Lilly : ft. wayne portrait photographer

I used to work at the Journal Gazette with Ryan so it’s always a pleasure to see him again.  He and his wife have the cutest kids, but Lilly is a total doll.  Last year we photographed her at Fox Island so this year we thought we’d try something different.  And while her smiles aren’t…

Onesie themed shower party for my friend Sarah!

I’ll be honest I love to plan parties. I think it goes back to college when my roommates and I loved to throw parties or actually now  that I really think of it, we only planned one real party– but it was a winter gala complete with sparkly silver and blue paper, mini quiches and…

Everything came out so great! I’m so glad to see you didn’t fulfill my prophecy of you sweating it out to pipe the onesies. BTW, Sarah just might be the cutest ever pregnant lady. She really does look like she just has a basketball under her shirt.

Oh my goodness! I love, love, love all of it. The next person I know that has a baby is getting a shower just like this. So creative:)

Oh Janelle…so adorable! I love all of the onesies AND the hanging onesie cookies. Do you mind if I post some of your pics (your links included, of course) on my blog? It’s too adorable not to feature!! :)

Hey Janelle,
We know the Hooley’s, all the “Merrell” girls, Erica etc!!! Such a cute, cute shower!!! I may need to talk with you about your great ideas!!! Looks like such a fun time!

I love the photo-booth area idea…

When you did your raindrop strings, how long were the strings?

How many strings do you think you had?

I love this idea and I am putting on a shower for my daughter in January.

Thanks

I did about 2 dozen strings of raindrops maybe more. They hung from the ceiling to the floor, so maybe about 10 feet?

my twin nieces | Indiana baby photographer

After posting pics of Lex I realized I couldn’t leave out her little sisters…. so here is  a recent picture of the twins.  It’s amazing how different these two are starting to look and act.  Looks wise Eli definitely takes after my side of the family and Anna definitely her dad’s side of the family! …
