The Huelsmann Family

When Carol contacted me a while back about photographing her family, her initial thought was that we would have to do it at Children's Hospital where Galen was staying. So, we planned to do it in the garden there. Well, that Sunday came and so did the rain. I was reallly bummed that we ended up having to reschedule the pictures, but little did I know, God had other plans. Later that week, Carol got news that they would be allowed to take Galen home! Carol called and we planned to do their family photographs outdoors in Carlyle. Watching this family laugh and joke together was so beautiful - Never before have I seen two siblings love eachother quite as much as Galen and Anna. It's very clear that Anna thinks the world of him and Galen just adores her. Next Friday and Saturday our Studio is having it's Children's Fall Special, where all session fees will be donated to Galen Huelsmann. So, come up for some great fall portraits and support an incredible family. Check out the Details Here.

Carol - Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your family! You four are truly some of the bravest, strongest most wonderful people I've ever met!

xoxo, H.

Kendra - Carlyle High School [Clinton County Photographer]

Kendra is a senior at Carlyle High School and I'm so happy that we've gotten quite a few inquiries from there lately! Lauren's session was a hot one, but we managed to get outside before it got too steamy and it worked out great! I LOVED all her outfits, especially the pink dress - it was so perfect! And this girl has the most incredible eyes! Just a beautiful, sweet girl all around! Kendra - You are such an awesome girl and I can't wait for your viewing premiere next week!

Lucie [Clinton County Newborn Photographer]

When Laua's sister Jen emailed me to photograph Lucie, I was thrilled! Not only had a previously photogaphed Lucie's mom and dad, Laura and Ryan, I had been following Lucie's story since Laura announced it. Early on in Laura's pregnancy, she was given the news that Lucie had CDH (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia) and would require surgery after birth. You can read more about Lucie's story here. Thankfully, Lucie's birth and surgery went well and she is a beautiful, strong baby girl! She is truly a miracle and I'm so happy to capture her sweet smile for her family! I can't wait to see you guys for the viewing!

Noah - Mater Dei High School [Clinton County Photographer]

Noah might be the easiest-going senior we've photographed so far! I was thrilled when his mom called to schedule Noah's senior pictures because I grew up being friends with Noah's oldest sister, Emily, and so I already knew this would be a great session! On the day of, we started out early and had incredible weather! Not too hot, slight breeze, somewhat overcast.. it was perfect! Noah's mom and sister came along to help and even spotted a few new locations for us to use! We're so glad you guys were happy with all your images! See you in a few weeks for pick-up!xoxo, H.

Spencer - Mater Dei High School [Clinton County Photographer]

I am a huge fan of planning for sessions, but nothing could have prepared me for what Spencer had in mind. Cue the flocks birds - Yes, I said birds...in flocks. For part of Spencer's session, we headed to the water to get some nautical inspired shots and mom came toting 4 bags of fresh Dairy King french fries to toss in the air. Before we knew it, there was squaking (Do birds squak? Well, they were making lots of noise! ;)) and flying going on around us. This provided for some awesome beach images, for sure!!!! Before that, together we created some awesome work in the studio, too! This girl has the most interesting hobbies we've seen so far!, Stat keeper & Air Rifle! I was seriously impressed since I am terrible with numbers and couldn't hit a broad side of a billboard if I tried! Spencer has some very high ambitions and we wish her all the best with her senior year! Spencer - After working with you for one day, I know two things for sure. One, you are incredibly sweet and talented and two, nothing is going to stop you from achieving your dreams. Your ambition and determination is to be admired, for sure! Go get it, Girl! :)))
