Love those little teeth :)  Brock stole my heart just over a year ago.  I still remember his Grandma calling me from the hospital to schedule his newborn session and he wasn’t even born yet!  I think my favorite memory of meeting Brock for the first time, just a week after that phone call, was watching his dad Chad hold him…and the look on his face.  I think I even talked about it then…the moment has stuck with me :)

Brock’s big brown eyes make me melt…and make me laugh when they’re full of mischief.  He’s going to be a lot of fun this summer running all over the place while mom and dad try and keep him out of everything…and I mean everything!  He had a fascination with a barrel filled with water during this session at Grandma’s house and had his mom Mandy not been holding his foot, Brock would have fallen in head first!

Had to get a few in Grandma W’s school bus!

Brock, you sure are a sweetie!  So glad your mom and dad allowed me the chance to watch you grow over the last year :)

A few months later and JD is all over the place ;)  The last time I visited him for a family session, he was just sitting up and soon grew tired enough to fall asleep on mom’s shoulder.  THIS time, he was hard to keep contained!  Like most little boys, JD sees his home as a giant jungle gym where something as simple as a leather sofa turns into a trampoline to vault himself from!  I was nervous more than once as I envisioned him rolling off onto the tile….better not to think about it!

Ugh, that dimpled chin just makes me smile :)  JD, wishing you another year filled with more fun than bumps and bruises!

When I first met with Autumn and Shaun to discuss their wedding, I distinctly remember Autumn sitting across from me and saying that the photographs were the most important thing to her and she was planning everything around them.

She had me at Hello.

They were married last fall at the Fort Wayne History Center downtown.  The weather was perfectly crisp and the day couldn’t have gone any smoother.  The ceremony was small and intimate and perfectly suited for Autumn and Shaun.  True to her word, Autumn didn’t even bat an eye when I suggested photographs in the basement (better known as the dungeon) which housed the first jail in the city over 100 years ago.  I love that my couples are literally game for whatever I may throw their way:)

A little last minute touch up before the ceremony…

Their first moment alone together after the ceremony….

Don’t they make the dungeon look glamorous?

Autumn and Shaun, it was an absolute pleasure sharing this day with you!  I hope it was everything you had hoped it would be..and more.
