Cale Emerson

We have a new nephew!! Cale Emerson Carpenter was born on December 7th. He is absolutely adorable! He is definitely a Carpenter. I got to fly out to Iowa to take pictures of the new addition and spend some time with the family. We had such a wonderful time. Everyone is doing very well. Stace & Dan--I can't wait to show the rest of them to you--he is so cute! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Katie & Ross

We have been looking forward to this wedding for quite some time. First of all, Katie is the niece of some of our closest friends. Secondly, we had so much fun shooting their engagement pictures. They are such an adorable couple! Because of these things we knew their wedding would be a blast, and that it was! We had an absolutely beautiful day--inside and out--for their wedding. Who would have thought that we would be taking pictures outside during the middle of December. Well, welcome to Indiana! Katie & Ross had their ceremony and reception at Ft. Harrison's Kendall Inn. They had a full house...only 9 declined. It was obvious that everyone there loved them both. Thank you, Katie and Ross, for letting us share in your special day. We wish you the best and can't wait to show you the pictures. Blessings to you!

Jonathan David

I had the most unbelievable opportunity! I had the honor of taking pictures of Jonathan David Bowers coming into this world. Talk about an experience...after being at 9 cm for 7 hours the doctor decided to do a c-section on Tessa. The day didn't unfold quite like they anticipated, but the ending result surpassed it all. Jonathan David was born at 11:45 pm on December 13. He weighed 8.2 pounds and was 20.5 inches long. Jeff and Tessa...you have a beautiful addition to your family. Thank you so much for allowing me to share in the moment. Congratulations and many blessings to you!!

Stewart Pregnancy

I love pregnancy pictures! I think they are absolutely beautiful! I had the opportunity to capture these special moments with the Stewart family. They are adorable people! I can't wait to meet your little one!!
Blessings to you! ~ Mel
