Conner | Class of 2019

Maconaquah High School Senior

We patiently waited for the rain to stop … and it was worth it. This senior session had the perfect combination of beautiful evening light and natural rustic locations to make Conner feel right at home. It makes it even more special when the location has sentimental value. From his Indiana family farm land to his Grandma’s house, each location provided unforgettable backdrops to showcase this Class of 2019 Senior!

COLT | Huntington North Class of 2019

HUNTINGTON, INDIANA SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION

This fall has been filled with drastic changes in the weather. Our warm October turned into a cold, soggy November quickly. This brave senior embraced all that the weather had to offer. A muddy farm field just enhanced his backdrop.

I think that senior portraits should totally reflect who you are in the moment - and what you love. If you are trying to figure out what to wear for your senior pictures, go for what you feel comfortable in, what feels like “you”. Add the places and things that you enjoy - whether sports, hobbies or even farm equipment.

MORGAN | MACONAQUAH CLASS OF 2019

Bunker Hill, Indiana Senior Photography Session

Completely in love with this session and this senior! Morgan rocked his high school senior pictures and I am so thankful for the perfect autumn sunshine after days of rain. He did not have any expectations of location or posing but incorporating his family farm was an important requirement. I was thrilled with the beautiful glow from the fall leaves that are finally starting to turn colors, as well as the field grass and corn!

We had a great time hiking around the woods and through the field to find a nice location for our sunset session. This kid just looks so natural when he is smiling from ear to ear!

His mama just looooves the moody black and whites. Hopefully, they will both appreciate these images when they look back on his final year of high school. Congrats, Morg, you made it this far!

Margaret | Fall Outdoor Session

Can’t believe how much this young lady has changed in a year. I love that we got to showcase her natural beauty in a simple setting. Those eyes!

Although we photographed this outdoor session in unseasonably warm weather, this young lady did not disappoint! Her enthusiasm to go the extra mile to get the shot just left me in awe. I would not be surprised if she found a career in fashion or modeling.

Peru, Indiana Maternity Portrait Photography

The joys of anticipation radiates through out this maternity portrait session. We had a beautiful summer night at Mississinewa Reservoir to capture this family of three - about to be four! Mama is glowing and ready for her little one to arrive.

A Girl's Best Friend

This girl has it going on! It doesn't hurt that she happens to be my daughter and I just LOOOVE her. She requested a few pictures with her horse while at an open show. We found a nice quiet spot to spend a few minutes one-on-one in between events. Her horse Jewels is usually quite a ham in front of the camera.

Creativity in the Garden

Keeping my creative juices flowing isn't always easy - especially when life is so busy. I stepped out of the office the other afternoon to clear my head and headed to my happy place.

Profusion Zinnias with Yellow Butterfly | Sweet Pickins Studio Photography

While I'm juggling emails and software updates, doing the tedious work of running a small biz... THIS was going on right outside my door. I couldn't help but stop to smell the flowers.

I find inspiration in a lot of places. Nature never seems to disappoint. God has such an attention to detail. Color, texture and form ...

Thanks to Garden Gate Greenhouse for all the beautiful magic going on in my garden!

As I was snapping away at the butterflies covering the zinnias, this little guy swooped down to cautiously observe from atop of a yucca plant.

Yellow Profusion Zinnias

Hope you enjoyed a walk through my happy place!
