From Engagement, to Marriage, to Baby!

I absolutley love Laura and Scott. Three years ago the booked me for their wedding. We did their engagement session on a cold winter day downtown. They were married on a beautiful spring day last year and this fall they welcomed their daughter Marlee. I feel so honored that they have included me as a part of all of these major events in their lives. Marlee could not be more adorable. Even though we made her cry I loved the IU Purdue shot we did. I can't wait to watch her grow!

Myers 6 Month Session

A few months ago I photographer Myers 6 month session along with his parents and brother. We did the session at my new favorite location to shoot at, the Broadripple Art Center. We shot the session right before the leaves changed so we were able to get the last of the summer colors. Myers is part of my Watch Me Grow plan and it is amazing to see how big and more adorable he gets every time we do another session with him. Not to mention how grown his big brother Jackson is getting as well. Stay tuned for Myers 9 month session!

Ashley & Derick's Wedding

I am so behind on my blog! I hope to have lots of posts in the next few weeks and get all caught up. Anyway, on September 26th I photographed Ashley and Derick's wedding at Valle Vista. It was such a beautiful day. The weather held up all day and only started to rain as the night time ceremony got under way. I was glad we were able to utilize all the gorgeous locations Valle Vista has to offer before the rain set in. I had photographed Ashley, Derick and Derick's son Kyler earlier in the year for their engagement photos. I love that they included Kyler in their engagement photos as well as having him play a big part in their ceremony. It was wonderful to see them officially become a family. Congratulations guys and thank you for having me as a part of this beautiful day!

The Lauterbach Family

A few weeks ago on an extremely hot day I photographed the Lauterbach family downtown on the Canal. I had a fun time with this family. We did several shots along the Canal and then walked over to Lucas Oil stadium. They have season tickets as well as a brick at the stadium so it was really fun to incorporate this part of their lives in the session.

Nicole & Joe's Wedding

On August 21st I photographed Nicole and Joe's wedding at The White River Gardens downtown next to the Indianapolis Zoo. This was my first time shooting at the Gardens and I could not have asked for a more beautiful location to shoot a wedding at. Everywhere you turn is a beautiful shot. I have another wedding here in October and I am so excited to go back. Nicole and Joe put together a really beautiful wedding and despite a small rain delay the moment Nicole began to walk down the aisle the sun came out in full force. It was such a beautiful day and I can not thank them enough for having me as a part of their day! Congratulations Nicole & Joe!

Nicole & Mike's Maternity and 1 Week Old Session

This is a sure sign of how far behind I am on my blog.  These are Nicole and Mike's maternity pictures as well as pictures of their new daughter Leila at just one week old.  I photographed Nicole and Mike's wedding last June. I was so thrilled to hear that they were expecting.  We did a Maternity session a few weeks ago and last week I went back to their home to meet and photograph their new daughter Leila who could not be more adorable with her long black hair!  I also love that Mike's other daughter was in town and able to be a part of the pictures.  I am so excited for Nicole and Mike and can't wait to see Leila's first year since they will be doing the Watch Me Grow Plan.  Stay tuned!

The Barnaby Family

Last weekend I photographed some friends of ours and their little boy Eddie.  I think almost all children are cute but Eddie is absolutely adorable.  We shot at my new favorite location for portraits behind the Boradripple Art Center.  The grounds have so much to offer as far as trees, shade, sculptures, rocks, benches, flowers you name it.  We tried our best to incorporate the family dog in some shots but the nearby squirrels made it virtually impossible.  I can't wait to see what this location looks like in the fall.  I hope to do a lot more portrait there in the future.

Katie & John's Wedding

On 7.11.09 I photographed Katie and John's wedding. I had done engagement pictures for them in Lafayette last year so I was really excited for this wedding. It is amazing that Katie still hired me after our first meeting when I locked us out of the studio but she decided to go with me and it has been a pleasure working with her and John ever since. Their wedding had so many fun and interesting details but I especially loved Katie's wedding tennis shoes that she wore the whole day. The ceremony was held at Danville Christian Church. When we arrived it was pouring down rain and thundering but by the time they exited the church the sun came out and the day turned out beautiful. I truly loved working with this couple. They were so much fun and I can't wait to meet their newest edition.. Zeke the miniature Goldendoodle who arrives this fall. Congratulations Katie & John!

The Smith/Jaynes Family

A few weeks ago I did this backyard portrait of the Smith/Jaynes family. The family had everyone in town for the weekend and we did a family portrait with the parents, kids and grandchildren. I will begin scheduling portraits for Fall sessions very soon if anyone is interested in a session for holiday cards and/or gifts!

Katie & Kris's Wedding

In June I had the pleasure of photographing Katie and Kris's wedding.  This was a really fun group to work with.  I love photographing at St. John as well as the Omni downtown.  The the two venues always provide such a beautiful backdrop for weddings.  The Omni is known for it's gorgeous  staircase and it always makes for great bridal party entrances.  Katie and Kris's bridal party did all different and highly amusing entrances which were a huge hit with the wedding guests.  I have seen creative entrances before but this particular bridal party did an awesome job.  Thank you Katie and Kris for having me as part of your wedding.  I had a blast!
