I love Chicago. It's one of those cities that I could venture to every weekend. There is a PICTURE everywhere you look. My husband and I were recently there for a Mutemath concert, and I must say - the city was beautiful. Something about it this time - maybe it was because I was with him. :) It was magical. Took a few photos, of course, while we were there - and wanted to share them. :) There

This is oh so sweet Joshua William. He's a precious baby boy, with such a sweet disposition. I was privileged enough to spend some time with him a few weeks ago, along with his gorgeous momma and older sister. What a precious family. A precious baby boy. :)

This is my precious and oh so gorgeous niece Madison Gabrielle. She just turned 13 a few weeks ago and also went to her first dance - with her dad. :) It's incredibly surreal to think she's actually 13 already! When I first met her, she was just coming home a few days after she was born - and my now husband and I were on our first date. Amazing how time flies - and how just simply gorgeous and

This is sweet Emma. She just turned 1 a few weeks ago, and we celebrated her birthday just a few days before. What a doll. A sweet girl, with an even sweeter disposition. Thankful to share in this special day, with such a special family. Happy Birthday sweet Emma Sue!

My niece Morgan just went to her first, semi-formal. She'll be 18 this year, but honestly, it's hard to believe she's 17 - let alone going to her first dance. She'll actually be a senior next year, heading off to college thereafter, and I must admit, it makes me a little teary eye'd just thinking about it. I was privileged to be able to do her makeup for her very first dance and I was so happy

I saw this video the other day. I couldn't help but STOP - WATCH - and LISTEN. It made me pause. And in this day and age, that's a rarity. Our lives have become increasingly busy. No time for many of the things we love - the people we love.We overlook the small things and in doing so, we miss out on some of the most important things this beautiful life has to offer. It's amazing that if we

This is Amber. Isn't she gorgeous?! Yes, yes she is. We had the privilege a few weeks ago, to photograph her, just because!  We teamed up with a fabulous vintage boutique clothing store, located in Elkhart, IN, ModCloset - go check them out if you LOVE vintage wear! It's so much fun to help a pretty girl, see how beautiful she really is. And this girl is a stunning beauty, INSIDE and OUT.

I used to write. A lot. It was one of those things that when I woke up in the morning, I thought about. When I went to bed at night, I would dream of writing. One of my goals, when I was in college was to write a book before I turned 30. I sure did have high hopes. I sure thought I would make it. Well, 30 came and went. I'm going on 32 now. I think back, to those years leading up to 30 - I always

Meet sweet little Anna. Also known as 'Lil' Miss Bean' by her mommy and daddy. :) She is a little beauty - a little sweetie pie. Her mommy and daddy are completely smitten by her. My sis and I had the privilege of spending some time with sweet Anna and her mommy and daddy last week - and what a wonderful time we had! And we must say - little Anna's room was the cutest room we've ever seen! Her

So I'm a few days behind in posting this. It's definitely a challenge to sift through thousands of photos from this past year, and pick out a few favorites. There are so many favorites. It was such an amazing year! We simply cannot wait for what's ahead in 2012.  So, without further rambling, here are some favorites from 2011, in no particular order. While we tried to include EVERYONE, we

It's been an amazing year. One that we'll never forget. One with many moments and memories that we'll cherish for many years to come. {We'll soon have a 'Year in Review', so be on the lookout for that in the next week!} :-D We can't wait for all of the exciting things we'll experience in 2012, yet we'll savor the moments of 2011, while we still can, in these last few hours of the year!

What a year. What a beautiful year. We cannot even express the amazing moments we've experienced this year. Plus, the amazing people we've met. It's strange to think 2011 is nearing an end. Yet looking back, it's so encouraging to see where we were at, and where we're going. God is good. The year has had it challenges, its ups and downs, failures, successes - moments, we'll never forget.

