Prom Portraits in the Park – Marissa and Quin
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, →
Windy Spring Senior Portrait Sessions – Emily
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 →
Happy New Year & Christmas Too (Snow Day Catch Up)
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 →
November Outdoor Engagement Session at Notre Dame Campus – Emily and Tomas
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 →
Happy 2nd Birthday Madeline!
Has it only (and already) been two years since Madeline joined my family? A year ago I shared the letter I wrote to her when I found out she was on the way. 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. I →
Children’s Outdoor Autumn Portraits – Stella
It's been a while since I overloaded the blog wrote about our First Friday Fashion (fail) contest from September, or the free photo shoot prize our winner received. In late October I joined our contest winner Aim for the free photo shoot giveaway. She contrived a clever and generous plan to enlist the help of Facebook friends to vote for →

Here are some favorite photos from their October engagement portraits on Notre Dame campus →
Laughter keeps you young – Hazel’s 90th Birthday
I'm no physician but I'm pretty sure laughing keeps you young. At Hazel's birthday celebration last weekend there was a great amount of humor from her and the family. Even when family members apologized for laughing through most of the portraits I reminded them I'd rather have a laughing bunch than being stared down by an unhappy one any day! Truth →
