The Karneys

What fun I had with this family.  I have known Kendra since high school, so when she contacted me about doing some family portraits, I was very excited. It was nice to see her and all of her siblings who were in town for the holiday.  I just love connecting with friends and seeing how their families have grown over the years.  Capturing these special moments for them was very rewarding.  Thanks Karrney family for letting me share your holiday.

The Cromwell's

I first met the Cromwell's through mutual friends almost five years ago.  Since then I have slowly been introduced to their extended family.  Last fall I took some portraits of Jeff and Whitney's children, Tanner and Lily.  We had a great time finding the perfect location at Lake Merdian Park.  So when Whitney asked if I could take some family portraits, I was excited to get the whole gang together.  This time we met at Flaming Geyser State Park where we found some really picturesque spots. Thank You Cromwell's for allowing me to capture some family memories for you!

Baby Adler

Meet baby Adler Atkins (AKA Jett)!!  I first documented this family's journey last Fall, when I took pictures of baby Adler's parents for their engagement. Later, I was granted the privilege of photographing his mother's maternity portraits.  Finally, when his parents asked me to shoot baby Adler's newborn portraits, I jumped at the opportunity. I had a great time, but I'm not sure Adler shared my enthusiasm. I'm pretty sure that he would have preferred that we not disturb him while he was sleeping.  He is a sweet little baby, and I can't wait to watch him grow and thrive.

Hard work does payoff.

Enter Tatum Fettig. She has worked for months to prepare for her fitness competition.  She was on a strict diet, and worked her butt off at the gym (literally)!  All the preparation paid off, because she came in first in her division and won for best poser. I was so excited when she asked me if I would document all her hard work with a photo session.  We had so much fun. She was up for anything, so it was a low-stress shoot and we got some great pictures.  She claims that this is a one time event and was eager to have photos to remember how all that hard work paid off.  I just hope that she ordered one hell of a pizza when it was all said and done!
