Sumwalt Kids | Lifestyle shoot

Dupot Hospital, Fort Wayne Indiana | Thea

I got to visit the sweetest family ever at the hospital back in June! Thea was welcomed by so many loving friends and family! I love Fresh 48 sessions so much! 

And then there were.... | Buchan Family

I have been just itching to share these photos! But of course, I had to wait until the word was out that our friends were expecting their first baby in January before posting!! When I got the text about these pictures I was pretty stoked for it to happen. Chelsea made this sign HERSELF - (dang, girl... talent!) and we waited until sunset to capture these shots! 

Now I am waiting on maternity photos, newborn photos etc! So thankful to be apart of this sweet moment of them announcing the newest member of the Buchan family! Enjoy these <3 

Clear Lake, Angola Indiana | Anzini Family

I felt as though we had been waiting for this session, forever! Allison messaged me to capture some memories of her beautiful family but then due to weather and scheduling, we had to rebook a couple of times! So when the time finally came for us to do these I was so excited! These kids are just so sweet and full of energy! We took these to Clear Lake where they go every summer, the kids loved the island there and so did I <3 They were so kind to us that they invited both Cain and myself over earlier in the day so we could enjoy the water.... and boy did we! 

Enjoy this session! 

Fort Wayne, Indiana | Price Girls

The beauty of these girls came from the inside out, truly could not get over their sweet spirits and kind hearts. They are loved beyond measure. I knew it from the start, the way their parents spoke to them, their words to each other were sweet, loving and kind. They laughed and had true joy. 

I was praying the whole time that I would be able to capture just a little bit of that joy, to show the love that these girls have and show their hearts. I am so so thankful for the friends I meet from doing photography. There are days that it can be hard to make everyone happy and I know that not everyone can be happy. But when I see a mom almost in tears because I am capturing her sweet girls, to me that's when I know what I am doing is so worth it and what I do matters <3

This post is long but so worth it to go to the end, some sweet moments below <3 

Fort Wayne, Indiana | Tony + Courtney + Kinsley

If you have been on my blog before you might recognize this beautiful family! Anytime that we get the chance we love spending a evening with Tony, Courtney and Kinsley. This evening it was so beautiful I asked if we could take pictures! Courtney willing said yes, (she says she will never say no to more pictures of Kinsley!) so we heading out as the sun was setting. 

I am so thankful for their friendship and we have LOVED watching Kinsley continue to grow. I can't help but smile when I look over these photos again, so so sweet. 

Bluffton, Indiana | Brittney Maternity Session

I was so excited when Brittney reached out to me about Maternity and Newborn photos! I can not believe how long ago this seems! These were taken back in May! I know, I can hear you know "Lanette why has it taken so long to post!?" I'm sorry sorry, I know I need to get better! 

Since May Brittney and Jacob welcomed baby Handley into the world. I will be sharing her newborn session soon! 

Bluffton, Indiana Children's Photography | Clouse Kids

Pinching myself at how blessed I am! I have the most adorable and loving, fun and silly friends/clients to photograph!

I love both <3

Bluffton, Indiana Newborn Session | Peyton + Kayden

I have been working on this session all week and I'm finally so happy to be sending the gallery off to this lucky momma of two! Yes two, as in two sweet and perfect twins! I can remember the first time I photographed twins I was so nervous but now I have done it a couple of times and it seems to be getting easier! 

Also, these two were just as sleepy and just all around perfect for the whole session! I love photographing all babies but twins are just so special <3

Fort Wayne, Indiana Lutheran Hospital Fresh "48" Session | Michaela Grace

On Saturday morning I was able to meet the newest member of the Fischbach family! These moments you just can't get back. The first time these siblings got to meet and hold their little sister will forever be treasured through these photographs. I love my job and everything I get to do for families! Seriously could not ask for a better way to spend my days <3 

If you are due this year and would like to have these moments photographed, let me know :)

I can't believe I forgot to share this blog post back in November! I have the hardest time keeping up with blogging in the busy season!! Sarah is the SWEETEST, KINDEST and LOVING girl.