Have you ever thought about the reason why you’re here? I mean really, honestly, sat down and thought about what it is you were put on this earth for? And, with that, have you thought about why you’re still here? I think about this a lot, all the time actually... Some of you may know, my partner in business is my little sister. But I also have a twin sister too - along with another little sister

We had the VERY special privilege to photograph the Walk family a few weeks ago - and oh what fun we had! This family is special, in so many ways - and we could definitely tell they have TONS of fun together. :) Nothing like having ALL of 'the family' in one place, at one time! And we must say, they are ALL quite beautiful, inside and out.

I'm amazed at how time has flown by. I think about this past year, and in many ways, it seems like a whirlwind. My son was born December 12th, 2010 - the time was 4:21pm. My water broke on a Sunday morning, around 6am - I was thinking how insanely crazy it was that we were actually having a baby. And when that time came - woah - I was scared. My husband, being the strong man he is, was also a

The Kovach's are dear friends and I must say, they're incredibly adorable and so much fun to be around. We ventured out in the frigid temperatures a few weeks ago, to snap a few family photos and what troopers! They make cold look good! ;) Their little one Orion is a little charmer and their oldest Jaxon is such a little gentleman - and Matt and Michelle - they are oh so sweet in so many ways.

It's amazing how time goes at this warp speed. It's like you have these plans, and things you want to accomplish, but time some how, always interferes. When I was 'growing up', the only thing I ever thought about was 'growing up'. Why at such a young age, do we want to 'grow up'? I ask myself that question - a lot. The days seem endless when we're young. Now, they pass by us, at lightning speed.

They're some of our dearest and nearest friends. Their two beauties, Macie and Emma are little dolls. You can most certainly tell how much they all simply adore and love each other. It's quite infectious. These

John and Kara were married on a beautiful fall day in October. They married in a small, quaint church, in Niles, MI and had their closest family and friends there to witness their 'moment'. How lucky we were to capture such a beautiful pair, so incredibly in love. The two have been a pair since middle school - and after many years of 'collecting' memories and special moments, they shared their

We had such a blast with the Johnson family a few weekends ago in downtown South Bend. The weather was quite unpredictable, but what troopers, even with precious newborns! The entire family was in town, for various events and since there were new babies added to the family, a new family picture was in order! We were incredibly privileged to be able to capture them during such a special time -

We ventured around South Bend a few weekends ago, to find some colorful spots to snap some family photos! They welcomed little Joey last November, so they wanted to get an 'updated' shot, with their new addition! This family ADORES each other -

I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful, precious family. I've known Cindi and Will for many years. Not only are they AMAZING people, but they're also OUTSTANDING parents to their gorgeous little ones, Paul and Emily - and soon to be new addition! We ventured out to St. Patrick's Park a few Sundays ago, and had a blast capturing some fun moments. Cindi was radiant as ever - oh so

It's amazing how time has flown by this year. So many ups and downs. Beautiful moments. Scary moments. Tears. Love. Failure. Success. Doubt. I play back the months, over and over sometimes. I think to myself, 'I could have done this better.' Or, 'I should have done this, and not that.' While I have no regrets, I think to myself sometimes, 'why couldn't I have done that differently?' It's funny

They would bring a smile to anyone's face, and I must say, they're all amazingly photogenic!

I had a really special honor last Saturday, to photograph an event that brings to the surface a really tough subject: suicide.  This was the first time an event like this took place in the South Bend area, and I was really humbled to be able to be a part of it. Out of the Darkness Community Walks happen all over the country. They're directly associated with the American Foundation for

Carrie and I met through Model Mayhem. And I'm oh so glad we met! :) She is such a sweetheart and gorgeous! She is a PURE natural in front of the camera too! Really enjoyed getting to know her and roam the streets of South Bend to take her picture! Thanks Carrie for such a great time!

