diaper bag- thanks laura!

So, if you follow my facebook page, you would have already heard that my friend, Laura Schwieterman, volunteered to make me a diaper bag. I was thrilled but slightly over whelmed when we were standing in JoAnns looking at all the fabric choices. There's just so much to choose from and trying to make it gender neutral about made me give up right there! After much debate and thinking of exactly what I wanted in a diaper bag, this is what we came up with and its AMAZING!

Now, without a pattern and more googling, Laura made me this diaper bag masterpiece. I can't wait to use it! Thanks Laura!

Another fun fall engagement shoot! I really love the look of blurred trees... :P Thanks guys!




quote- just something to blog about!

I often read other's blogs and one of favorites is by Kelle Hampton. (http://www.kellehampton.com/) It is just one the many that Rachel Post got my hooked on and I am so glad she did. Check it out if you have time but BEWARE it's addicting!

Kelle has an amazing story and writes beautifully. What she said today really struck me as a mommy to-be. I wanted to be a child forever (It's true Adam even says so!) and now I can't wait to see if the second part of the quote will be true too!

"I used to want to be a child forever. Now, in loving this place, I want to have a child forever."

baby blake's baptism

I had the pleasure of photographing my nephew baptism's this past Sunday and if you haven't been to one in some time, it's really an amazing thing. Well, maybe its the fact that soon I will be planning my little one's baptism, but I thought Father Barry did a wonderful job explaining the importance of baptism and how it really is the most important gift you can give your child!

Congrats Blake!

I love this shot of Blake being a trooper during baptism!


This is Father Barry blessing the new fathers. I really thought this was a sweet moment because I just think it's great seeing my big brother being such a great daddy to baby Blake!

maternity leave

I will be taking my maternity leave from October 23, 2010 to January 1, 2011.

Please feel free to call me with any orders or questions on family photos for the new year. Don’t be afraid to schedule photographs for late winter or early spring. Photos in the snow are amazing and original. So get out there and be daring!

Also there are going to be some great changes for the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011. Of course, I plan to blog about our new Little Link and my awesome December weddings so make sure to check out the blog periodically. It will be a very different holiday season for the Links!

Then, wedding pricing will be changing after the new year. There will be more options for future brides. Check out the website to keep updated! I am currently booking for the 2012 season. Please call as soon as possible. Dates fills up fast!

lisa + nick- to be

Lisa and Nick met me last night to take their engagement session out at his parents farm and an old school. I had a great time trying out the different locations they had in mind. They made it hard to pick the images to post. There were so many good ones!

Thanks for being such a super cute and fun couple!





kara + mitch- to be

Kara and Mitch were troopers when it started to rain on their session. Between running for cover from the rain, we manage to pull off some awesome fall photos!
