Schmelka Family
After a couple of rescheduled times due to weather I had a break and was able to do portraits for the Schmelka family the other day at Fullersburg woods. I had a blast photographing this family (and their dog) and am happy to post a few of my favorites from their session. Enjoy!

Cindy and Noah
While I didn’t get to photograph Cindy and Noah’s wedding last year because of covid I am so happy that I still get to photograph their other life events. They are expecting their baby boy in May and asked me to take their maternity portraits to capture this time in their lives. Here’s a few of my favorites from our session the other day. Thank goodness we’ve had several warm days in a row!

Doherty Family
I’m still squeezing in a few more outdoor sessions this month! I did photos for the Doherty family last week at one of my favorite spots in the area, Fullersburg Woods. It was wonderful spending an hour with them and getting all the different family groupings (and some candids, too!). I can’t wait to show them all the photos. This session was a birthday present for their mom. Happy Birthday!!
