JOLT recap!

I had a fantastic time in Nashville at the JOLT event meeting so many inspiring. . truly inspiring ladies! It was my first time to Nashville and it began quite eventfully, with a cracked windshield on the way down, getting pulled over (and let go with a warning. . .whew!) by a police man, and seeing a completely butt naked man running down the sidewalk screaming, "Wahooooo!"! We figure he lost a bet. ;-) Anyhow. . .I came away drenched with inspiration and cannot wait to apply what I've learned and my head is swimming with ideas. Thank you Kelli Trontell and Vanessa Warren for putting together such an affordable, fun and informative event!

Wall Inspirations Wednesday

I loooove to browse online sites and magazines to get ideas for how to hang things in my own house. . .everything from my own art to art purchased on Etsy and especially pictures! I am going to start featuring/linking to examples and inspiration from these sites so you can start your own "Art Wall" at home. :) I would also love to see how you display your photos from our session in your homes, so feel free to email me with photos of how you've hung or displayed your pictures.
I adore the fun display of pictures/art here on these shelves!

I love the colorful and funky frames here and how the sizes are so varied

This one has been circulating the internet lately, and it's no wonder! Large, closeup pictures and subway art mixed in with smaller personalized art. So fun!

Hoping you've found something to inspire you today! I'll be back soon with posts of recent sessions. :-)

Fort Wayne, IN; Senior Session

Out and about town tryin' to find the best urban backdrops for these Senior Sessions! If you are a junior and looking to have Senior pics done, look no further! I will have a Senior Rep program debuting in the spring. You can earn cash, print credits and referral rewards like an ipod touch! Email me or call for details. :-)

Recent Sessions!

I've been busy busy doing photo sessions for the holidays! The weather has held off (until now!). I'm behind on posting, but here is a recent one with one of the most beautiful families I know! I had a great time, wish I could spend more time with this sweet family.

You may remember this little guy from a session from last year :-)  I love when I have repeat families.
Be back soon with a senior session and more family sessions!  Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season!

Christmas Open House!

I just love this time of year. I love the sights, I love to bake, and one of my favorite things to do. . .shop! Of course, avoiding the crowds is a must! That's why I have invited a few of my favorite vendors, so YOU can do a little shopping (and eating!) minus the big crowds! I would love for you to be able to come and walk through and do a little shopping and visiting! We will have these wonderful vendors, and you are welcome to bring additional friends/family! :-) Please email or call me with any questions.

Cole Family - Fort Wayne, IN Family Photographer

Two posts in one week. . .can ya believe it? With the holidays quickly approaching (November already??), Business is picking up! You still have time to have family sessions and get Christmas cards in time! I also sell photo jewelry from Michele Baratta which makes a fantastic gift! Without further ado, here is another sneak peek from a recent session!

Smeltzer| Fort Wayne, IN Newborn Photographer

Ah. . .have I mentioned I LOVE babies? It really helps subdue my baby fever to photograph these sweeties! Believe me, with 4 littles of my own my fever needs to be subdued! ;-) The Smeltzers are friends of our. Baby C's mommy and I go way back, so I loved getting to capture his smallness and newness! Here are some more sneaks!