This is the beautiful Hipskind family, Amber and Dave, and their sweet boys, Elijah, Owen and Reuben. I've known Dave and Amber for quite some time, but only recently had the privilege of meeting their sweet boys. And OH SO SWEET they are. And such naturals in front of the camera! We met up a few weeks ago, in downtown South Bend for a fun little family session - and what a blast we had! The

This is the beautiful Tomczak's family, Meg, Lanie and Todd. I met them almost a year ago, at Meg's sister Alison's wedding. Lanie wasn't walking just yet - but was so sweet - and still is a cutie! And walking now! What a sweet family they are. Beautiful and radiant too. :) They're expecting another little one in just a few short weeks, a boy this time! What a pleasure it was to capture them

Kelly and Jim were married on a beautiful Saturday a few weekends ago. The weather however, was the oddest I've ever seen. It began HOT and sticky. But as the ceremony time approached, the winds began to pick up and the sky darkened a bit. It rained right before Kelly walked down the aisle. That made for a nervous bride - however, she was amazingly radiant nonetheless. :) The rain only lasted

I had the VERY special privilege a few weeks ago, to snap some photos of the beautiful, and glowing Jessica, and her sweet, so-in-love with her hubby, Brandon. These two were so incredibly sweet with each other - with such genuine interaction. Brandon is a member of the Army Reserves and the happy couple have been married for three years! We met at a favorite spot of theirs. One where they

September 11, 2001 is a day I will never forget. Like most of you, I'm sure you remember where exactly you were, what exactly you were doing, and how exactly you felt. It's overwhelming to think about - even now, 10 years later. I also remember the day after. There was so much sadness - so much grief. Yet, in a way, there was a unity that I've never felt. Not only amongst my family and friends,

I'm taking part in a project I just so happened to see on Facebook - I'm so happy I saw it. It's a two-week project for photographers who are in need of desperate rejuvenation, and inspiration. It's the Expose Yourself Project and it's a series of thought-provoking challenges. While I wish I had more time to devote to it, I already feel inspired ... not only by the challenges, but also by the

I love doors - and stairways. I often wonder the 'story' behind them - not sure why - I've just been fascinated by them for years. So, I figured I'd start a project 'featuring' them. Wherever, whenever - just simply the doors and stairs in everyday life. While random, I know, I really believe every doorway, every stairway has a story - leading someone, somewhere.

Life is such a beautiful thing. I look around sometimes and marvel in the small things - the things I most often take for granted. I feel so overwhelmingly blessed most days - but I'll admit, some days I'm overcome by the things out of my control. While I wish I could understand why things happen the way they do, sometimes there just aren't answers. Things just happen - we unfortunately have no

Dawn and Brian married on a beautiful day in June. Their ceremony was small and quaint, with their closest friends and family. They actually married on the wedding anniversary of Dawn’s mom and dad, who have been married for 50 years. What special moments were shared during the traditional, Catholic ceremony at St. Joseph Cathedral on the campus of St. Mary’s College. The sun shined bright, as

It's amazing how moments pass us by. I often think about moments I've seen come and go. If I'm honest, there have been quite a few in my life time. I hate that feeling. I think sometimes we get so caught up in life's struggles - daily worries - we forget to notice what's right in front of us. We forget to realize that we've been blessed with a new day - to perhaps, make up for some of those LOST

They're precious girls and not only am I privileged to know them, but I'm also so blessed to call their parents FRIENDS. These young ladies are who they are today, because of their parents.

John and Kara are a special couple. They've been together for nearly 16 years and they're tying the knot in October! I've been privileged to know the pair since high school and am completely honored that they chose us to capture their special day! A few weekends ago, we ventured out to Notre Dame for their engagement photos - and what troopers they were! They braved some intense heat, climbed

I had a very special honor last week, to talk with students about two loves of my life: writing + photography. I used to work with Jenny at WNDU and we became pretty close - even after our jobs led us two different directions. She currently teaches at Ivy Tech - the Elkhart campus. She asked me to come chat with her students about my writing career, along with my pursuit of photography. I get

