The Blake Girls- Warsaw, IN Lifestyle Photography

I was very blessed to be able to spend part of the day following the Blake Girls around, capturing their life. They are a wonderful pair of sisters, who have a special, and very active, bond, and I hope this tiny glance gives you some idea of how amazing they are. (For their full gallery- Go Here!)

I am now offering Family Life Sessions and if you mention this post upon booking, I will include a complimentary 8x10 print with your package. Don't miss out on capturing the essence of your family!

Fifty-Seven Years...

And still in love.

I love my grandparents. They are two exceptional people, and together they make something even greater. ~Naomi

Farewell to Lizy

Lizy was Sam's dog, and I had never seen a pet quite so attached to a human before. We decided to do some personal photos with her before we said goodbye forever. We miss you every day, Lizy. We know Duke was waiting for you. ~Naomi

Benjamin- New to the world!

I'm not sure this post even needs an introduction. Baby Benjamin came into this world, and he is amazing. We got to sneak into the house and photograph his life as a newborn, and as a new member of the family.

Chicago Bound! (Warsaw, IN Film Photographer)

So, I've rambled on here before about how I'm going to a film photography workshop in Chicago, and TODAY is the day I leave! (Please feel free to keep me, Naomi, in your prayers!)

I've been working so hard this year- to fund the workshop, to follow my heart, to find my voice. Part of following my heart (and raising funds) was I decided to offer some mini-sessions earlier last month. I was concerned about finding variety unique to each family, and was concerned with what I would capture in 30 minutes, but I'm so excited to finally share the results with you! Each family was so unique in their own way, and I definitely was able to capture who they were in that time frame! I'll be doing minis again, I'm sure, but probably in a cooler month!

Thanks to everyone who helped me reach my goal. Thanks to those who've watched us grown & encouraged us. We love you all! ~Naomi

Dream... and learn... (Warsaw IN Family Photography)

A couple weekends ago, my husband was out of town, and I needed an assistant for some family sessions I was doing. I ended up hiring my sister for the day. She's only 12, but an exceptional photographer.

Anyway, she captured a great moment, and I immediately edited and posted it on Facebook. When I posted it, I made sure to note that I had edited, but she had taken it. Anyway, we all know how glitchy FB can be at times, and somehow that info is no longer there... and the bottom line is, she was offended because she felt I was taking credit for her work.

So, here, in all its glory-

 And, in case you are wondering if she really is only 12, this one is shot by me-

She is, she's an amazing assistant, and she really did shoot that photo above! The End!

Mini Sessions!!! (Warsaw, IN Family Photographers)

After requests for them, and the debate about whether or not I wanted to do them, I finally decided to give offering mini-sessions a whirl! The funds raised from these will be going directly into my FIND workshop fund, and you can rest assured you will profit from this in the future! :)

So here's the details-

Please note- we have added an additional day to this, Sessions are also available on Sunday June 17th. (Your invoice will still read the 10th, but your initial email should specify which date you prefer.) The June 17th sessions will be photographed by Naomi Karth, and an associate photographer.

Location will be Pike Lake Campground, with the option to go out on Beyer Farm Trails. Session need to be reserved via payment by Fri June 1st. We are trying out a new invoicing system, so if you are wanting a slot, email us & we will send you an invoice through which you can pay, via credit card.

The rain date for the 10th sessions will be the following Sunday, June 17th, and the rain date for the 17th, will be the 24th. (Obviously if we use the rain date for the 10th sessions, the 17th sessions will automatically be moved to the 24th.)

Session times will be first come, first serve. Email today!
 

Things I See- Our doggies (Warsaw, IN Pet Photographer)

Some of my personal posts are way more personal than others. This would be one of them. Our dogs are our "kids". We don't have kids yet, but we sure do use our dogs as practice! When we lost Duke over a month ago, we decided to dedicate more time to photographing our dogs. It felt like we just didn't have enough moments of them. So here's a compilation of several outing where we grabbed the film camera and took them for some fun. ~Naomi

 They love splashing around in the creek, so we had to include that in our day trips!

Things I See... Tom & Andrea (Warsaw IN film photographer)

Dreams are powerful things, especially if we choose to follow them! My brother, Thomas, is following his dream to the west coast. His girlfriend, Andrea, is following her dream to the west coast too. But not in the same state. :(

We're proud of them both, but we know the ache of being apart so I (Naomi) suggested a photo shoot for some memories and also good times. I grabbed some pro film, and once I was done I sent these babies off to the FIND lab (a perk of being in the workshop)! So in love with the results:

Baby Sadie (Warsaw, IN Newborn Photography)

As much as I love making photos of people in love, I adore photographing two people who fell in love, got married, then made a baby! Miss Sadie is one such baby. It feels like it took her f-o-r-e-v-e-r to get her, but she is PERFECT and we were so excited to capture her newness!

Things I See- Little Miss B (Warsaw, IN Photographers)

There is just something about film... a quality, a yumminess, something that draws you in. I've been practicing film lately, but only on inanimate objects, which after a while is a little boring. So on my day off this week I met Grace (of the awesome Whalen Creative Group) and her itty bitty daughter, Miss B, to shoot some film with real live people! Here are the results:

Grace & B, Thanks so much for playing with me! ~Naomi
