Sarah & Garth have long awaited these two little miracles, and I’m so happy their dream is coming true. Sarah is still working and doing great! She is still smiling and while carrying twins, that says quite a bit! We had a great session downtown on the canal. I even like them enough that I approved taking a few Purdue University themed photos for them! 
For those of you who don’t know, I went to IU. These two have WAY more self-control than I do because they are not finding out the genders. I’m eagerly awaiting the news and can’t wait to know so I can start planning for their newborn session! If you get a chance, say some prayers for Sarah, Garth and the babies as they are quickly approaching the due date!!

Love how Jill gets amazing shots even if mom is frazzled and baby is grumpy— I have no clue how she does it! She gets amazing pictures when I don’t even realize she is still snapping them. It is effortless on my part– she knows her stuff!! A pleasure to work with. I am already a fan on FB and will try to figure out how to subscribe to the blog. -Colleen McNiff

There is no doubt in my mind that Carson will be in safe hands. He lives with two people who serve, protect, and help others in the medical field and on the fire department. What a lucky lil’ dude! I love the firefighter pictures because it’s so personal and unique. Mike, thanks for the great idea to use your gear!! I instantly feel in love with this kiddo. He is absolutely gorgeous and since he’s the baby of my childhood bestie, I was able to kiss, snuggle and adore him extra! In fact, I drove all the way to Madisonville, KY to capture these photos so I even stayed the night. He was worth every minute and seeing my girl, Holly, was a complete joy! Congratulations Mike & Hol! Thank you for giving me the honor of capturing your “little man!”
