Behind the Scenes of My Editing

Some people have asked me about my editing process.  I don't usually like showing my before pictures, but I thought I would show the difference good editing can make. The day of this shoot was overcast and dreary. To complicate the matter, my little model also had a prominent cut under his eye.  A couple of years ago I would not have been able to salvage this image, but now it is one of my favorites because I know this little boy personally and this image captures one side of his sweet personality. 

Hope you enjoyed behind the scenes look and look out for more!

Cerling Family Session

This family is one of our very good friends and I was able to photograph the Cerling back in 2010 as one of my first family sessions.  I was very excited when they asked me to do their pictures again at Shijori Park in Mishawaka, IN.  I love watching this family grow right before my lens!

I was told by her mom this girl would live in a tree if she could, so I thought if fitting to do her individuals where she felt most natural.

Gotta love little brothers!

This girl is bursting with fun personality around I am glad I got to photograph just a bit of it!

Real family moments are why I love my job!

I can testify this girl is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

Busch Family

 The Busch Family are a wonderful family that is about to get a little bigger!  They are expecting a little boy this summer and I know their beautiful girl Natalia is going to make a great big sister! This is one of my favorite kinds of sessions because we were able to be together for a couple of hours while we organically took family pictures, maternity pictures, couples pictures, and lot and of lots of  pictures this sweet little girl.

This was the very first picture I took of the session; just as sweet Natalia was  investigating these blossoms she was for the first time seeing me with my camera.:)

This little girl is very loved!

One of my new favorites!

All because two people fell in love!

David and Sarah-February Engagement Session

Clock on for original size!
David proposed on Indiana University South Bend's Pedestrian Bridge,

so we started off our session in that very spot!

I love finding trees like this on an urban campus!
It just shows you can naturally beautiful backdrops in the middle of the city!

After finishing our time at IUSB, we drive a quick 10 minutes away for a walk in the wood at Rum Village Park in South Bend, IN. Working with these two was great because they were so smitten with each other I barely had to give any directions.
