A few years ago I met Erin and Jacob.  I had so much fun getting to know them when I photographed their engagement session and wedding.  I could not have asked for a nicer couple to work with.  Earlier this year, I was thrilled to hear the exciting news that Erin and Jacob were expecting a baby, and so happy to have the opportunity to photograph the two of them just weeks before their little boy Jack is due to arrive!!

Erin was 34 weeks pregnant at the time of our session, and she looked AMAZING!!

Erin and Jacob are so great together…it was really neat to get to capture their sweet interactions with one another.

Seriously, Erin, you are stunning!!

Love this!! 

We had to do a little shooting in Jack’s nursery!  It is so cute and all ready for him!!

And we had to get a few belly shots with a little more dramatic lighting too!

Well, I have heard that next week is the week that Jack is scheduled to arrive!!  I know that you will be wonderful parents, Erin and Jacob!  I can’t wait to meet your precious little boy!

Sweet Lucy turned one in April.  The Fishers asked me to capture some images to remember this milestone, as well as to get some new photos of big sister, Maddie, and of the whole family together.  We got together at Minnetrista’s Oakhurst Gardens for some fun on a hot July day and came away with lots of photos!

Lovely Lucy!!

Big sister, Maddie, is four years old and such a beauty!

See, I told you there was fun involved!

Sisters are pretty great. 

Before we ended the day, we stopped in the Fishers’ backyard for a couple of last shots.  How can you go wrong with so much green and that cute little gate to welcome you?

Thanks, Steph, Aaron, Maddie, and Lucy for such a fun session!

Meet Ann and Will.  They are a fabulous couple, and they’re getting married in an outdoor ceremony in September that I’m very excited about photographing.  Ann and Will met at Purdue University, and since Purdue’s campus held so many memories for them, they decided that it would be the perfect spot for doing their engagement session.

Ann and Will wanted to make sure we got in a few photos with the beautiful Purdue Bell Tower in the background! (And you can’t even tell that the whole area at the base of the tower was fenced off for repairs and surrounded by all sorts of construction, can you?!!)

I love trying to capture the interactions between people that really show how they feel about each other.  Little looks between two people when they aren’t paying attention to me or to the camera usually give this away the most.  When I was going through and editing Ann and Will’s photos, I saw those looks again and again.  I think these two make each other pretty happy…wouldn’t you agree?

Just a note…Ann and Will got engaged just a few feet from the spot where we took these photos!!  Will proposed on graduation day as soon as the ceremony was over!  They say the end of one thing is the beginning of something new, right?  Well, I think that this was the case for his graduation day, don’t you think?!

I think these last two are my favorites from the session!!

Thanks for showing me all around Purdue, Ann and Will!  I can’t wait for your wedding!