How amazing it is that God knows us so well, He knows exactly what and who we need at exactly the right time. I’ve been recently amazed by some of the people that I’ve been fortunate enough to have encounters with. They make me realize the beauty of PEOPLE and the power of human contact. With my 'DAY job', I don’t have much of that. I miss that interaction with people, real people. It’s nice to

So I’m thinking about Independence Day - the Fourth of July - what it ALL truly means. We live in a country where we can have the freedom to do as we wish; the freedom of speech to say what we want; the freedom to be who we are and not have to worry about being condemned in any way for it. It’s amazing to me that we have such freedoms, yet so many times, we take it for granted. I’m so thankful

There’s just something about weddings that make me happy. Maybe it’s the beautiful details of it all – perhaps it’s the grandeur of the location – or maybe it’s the colors and the attire. Or maybe it’s something else entirely. Quite honestly, I think it has EVERYTHING to do with the LOVE. LOVE is a beautiful thing. It changes us – makes us better people – most often, brings out the BEST in us.

Funny how yesterday becomes 10 years ago. Time flies these days. Ever so fast. Much faster than I’d like. But, how grateful I am to have time. Even if it’s just one more day. Sometimes my tangents are ‘time’ related. It’s one of those elements of life that bewilders me. Makes me think ‘WOAH, life is to short’. I think about that a lot. LIFE. How short it really is. Simply, I just want to embrace

Love is beautiful. Love is kind. Love is patient. Love holds no boundaries. Love is well, love. : ) It's a beautiful thing to capture the love of two people - a love that is so genuine, carefree, WHOLE. Stefanie and Jack are so in LOVE. We could tell from the moment they saw each other on their wedding day. They're the kind of pair you look at and say, 'Yep, they're going to make it.' It's a

Such a crazy journey we're all one. It's a beautiful one, don't get me wrong - just can be a whirlwind some days. A beautiful, out of control motion ... And, well, time is a whole other phenomenon - it's amazing how fast 'it' goes - how life goes in this spiraling, out of control motion at moments. However, I've always thought that it's the MOMENTS that make life so AMAZING. It's a few days

When we first met Tiffany, we instantly connected. Not only is she gorgeous, but she's got an amazingly FUN personality and a beautiful heart. I met Jason a few weeks later, at their engagement shoot, and I must say, I could instantly tell these two were in LOVE. They had so much fun together - and their interaction was incredibly genuine. Their wedding day wasn't any different. When they first

Life is such a roller coaster sometimes. There are moments where you’re going up, up, up – and moments when you’re going down, down, down. I have to admit, I’m not fond of the ride at times. However, I’m grateful to be on it too. This week my sister Erin leaves for Denver. For quite some time, she’s wanted to leave South Bend – pursue her goals, her dreams in a place where creativity seems to

The joy of a child is contagious. I just LOVE the energy, spirit, LIFE they have, pretty much ALL the time. It's a beautiful thing.

It feels like just yesterday we were in the hospital, waiting for his arrival. He was the FIRST grandchild and what JOY he brought and

There really are no guarantees in life. Sometimes, you just have to take those giant leaps of faith and HOPE and PRAY that they were the right ones. After all, you have this ONE life - this ONE chance to do something GREAT. While I must admit, those 'leaps' are sometimes the scariest moments in one's life, they can also be the most rewarding. In recent days, I've been pondering this decision to

I remember, when I was a little girl, I often thought about the GREAT things that I wanted to do. For so long in my youth, I wanted to GET OUT of South Bend; I always thought that this place had nothing for me. I wanted to move to a BIG CITY somewhere, anywhere - any place but here. However, as I grew up, got married, finished college, became a parent, and began my pursuit for these ‘GREAT’

It really is a joy to be able to bring out the BEST in people. It's one of the amazing things that we get to do behind the camera. It's our goal, each and every time we photograph someone, to make them not only feel comfortable, but also beautiful. Most often, people can't see how beautiful they are. We are so conditioned to think that if we don't look a certain way, match a certain style, or

