The Schomakers.

I met Kevin a handful of years ago through Ali, while they both were teaching at PMHS. We have since shot their wedding, Matt as a baby

and now fresh baby Leah!

Can I just say how proud Ali must be to see you putting on that headband?:)

They really wanted the “baby in a basket” shot…

But the baby really didn’t want to be in the basket. Ha!

Matt was pouting hiding from me…

Until daddy starting bribing him! Ha!

There were several “cute” frames of the two of them. I just had to go with one reality and one cute. What a stinker!

Loved seeing you guys! Congrats on the babe! Heart, Melanie.

JennyBZ - what a beautiful family! and that baby!! MELT!

Dorian - Congrats Mr.schomaker your kids are adorable, and I bet your loving every minute of fatherhood..enjoy and God bless..

Stephanie Lyell - I love the one of the babe in the flowers :) Beautiful. Also, I love your commentary on the photos-it’s always fun to read your thoughts on the shoot!

Donate Life

Jodi and Jay are a former B&G on here. When they got married, Jay was very sick. So sick, as in stage 4 liver cirrhosis (liver failure), his

future was uncertain. He went on the organ list waiting for a donation at the beginning of 2012. Then last year on April 17, he got the call

that he had a new guardian angel and a 2nd chance at life! The next morning he was in surgery at IU while most of the westside prayed

for him and jodi. Now, they are expecting a baby boy this fall! Jodi wanted to celebrate his one year anniversary with a quick session

showing off both their perfect bellies. How cool!

In Jodi’s words, “To this day no words can describe the gratitude and love we have for our guardian angel/organ donor and their family. There is no way we will e.v.e.r. be able to repay them. The best we can do is to celebrate and rejoice for their beautiful life and especially their amazing gifts they left behind for Jay and so many others.”

I enjoy that her laugh completely takes away the belly! The baby is all, “Mom quit laughing! I have little room as it is in here!”

 Congrats on both “new lives” guys!! Heart, Melanie.

Ps. Jay was the realtor who brought our buyers to my house. He rocks at his job.:)

The Edmonds.

Annabelle is turning one next week! Seems like we just shot their maternity session?!

Grass? I dunno know bout this stuff.

She’s just so beautiful!!

Parents know that littles find AND treasure any tiny piece of dirt they find. Scavengers, they are!
