With summer heating up (literally!) I am out of the house more than we are in the house lately, with sports leagues and weddings, families and babies, and ALL THE THINGS our kiddos are involved in. It's one of my absolute favorite times of the year, but dang is this midwest heat wave kicking my b***y! I don't take on much over the summer for that very reason...but when they turn out like this I can't resist!
Two weeks until we celebrate these sweet souls who started out as "my kids" in the classroom, and I can't wait to see them join together as one!

Congratulations to the amazing King's Court Youth Basketball teams this year! They've been so fun to watch, and they sure had a great smile seeing their huge banners on the wall this morning! Great job kiddos!
(Feel free to save and share these, parents, they are web-sized so if you need a printable one shoot me an email!)
If you have any questions about your photo packets, or didn't get yours picked up at the school or from your coach, or you need to get some more - reach out! Here's my number and email, thanks!

Kings Court parents - I can’t wait for your kiddos to see their surprise in the morning! Basketball orders will be at the Union Mills gym tomorrow for pickup so make sure to grab your order out of the box. They’re sorted by team and have the child’s name on the packet unless there were multiple orders for the same child then they have child/parent name too. Emails will be in your inbox with digital file downloads and a heads up if your order is in the second round so you don’t have to search around Saturday.
(If you ordered within this past week they’ll be in on Monday, and some of the memory mates will also be in on Monday - check your email if you don’t see your child’s name on one of the packages in the box!)

Tonight both of the Warhawk teams face off at home for their next round of regional games! Show these kids some support if you can and get on out to the school or cheer them on from home!

Side note - If you've ever just wanted to live in Mayberry, or Stars Hollow, or that quintessential small town where you can just feel all of the nostalgia and wonderful people to raise your kiddos around - got it! Walking around town today you could just feel everyone have a big sigh of relief at being out and about and "normal" which we have all NEEDED so much! Thanks NSSF Committee for all of the insane hard work you put into this!!

When it rains out your "pretty outdoor" birthday photo session, you make it work!
How to create the perfect little boy birthday wall hanging:
1. Ask said boy to tell you his favorite superheroes.
2. Listen to said boy tell you 45 minutes worth of stories about his superheroes and show you ALL of his favorite superhero toys.
3. Have him show off his favorite superhero toys and poses.
4. Send the portrait to his mama and catch his "awesome!!" reaction!

Hey Awesome Clients!
I am needing to create some more space in my gallery service, so any galleries older than January 2020 will be archived at the end of the day on Saturday - if you need to do any downloading please do so before then!
(They won't be deleted, I'll always have them in storage, they just won't be available on the gallery website anymore.)

With weddings over for the year (finally!) I found a schedule gap to fit in some Christmas minis and am opening scheduling this evening!! Blush is partnering with The Venue on Vine and Memory Lane Rentals to put on a TRIPLE setup event!!! I don’t want to give away all the goods so one set will be kept sort of secret but you’ll LOVE it! Come to one place, get your Christmas card photos and some awesome family portraits for those loved ones that are hard to find gifts for - photos are always a great idea!!

Set1: “Farmhouse Christmas” - wooden arch, flocked Christmas greenery, white poinsettias, white drapery on arch, white fur rug for some sitting poses (optional)
Set2: “Barn Doors” -rustic dark wood barn door backdrop, fully decorated Christmas tree on either side, hanging Christmas lights overhead for a great glow!
Set3: “Christmas Jammies” - mostly whites and emerald greens with a few rustic wooden touches, full sized bed with white/ivory pillows and quilts, many optional pillow changes in other Christmas patterns, candy canes and hot cocoa mugs! This is my FAVORITE Christmas session to do, these are always a big hit to print out for gifts for grandparents!!

Lastly: if you’re wanting them for Christmas cards editing will be expedited and will be available to you within two days!! Friday bookings will definitely have them in time to catch Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals!!

Moms are always the ones BEHIND the camera. Chances are they have few photos of themselves with their babies. I know it’s 100% true for me and my kiddos and most other mamas I know!
Mamas - get ahold of me and we will get you in for a beautiful portrait session to get you WITH your sweet babies!

Took my kiddos for a fun day at Harvestville Farms this summer and we lucked out and got to play in the zinnia fields! If youve never been - add it to your list of attractions to hit yearly for sure! Zinnia days, sunflower days, ALL THE THINGS for fall, and of course - pumpkins! Here are a few pics from our flower field fun, and I’ll be there for pumpkin sessions this fall as well!

What a great FALL weekend back in my hometown, filled with lots of fun at Gigi and Papas for my kiddos, and a beautiful midwest wedding thrown in too! Deanna and Jordan were an absolute pleasure to gain as clients and their kiddos were SOO adorable! It was the most love-filled day full of gorgeous jewel toned fall touches to compliment the gorgeous riverside setting at the Warsaw Brewery! From hearing all about their story to watching these two create their family...they are now for sure! For now enjoy a little sneak peek at their beautiful day!

“Bro?! What’s your deal?! My mom just wants to take our picture while we’re looking all suave...get it together man!”

Lincoln and Ryker had the same due date, and were born only days apart, and are both very healthy boys! And I may be partial but they are SOOOOOOO cute!!! 🥰