We LOVE when the season’s changes - they're just one of the AMAZINGLY beautiful things we have the privilege of experiencing in this beautiful state. So, we’re celebrating the arrival of spring, by giving away a FREE session! That’s right, FREE! Whether you want to get the whole family together for a family session, snap some photos of you and your honey, or just get some shots to model your

It's been a few weeks since I've blogged. A little behind - I'm sorry my friends! With being a new mom and going back to my full-time job, things have been well, busy! However, I love life - and I simply LOVE being a mom. It's the GREATEST joy of my life. It's one of those things that I just cannot describe in words. I imagine all you moms out there feel the same way. :) Anyway, it's a

There are often times, here in this great nation we call home, that we get to busy and forget about the men and women who have made it possible for us to live FREE, to live our dreams. We lose sight of the fact that not only are these men and women fighting on the front lines, but they've also had to leave behind their family and friends back home. Military families are often forgotten about -

It's amazing how moments change you. How 'life' makes you so much more aware of what it is you're truly here for. While time passes so quickly, it's the moments that make you realize that life is beautiful - in many more ways than one. My husband and I had our first baby in December. The date was December 12th and the time was 4:34pm. He was a big boy - 9 pounds, 7 ounces. I shake my head

Chicago is one of those places that no matter the time of day or time of year, there is always something worthy of photographing. It's like many big cities - everywhere you look serves as a blank canvas for your lense. It's easy to be inspired by a place like Chicago - there is so much beauty and history. It's a place where you can go and get lost in the magnificence of what's right in front of

It's not everyday that you get to play in the snow and get to take pictures while doing so! We had the opportunity to have some snow day fun with some gorgeous gals a few weeks ago at Oxbow Park in Elkhart, IN. Sophia and Amalie are sisters and Kit is their older cousin - and what joy they brought to each other! Their families were in town for the holidays and their grandma wanted some fun

What a year it's been - triumph, failure, success, growth - quite a beautiful collage I think. I have been blessed beyond comprehension, and I am reminded of the amazing moments that made up 2010 - the most amazing being the birth of my son, Eli Joseph Allison. He's quite the stud :-). He gets his good looks from his daddy! There have been so many other amazing moments along the way - including

My sister and business partner, Erin is one of those people that just have natural talent. She was definitely born with a God given gift to be able to take something so ‘messy’ and ‘ugly’ on the outside (at least what the ‘normal’ eye would say is messy and ugly), and make it not only beautiful, but overwhelmingly breathtaking. Sure, I can say all of these things because she’s my sister. But, it

A few weekends ago, we photographed a beautiful pair, Alison and Adam. At their reception, we had the privilege to listen to and photograph an amazing musician, Dan Allen. He's the type of musician that you could listen to any time, anywhere, any day! Check out his music and his wedding and event DJ company, DJ DA Mobile Entertainment. You won't be disappointed! Here are a few shots from his

Love is lovely. That’s all there is to it. It’s an amazing feeling to love and to be loved – and one can only know those feelings if they choose to give love and then love in return. Last Saturday, we were able to celebrate with a beautiful pair, who you could definitely tell shared equal admiration for each other. We met Alison and Adam back in March. And they were one of those couples that

It’s funny how life throws you curve balls. While I think it can drive a person mad when those happen, I think those unexpected things also make you VERY aware of what’s in front of you and all of the AMAZING blessings in one’s life. On Friday, October 15th, my dad was in a motorcycle accident. When I heard the news, I was a little taken aback. My dad actually called me from the emergency room.

