Featured Session: The Franke Family Documentary Session
Life with littles is just plain hard sometimes.
My prayer for this film as it goes out to this family in the thick of it, is that they can watch it in quiet moments and appreciate the beauty that’s being buried in all that busy business of keeping babies alive and fed.

Family Photos to Celebrate High School Graduation | Mishawaka, IN Family Photographer
Celebrating a high school graduation with family photos is a fantastic idea, and this family did it just right! If you have a high school senior, particularly a guy who might not love getting his senior photos taken, consider a family photo session instead. You’ll capture the love and connection that will last a lifetime – and your graduate will have updated photos to cherish while heading off to college.
Maternity Pictures and Video | South Bend, IN Photographer and Filmmaker
It was so fun including the whole family in this maternity session. Why not? Come to think of it, I can’t really think of any maternity sessions that I’ve seen that DO include the whole family, and I can’t think of one reason not to make this the normal.
Real + Sweet
A special kind of magic happens when you have a real moment mixed with sweetness captured on film.
Like many of you, I place a high value on sentimentality, but also on realism. A little tantrum here, a “blooper” there… adding just a drop or two of reality into your film grounds it and takes away the lie that “my family isn’t perfect so I can participate in a session like this”.
