familiar to those of us with young ones who are so full of curiosity and love to explore until they're so tuckered out they can hardly keep their little eyes open. And poor mom and dad are exhausted themselves, but oh so patient and loving scooping their kiddos up to try to squeeze in one last "cheese" for the camera.

Great job, as always, Danielle and Jarrod! Hope you will cherish these moments for years to come!

Amanda & Brodie ~ the Wedding

Nestled in the quaint little town of Goshen, friends and family joined to celebrate with Amanda and Brodie at the First United Methodist Church. The day was full of anticipation and laughter, donning lavendar and emerald green, and taking advantage of the peeks of sunshine in between the bouts of lucky rain (or monsoon... depending on how you look at it). A special shout out to both the groom and the bride's father, who took turns holding an umbrella over me while doing Amanda's portraits!

I absolutely loved their venue, the Spohn ballroom, and was ever grateful for the endless supply of hot coffee! The walls were lit in golden and purple hues, and the images were magical. We snuck out for a few more of Amanda and Brodie along the streets in downtown Goshen - even in the night sky, they were stunnning! And back at the reception, I had never seen a dancefloor so full and non-stop.

What a great day, you two! Congratulations on tying the knot, and wishing you a lifetime of wedded bliss!
