Family sessions are always so much fun for me. No two families are the same, and I love that! The individual personalities of each member of the family that seem to fit together and mold the way the family presents itself is always interesting to see. I try to tell corny jokes to get everyone […]

We have 11 months until we get married and I am so stinking excited!! 🙂 Planning for our big day has been interesting. Right after we got engaged we were crazy busy planning for about a week. Then, I suggested we take a week to just enjoy it. I wanted us to have some time to just be happy that we were taking this […]

I absolutely loved spending time with these boys on a brisk Sunday morning. They are both so full of energy and such a joy to be around. I have loved being able to document their little lives as they get bigger and bigger. I love the facial expressions of these two boys so much. They have […]

Fall 2016 has been a whirlwind of activities so far. Dinner’s at Grandma’s. Watching the little artist that is my nephew while he paints dinosaurs… and then asks me to spell their impossible names. Pumpkin patches and pumpkin carving. Halloween. I love the start of the busy fall and holiday season. Here’s a bit of […]

I know it’s just past Halloween, but it is time to book a limited edition holiday session! I am not trying to be like the big box stores that already have Christmas trees out, but it is time to consider getting some family photos done for Christmas cards. With the sessions done in early November, Christmas […]

I met with Maria and her family at her home on a warm Sunday evening. There was some gorgeous golden hour lighting filtering through the trees by the lake behind their home. I love the lighting in all of these photos. Just another reason golden hour is my favorite. 🙂 To book your family session, contact me […]

It has been an amazing journey to tell this sweet girl’s arrival. From the maternity session, to her birth, to her in-home newborn session, it has been incredible. I set up in front of some windows and opened all the blind to let in as much soft, natural light as I could. Baby Soendker was asleep when I […]

We had been in California for a few days enjoying the beach and participating in the Avon39 two-day walk. However, the morning of Monday, September 12, 2016, was the best part of the vacation – the day we became engaged. The entire weekend, Justin had to deal with question after question about when we were […]

While we were in California, I offered to do a mini session of sorts on the beach with the different members of the Tig Ol’ Bitties and their significant others. The whole Homfeld clan was in attendance, so we snapped a few family photos of them as well. Beach photos were completely different from what I had anticipated. As […]

The weekend after Labor Day, eight women from Lafayette County and various spouses and family members traveled to Santa Barbara, California to participate in the 2016 Avon 39. This is the second time we have walked in Santa Barbara, but other members of the Tig Ol’ Bitties have traveled to Chicago and Charlotte to participate […]
