Lanette's Photography 2016 | RECAP

WHAT A YEAR!!

This year was huge because a little of it was spent with me being a full-time photographer! - Although I have felt like I was full time for a few years now, I have always nannied alongside photography.

So starting in August I was only doing photography and it was a bit scary! I was counting on just photography to fill my part of the financial needs we have.

Blessings came overflowing - I was booked for almost 2 1/2 months straight! It was a little overwhelming but I could not complain! I was doing what I loved to do and it made it so much easier to cope with my husband being gone for 4 months since I had amazing people to photograph and keep me busy!

This year I witnessed another birth, I photographed families, seniors, couples, bellies, babies, growing kids, adoptions,  I even photograph Barbara Bradley at Vera Bradley!  But I think my favorite this year was photographing a Military Homecoming!

Dold Family | Fort Wayne

This was a beautiful day, beautiful family and just all around beautiful session! I was honored to photograph the Dold's back in January. Yes it was January and over 60 degrees and gorgeous out, can you believe it?! That is not normal, but so welcomed! 

Meet Lanie... She is as cute as she looks!  

And the cuteness begins..... :) 

Meet Charlie, the Dold's first "baby" ;) Fur baby that is! 

Going down town Fort wayne to capture a more "Urban" look.
Here is Lanie being a doll for pictures. Not sure what she was laughing about but I am just happy I was able to catch it :)

She is rocking the urban girl look ;)

Momma and Lanie ....... *heart melt

And the cuteness has taken over ..... I just LOVE this image! .... next one is my favorite though..... 

MY FAVORITE!

OKAY, WAIT.... Maybe this is my favorite.... hmmmm...

NO THIS ONE! Gahhh.... how does one pick?? I love all these special little moments.

Seriously, the cuteness is too much!

This was not planned or posed, it was a sweet natural moment between a mom and her daughter. Lanie was the sweetest little girl and you could tell she loved her momma.....

.....She loved her dad too. As you can see....

I just adore this image.  I put on my 30 year goggles (Bobbi's advice) and here I picture a little Lanie in years to come looking back on this photo and seeing the look she is giving her dad. It's so pure and you can see how much she is soaking up every word and thing he does! 

Idk, maybe just me but I hope I am able to capture raw moments like these forever! 

Always smile big Lanie, you are perfect!
