Tyler | Class of 2013

My cousin Tyler was the ring bearer in my husband and I's wedding over 12 years ago. You can see him below, in the first picture - the little stud, in front of all the bigger studs. Well, today, that little boy is a senior in high school. And a handsome one at that! Crazy how time flies.

Had such a blast taking his senior pictures a few weeks ago - despite the crazy cold!

Congrats Tyler! :) ♥ I know you are bound for great things!!!

Proud mom and dad! :)

Kaehr Family | Bethel College | Mishawaka, IN

Meet John and Melissa. They're a beautiful young couple who just so happen to have one of the cutest little girlies who just turned 1! Hannah is a doll baby. And loves her parents to pieces!

Spent some time with them a few weeks ago, to commemorate the monumental milestone. And I must say, there were lots of laughs and lots of love. Thankful to be in this family's life! And thankful that I was privileged to capture such special moments! You guys are beautiful. :)

Downtown Beauty | Robert C. Beutter Park | Mishawaka, IN

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 BEAUTIFUL. It's magical really. The flowers, the water, the art ... rather gorgeous in EVERY way.

It's funny ... when you actually stop to look and take the time to see the beauty that surrounds you, you somehow realize that this world really isn't so bad. It's actually quite breathtaking.
