Disclaimer: slightly biased, highly proud godfather posting.

Near the end of April I joined our goddaughter Marissa and her prom date / cohort in theatrical crime Quin for portraits before Mishawaka High School’s prom night. (Shameless plug, they’re playing lead roles this weekend on stage in Aladdin! Go see it!)

You two looked very snazzy, glad to join you for a silly, fun & rarely serious shoot before your fun night! -eB

"Act natural... nevermind, act devious!"

Devious didn’t take any convincing or surprise anyone given Marissa’s theatrical repertoire.

Before the month of March is completely gone I wanted to wish a very happy first and fifth anniversaries to the two first friends I had and whose wedding anniversaries are in the same last week of this month - my sisters. Congrats to my "younger-older" sis Aliya and Ray on your 5th anniversary today! Meanwhile back in reality... this is how →

Spring is in full swing and gusting through Michiana as March is all but gone. Here's a flashback from Emily's windy outdoor Senior Portrait Session last April around Beutter Park and Battell Park in Mishawaka, Indiana. Emily planned a mix of heels to barefoot, jeans to sundress to skirt outfits for her sunny and windy afternoon outdoor shoot. I'm glad to →

(1 part finding a post in the drafts folder, 1 part nostalgia for the old hangout downtown, 1 part chicken logo - shake & enjoy) What to do on the way home from shooting 10 hours of wedding fun on a hot muggy day? Stop by a sweaty hot back room hardcore band debut show at Generic downtown. (I mean at →

We finally got our White Christmas weather in northern Indiana... a week or so late! Since it was more of a muddy and gray Christmas here we burned off some cabin fever energy and let the kids get into Christmas PJs for some photos that matched the magical snowy weather outside. (Neither were too picky that it was early January →

After a busy Thanksgiving week it was a great treat to spend a holiday weekend afternoon out for a very leisurely engagement session with Emily and Tomas. Between an away football game day and Thanksgiving travels, Notre Dame University campus was unusually quiet this afternoon. Even with occasional wind gusts it was an unseasonably nice late November afternoon to start →

Has it only (and already) been two years since Madeline joined our family? A year ago I shared the letter I wrote to her when Sara and I found out we were expecting her. Early this morning marked my daughter's 2nd birthday, and I feel the need to brag a little on my kids. :) Maddie loves music and dancing around. →
