Moving Portrait | Wakarusa Family Photographer + Filmmaker
Buckle your seat belts — you’re in for a treat with this one.
I found love early in life — high school, to be exact. My husband and I started dating at sixteen. But these two? They’ve been together even longer! So stinking cute. 🥹
Nikki was my middle school bus buddy, basketball teammate, and close friend, so I’ve known these two for a long time. Watching them stay deeply in love — with each other and with Jesus — and seeing them welcome two beautiful babies into their family has been such a joy.
Introducing Moving Portrait Sessions
Stunning. Just stunning.
Nikki and her family graciously let me use them as “guinea pigs” to fine-tune my new offering: Moving Portrait Sessions — a perfect blend of lifestyle photography and family film.
As you’ll see below, these sessions deliver a heartfelt, cinematic family video along with a beautiful portrait gallery. We play, we laugh, we chase light — and I get to weave all of that into a one-of-a-kind keepsake that feels like you.
And honestly? I think we nailed it with this one.

A Favorite Wakarusa Family Session Location
I absolutely love this location in Mishawaka for family sessions. It’s one of those hidden gems that shines in every season — golden fall evenings, soft summer light, and even spring’s fresh greens.
If you love the look of this backdrop, let’s make it happen for your family session too!
Whether you’re looking for timeless family photos, a heartfelt film, or both — a Moving Portrait Session tells your story in the most beautiful way.
