Ashley loves Michael Jackson songs. I thought it was only fitting to use this song to showcase her reception photos. There were so many that I wanted to show them all, and doing it in a video is the only way to go.

I finished editing Megan and Culley’s session and am so excited to share it with you. They are getting married in the summer of 2010. I can’t wait to be a part of their day. They are such a fun couple and are very much in love…it was such a great e-session. We met at Bridgeton, spent some time there and ended up in Mansfield. Both are in Parke County. What great locations, unfortunately I seriously misjudged how quickly the sun sets in the fall.

I hope you love the photos as much as I do. See you both in July.

I know I’m going to get this wrong….lol Culley coaches basketball? and Megan’s dad coaches baseball at West Vigo High School. Did I get it right?

I just finished with little “B”’s Newborn session. As I was editing, all I could do was sigh at the cuteness of him. It brought me back to when my children were this little and the excitement of feeling their new little skin, hearing them make all their little noises. =) I really love this job.

I’ll be meeting up with them again in January for his 3 month session. I can’t wait.

I finished up Kayla’s session yesterday. I really am so pleased with the way the session turned out. The lighting on the second day was just so beautiful. I am noticing more and more lately that the sunlight seems softer in the fall. Very beautiful.

Kayla, I really enjoyed working with you. Have a great Senior year!

Kayla is an amazing artist! Check out this picture

LOVE this image!! Love the light, location, everything!

This is my little one. She turned 5 this month so I thought I would take her pictures to show her Grandma in the outfits she got her along with some of her new toys.

Did I mention that this kid ADORES the Jonas Brothers? Ya, well….she does…A LOT!

I went to little “T’s” home to capture her 3 month session at the end of October. She’s actually a little younger than 3 months here as she didn’t actually turn 3 months until the 14th of November. That’s okay though, when I see her next for her 6 month she’ll have grown a whole lot.

We did her session in two days, one in the evening and then the next morning. It got dark so fast the evening that I went that I had to use a lot of flash and I just wasn’t getting the results that I desired. The next morning when I went there we hit the jackpot. While I used my flash and umbrella, I was also able to use natural light too. I think the natural light ones are my favorite. “T” has the most beautiful eyes and dimples. <3

Can’t wait to see you for your 6 month session. I’ll bet you’ll have me on my toes.

Big Stretch!

I can’t believe how fast the year went. I met this family in October 2008 for little “X’s” first Tiny Blessing Session. They were my very first clients to ask for it. I love these sessions because it gives me a chance to witness the families growth. “X” is walking very very well now and his big sister “A”….oh my goodness. She has developed some sassiness and it is SO adorable. She told her mom and I to “stay there, I’ll be right back.” Love it!

Yesterday they actually drove down to Terre Haute to meet with me. Trouble with scheduling postponed his 1 yr photo session a little bit but, they were willing to come here. We met up at Deming Park and had a wonderful time. The kids loved playing on the playground.

I can’t wait to see them again in a couple of weeks to take their Christmas pictures.

Here is some photos from throughout the year:

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your lives for the past year. I hope to be able to capture your family in the years to come.

God Bless!

The one thing I learned while editing this part of the day is that you just can’t beat having a second photographer. While I was editing Jen’s shots of the ceremony I would be like, “wow!! great angle/shot”. I just loved the light that fell on the the ceremony, I just really felt like they glowed.

 I was glad to have Jen shooting with me because I wanted to be able to get a good shot of this part of the ceremony. I love how she focused on the tree as they walked away.

I also loved that she got a shot of all of the guests at the ceremony. I won’t share that on here as there is a lot but I’m so glad that she did.

This next shot that Jen took is “money”. It is simply perfection!

Some may remember the session with little “A” and his brother “A” found here: http://julielawsonphotography.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/newborn-sessionbaby-aindiana-newborn-photographer/

Melissa was wanting family portraits done for their Christmas cards and I happened to have an opening when she asked. I love seeing the little ones growing and developing little personalities.

I met up with Hayley yesterday at Newport. Hayley brought her 2-year-old  daughter, mom and her best friend. Hayley’s daughter “A” is just the cutest little lady. I would take a picture of her and then I would saw “awww” when I saw the image and she would say “aww”. This little lady loves her mommy…oh it was such a joy to watch. You can tell that Hayley is such a good mommy.

Hayley is also very pretty, towards the end of our session..apparently others were appreciating her beauty as well.

Here is a small peek of our session…more to come soon.
