A new challenge is always good, right? This session was a little different than a normal session for me. This family wanted to take pictures at Notre Dame because Dad was graduating with his PhD after 5 years of hard work. So the campus became almost like a 5th member of the group. Certain special places were just as important as the family pictures. While I usually tell people not to worry about the backgrounds, that beautiful pictures are possible in a parking lot if the light is right and connections are there… this time I wanted to make sure I got those great pictures and the right backgrounds for the family.

Baby Max’s 7-month session was full of personality, sweet milestones, and a little bit of luck with the weather. After delays from the pandemic and Indiana storms, this Notre Dame session came together beautifully—with big smiles, Grandma’s help, and Max showing off all his new tricks.

Madison’s St. Mary’s College senior session included all the iconic campus locations—from the avenue to the lake and Le Mans. Despite the summer heat, her session was full of joy, grace, and beautiful moments marking the end of her college journey.
