Yesterday

Yesterday she played with blocks, gummed her food, gnawed on my finger, and smiled a lot.

Today she grew a tooth. And bit me.

New Studio Flooring!

Several weeks ago, when the kids and I went to visit my parents in Wisconsin for a week, my husband stayed home and worked on our beautiful new studio flooring! Well actually...he worked on the flooring for our entire downstairs. It was quite the project and he did an amazing job! Here's a little peak at the beauty:

Bathtime Baby

Is this girl not the most adorable child ever?

I thought so. :)

Keiper Girls

Man, can we please talk about perfect weather?! After those few weeks in the upper 80s and 90s every day, this past week of temps in the 70s has been a very welcome change! I had my third session in a row on the canal this week with these darling little girls. They were so pleasant and fun to photograph. And Liz and Jeremy, it was so great to meet you! I'm glad you found me on Facebook. :)

Adorable pink dresses from Lucy Jane Studio.

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of all time. Are they not the cutest things you've ever seen??

Corbin | Indianapolis Baby/Child Photographer

I first met Corbin last November when he came into the studio for his Christmas/4-month pictures. He was a smiley giggle box! This past weekend, I was thrilled to discover that his personality has not changed a bit! Kristy and Dean, it was great to see you again. I'm so glad we had such a beautiful day to work with! Corbin, thanks for coming to see me again. It's always a pleasure to work with you. :)

Did I mention Corbin is a July 4th baby?

Happy Saturday!

Annie + Family | On-Location Family Photographer

As I sit here trying to write an intro to this post, my mind is coming up blank. I don't know how to adequately sum up what Matt and Brooke have meant to me over the years. Matt was the youth pastor at the church where I attended youth group in high school. As long as I've known him, he has always had a zeal for the Lord and a passion for people. And his wife was equally lovely and always welcoming to everyone who visited. Matt preached the truth in such humility that even if his talk was highly convicting, I never felt condemned. I knew from my first visit there that I would be back. And I was.

As the years passed and I joined in Bible studies with Matt and Brooke, their desire for the Lord grew and therefore caused my own desire to grow. They were nothing short of absolutely instrumental during my high school years. When I moved away after high school, I missed them terribly. And I still do. People like this don't just pop up everywhere you live.

After a long adoption process, Matt and Brooke were finally able to welcome Annie into their family this spring! Annie is an adorable little bundle who just turned one last week! I was so happy to be able to capture their first professional family photos as well as Annie's 1-year photos!

Annie, I hope you had a super fabulous 1st birthday here in the states with your mommy and daddy! It was a pleasure to meet you. Matt....Brooke....it was an honor to take your family photos. You will never know how crucial your support and guidance was to me during those crazy high school years, even if I never expressed my appreciation at the time. Thank you for allowing me this privilege.

She learned

a new trick

yesterday morning.

While I vacuumed,

she learned to stand

in her crib.

She is

so proud

of herself.

And 

so am I.

But now....

the fun begins!
