Family Time! The Walton's | Terre Haute Indiana Wedding Photographer

Meet Chrystal. Meet Gresian. Meet their 4 Kiddos. :)



See, don't they look like they'd be fun to hang out with! I actually think Gresian was laughing at me... I think he thought it was silly.. hehe.. look what a fun picture it made! See Gresian, you had fun!

I have known Chrystal for a LONG time.. since her oldest was around 6ish. It's always nice to see familiar faces and comforting knowing your friends and family want you to photograph their family. :)
Here's one to make you smile!

Hey, Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Much Love!

Justin+Jennifer | Terre Haute Indiana Wedding Photographer

I had the wonderful pleasure of taking Justin and Jennifer's engagement photos! I am doing their wedding in July, and they just decided to have engagements (you know how I love engagements!)  I even learned how to air up my own tire! :) oh, the things you learn on a photoshoot.

Justin and Jennifer are sooo in love. If fact, they have waited a really long time to get married! I am really honored to be a part of their big day! Hope you love them!



This place... was a building in Rockville Indiana. I slightly moved a board so we could use the steps (just a little) and the owner pulls up. hehe..but, he was really nice and told us all about how someone 'shot out that window over there coming out of the bar' We went around to the front and saw that window.. It is a real shame though, the building is GREAT for photos. :)


I am pretty sure their babies are going to have the most gorgeous eyes EVER!

See, I told you, absolutely in love. and stunning might I add.



Find a building with one of Justin's favorite things on it? Check and mark!!


This photo right here, is my favorite from the whole session.. It shows love, fun, happiness. Thanks guys, and I hope you enjoy.the.view :) 
Much Love!

Bobbie Baby Belly | Terre Haute Indiana Wedding Photographer

I always have the pleasure of doing my sisters photos. I may seem as if I hate it at the time, but deep down I enjoy it. I love the fact that she (and all my family) trust me to do their photos. That must be saying something, right? :)

She gets to my house and right away shows me her baby items with excitement. I can tell she is ready to have Mr. Lachlan! So I picked out this little onesie I thought would make a cute photo and it turned out great!


I love how she can look so great and casual pregnant. She is the most beautiful pregnant person ever. I know, I am a little biased.. but what can I say.. she does look like me ;o)




We got to try out some new backdrops I have. So it was a rough start, but it's always fun and I love spending the time with her.


Much Love

Blogging Again! | Terre Haute Indiana Wedding Photographer

So, It's so hard to keep up with a blog. I am going to make it a habit this time. Promise.

This new year has had a lot of new things come my way! In Feb. I went to WPPI in Las Vegas. I had a great time going to classes and just seeing Vegas in general! I mean, how ofter can some of us say we've been to Vegas??  I plan to make it a yearly thing!  This Sunday I am doing my first ever bridal show. That has had me working on a lot of prep for about 2 weeks. I think I'm ready and hope I book some weddings!!





My goal this year is to have 20 weddings and at least 50 sessions!  I am working more toward engagement and wedding than portrait, but still don't mind doing portraits. Right now I have 10 weddings booked and a hand full of sessions. SO hopefully this show will speed somethings up for me. :)

My husband and I started Dave Ramsey's total money makeover. We are hoping that in a year or two he can quit his current job and find a less time consuming one. That is the ultimate goal here because family is the most important thing to me!

I am making my schedule for only 2 sessions a week and only on Sundays. That is the only day that works best for me. Hopefully it will work for my wonderful clients as well. I am saving Saturdays for weddings now in hopes of filling them!! I am no longer working NOV-FEB because it's winter, and well mainly it's cold and nasty. I am doing mostly on location now, so that doesn't really fit anymore.

I hope everyone is having a great week and have a good weekend!!

Much Love!
