These four are always entertaining :)  Siblings Gabe and Mackenzie along with siblings Zeb and Sadie make up the cousins Schaadt.  I always adore these four when they get together.  Gabe and Mackenzie live in Canada and during their last two summer visits to Indiana, I have had the pleasure of hanging out with them for an evening.  There is SO much personality in this group and honestly, they lead the show and I’m lucky just to keep up :)

The always adorable Sadie above…and her sweet cousins Gabe and Mackenzie below. 

Zeb and his missing front teeth crack me up ;)  I loved when my kids had this exact smile!

Because isn’t this how we REALLY are with our siblings ;)

Seniors > May 15, 2012

I’m still prepping to blog so many seniors from this past year and when I begin to write each post, I keep having the same thought…..I photograph some of the most beautiful people.  Yes, physical beauty if easily recognized and yes, they ARE SO BEAUTIFUL in that regard….but I am talking about the good stuff…the stuff on the inside.  I’m not kidding, these kids are so much more than I ever even thought of being in high school.  They’re kind and considerate;  they treat me with respect but still have fun too.  They’re such good people.  I am excited to see what the future has in store for each of them.

Hannah came along with her mom with an attitude of “do whatever you want” and so we did!  Hannah has an amazing smile and was a joy to work with-I think all these episodes of Top Model these girls watch pay off…they just know what to do ;)

Oh my goodness.  Seriously.  I am so jealous of those perfect teeth :D

Hello, gorgeous girl!  I swear, she can’t take a bad photograph!

Hannah, I LOVED our evening together!  Thanks so much :)

welcome graham!
Portraits, Children, First Year > May 14, 2012

I photographed Graham’s 3 month session a week ago…and just today I realized I hadn’t shared these!!!  Graham is the newest addition to the Colclasure household..and little brother to Deyton who I believe was my very  FIRST weeds baby :)  Over Deyton’s first year, I always enjoyed my girl chat visits sessions spent comparing stories of mommy-hood with Kelly.  When she told me they were expecting boy #2, I was so excited for their growing family….and maybe a little excited too about adding our afternoon visits back into my calendar for the next year ;)

At first glance, I was convinced that Graham looked just like his big brother did at birth….but he’s changed so much in the last three months! The definitely look like brothers, but also very different from each other.

Love this family shot of Kelly and Seth with their boys :)

Deyton is now two…and VERY active!  He was all about jumping on the bed (after I told him it was OK!).  Now, getting him to sit close to his little brother was a bit more of a challenge ;)

His sleepy little smirk and dimpled chin :)

Kelly had the request during Deyton’s first year to photograph him at every session with Dad’s basketball…it’s a great way to show how much they have grown!  We wanted to do it again with Graham and couldn’t believe he actually let us do this….

Kelly (and Seth ;) ), thanks so much for opening up your home and once again sharing your beautiful children with me.  I am honored to be a part of their first year and as always love my visits with you ;)