It's been a few weeks. We apologize. Sometimes life gets a little hectic, you just then have to sit back, take a breath, and really, take each day, each moment at a time. It's a beautiful thing, life. A few weeks ago, we were lucky enough to snap a few photos of our precious cousins, Cody, Cameron and Chase. While they made us work for their smiles, they were so much fun to be around. They have

I was thinking about the road ahead today. Sometimes there is so much uncertainty – so many ‘unanswered’ questions that constantly race through our minds. I wish there was an OFF button – but perhaps that would lend us to NOT dream the dreams that make life worth living. I think EVERYONE has a dream; that ‘thing’ inside of them that keeps them going – that keeps them waking up each day and saying

It's amazing how a single moment can bring so much joy and inspiration. Sometimes those moments are hard to come by, but when they do, they completely knock your socks off! Yesterday was one of those moments. My little sis and I had the privilege of attending the WPPI Road Tour in Chicago and got to hear and meet some amazing photographers. The highlight of the day came at the end of the show,

It's been a few weeks. We are sorry about that. With our other jobs and the craziness of life, sometimes we tend to forget about the things that really make us happy. Like writing and photographing! :-) Anyway, my most amazing, talented husband Jason is building his own recording studio in downtown South Bend. While there is still much work to do, it's getting closer and closer to being done -

It’s amazing how love can change you. When I was a kid, I remember moments when my parents were happy ... truly happy. And … I remember moments when happiness was far away … far, far away. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized the ‘genetics’ or the ‘DNA’ that I’ve been given, and I’ve learned those good ‘genes’ and the not so good ‘genes'. I believe my parents did the best they could … they

I think we all have these ideas of what our lives are going to be like when we are young. We think becoming a ‘grown-up’ is going to make life ALL better; perhaps make like a little easier…OH…if we only knew. I think the reality of it is we don’t really anticipate the disappointment that life can bring…AND…with that…we don’t anticipate the BLESSING that life can be either… Sometimes it seems

Embracing the differences that make us who we are is sometimes a difficult thing. While I believe everyone has beauty in their own, unique ways - many of us don't really recognize it in ourselves. My sister Erin and I recently had the privilege of photographing Nick. He has a unique condition called Heterochromia Iridis, which basically means he has two different color eyes. While some might

An idea? Hmm … what is it really? Is it only a thought? Personally, I think 'raw ideas' are essentially, dreams that are resurfacing ... it's kinda' like when in our youth, we have these profound ideas, an epiphany if you will, of our lives when we are ‘all grown up’. We dream big when we are younger … when we have NO idea whatsoever of what it will take to make that dream come true … yet,

We enjoy scouting out new locations to photograph our clients. And while South Bend has its beautiful spots, it's nice to venture outside of South Bend to scope out other locations. I was recently in Mishawaka and decided to stop by Beutter Park. I had never been there - but we planned a shoot there in a few weeks and I decided to check it out before the shoot. Boy, am I glad I did. It was

We held a drawing a few weeks for a free photo session. Just a way to give back to our patrons and take a few more pictures in the process! The lucky winners were Briannia and Josh! They are dedicated parents and deserved a little break to enjoy some time together. We snapped their photos down by the East Race - and while the sun was blazing, this adorable pair were troopers. They had some

Love is such a special thing. It's quite remarkable how it can change us for the better - most often love gives us the opportunity to believe in something outside of ourselves. When I first met Alison, it was through an email. She contacted me a few months ago about her upcoming wedding to her sweetheart Adam. I could instantly tell that she was so in love. Funny how love can do that - even

Life is all about the moments that make it up. Sure, we don't know what lurks around the corner from day to day, but I like to think there is some order - some purpose in those moments. After all, those 'moments' are what make life worth living. While change typically comes with years, moments change, people change - I still think change is a good thing. Often times it can be so overwhelming.

So, you might wonder what’s the deal with our name? Maybe? Some people have asked – perhaps others have wondered. So we figure we’ll put the wonderment to rest here. Erin and I are of course sisters, but coming up with a name was a daunting task for us. We wanted to select something unique – something that defined us. We probably wrote down 100 different names. A friend of my sister’s was
