Welcome to Taken By The Heart Photography!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I love what I do and the looks on my client's faces when they realize these are the moments they want to remember. You know, the pictures that give you goosebumps, chills and take your breath away. Pictures taken by the heart for the heart.

{ My Best Friend }

The weather was far from perfect but not the afternoon. I have never laughed so hard nor had such a great time taking pictures. Brent and Amy are getting married next October and are sure to have a blessed life together. Here is a sneak peak at Funk's Grove. ~Enjoy~


















Congratulations!

{ Michael and Kienna }

As the days of summer were quickly fading and back to school was harsh reality, Kienna's "to do list" still had things to be checked off. With less than a week remaining feeding the ducks at Miller Park was up next. When asked if I would tag along and take some pics I jumped at the chance under one condition...I could shoot more than just ducks! So, a mini shoot was agreed upon. Here are some memories from that evening.

{Keegan}

Keegan {cousin to Bo, see previous post} is my niece Sarah's 9 month old beautiful baby boy. I had not seen him since Christmas Day when he was approximately 3 months old. So, when she opened the door to get him out I shuddered, then said...Oh my gosh does he look like Terry! {my brother}. It was a good shudder, don't get me wrong.

Then off we went to the perfect location {there's your shout out Jim} for an evening of summer memories to be captured forever. From four wardrobe changes to a break for applesauce and a bottle {and you can bet I caught that as well, the real everyday moments} mission accomplished! Once again, it is hard for me to pick my favorites but here is my attempt.  ~ Enjoy ~

{July 4th Collage}


In memory of my beloved mother in law, Lois, t-shirts were made marking the 25th anniversary of her passing. She loved summer ("the hotter the better"), 4th of July and family. Since her passing 8 more grandchildren and 2 great granchildren (with 2 more due shortly) have been added. Though we lost her at the tender age of 50 I was truly blessed by this wonderful woman.
