A time for change...

2010-05-03T08:07:00.002-05:00

My new blog is here! Come check it out and let me know what you think!
Be kind...it's not 100% completed, I was too pumped about it to wait!

.Allie.

2010-04-26T06:46:00.002-05:00

I had a great time shooting Allie's senior portraits, she's a sweet girl and her mom was cracking me up! She was the most encouraging spectator I've ever worked with. Every pose she would assure Allie she looked gorgeous and would say how cute she thought the photo would turn out. It was awesome :) I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from her session -

Paulynn & Jonathon

2010-04-23T08:45:00.004-05:00

Gotta love the Lilly Gardens in the early Spring!! You may recognize these two from the previous post - Leah and Rob's wedding. They are soon to be in-laws :) Leah and Jonathon are siblings. Paulynn and Jonathon are the third couple in Leah's family to be getting married this year - talk about a busy year!
These two have been together for years and are looking forward to their wedding and their move to Florida. It was a pleasure to work with them and I'm looking forward to their big day in June!

Rob.&.Leah. Wedding.

2010-03-30T13:44:00.002-05:00

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this couple again for their wedding. They are, by far, the most comfortable people in front of the camera - mostly acting as though I wasn't there and just snuggling and kissing away. It was PERFECT.
Their wedding day was beautiful - though a bit chilly :) Leah wore her mother's wedding gown (after some tweaks to make it her style) and had personal touches all throughout the day. Leah's twin sister said in her toast that she hadn't ever seen a couple more in love their Leah and Rob. Congratulations, Leah and Rob - I know you're having a wonderful honeymoon!! Enjoy your larger-than-average-blog post - one of the perks of being so photogenic ;)

This is right after they walked out of the ceremony...

toasts..

Though they didn't have dancing at their reception, they still included a first dance for themselves, and I'm so glad they did.

They're outta here!

FINALLY!

2010-03-08T08:03:00.000-05:00

How badly did we all need THIS the other day?!?

.My Valentine.

2010-02-12T15:09:00.003-05:00

Today I was looking through our wedding photos and thought, oh heck, why not post a few from our wedding in celebration of this male-despised holiday that's approaching??
It's hard to believe Adam and I have been married for 4 1/2 years - well you know what they say - time flies when you're having fun...and I'm having the time of my life.

Happy Valentine's Day to all :)

.Rob.&.Leah.

2010-01-30T12:59:00.005-05:00

We braved the EXTREME cold this morning and had their engagement session at the frosty Lilly Gardens. It was a first for me - shooting at Lilly in the snow, and a snowy engagement session! Leah and Rob are such sweet people and so obviously in love - they were an absolute pleasure to work with and photograph - I think I only had to ask them to kiss once, after that they just kept it up on their own ;) I love photographing couples that just enjoy each others company during the session and pretend I'm not there. As you can tell - they're a fun couple and I can't wait for their wedding in a couple months! Enjoy your preview - and hopefully you can feel your fingers again!

.Mallory.

2010-01-25T20:24:00.002-05:00

I would photograph newborns everyday if I could! Mallory was a perfect, TEENY, model for me today :) I have been looking forward to photographing Else's sister and was not disappointed in the cute factor :)
I also have to thank my sister, Lisa, for knitting this adorable baby nest for me!! I know it'll get lots of use!
Enjoy the preview -

Congratulations, Adrienne, Matt & Else!

.Elijah.

2010-01-23T11:18:00.004-05:00

I was thrilled to meet and photograph little Elijah yesterday. His Mom is a midwife and brought this 9lb 2.7oz baby into the world without any medication! He was one of the sweetest newborns I've ever photographed - not even a single fussy second out of this one! We took a few breaks so he could nurse, but he was just what a newborn model should be - sweet, sleepy and adorable. Jill and Nick - Congratulations on your little blessing - I hope you enjoy your preview!

It's been awhile...

2010-01-21T16:24:00.001-05:00

Just because it's a slower time of year (though I have a newborn session tomorrow and an engagement session Saturday weather permitting!) - I'll take the opportunity to show off my adorable girls :)

.Wendel.Family.

2010-01-16T17:45:00.003-05:00

Our wonderful landlord(and now neighbor!)'s family requested some quick formal family shots over Christmas while they were all in town together. I was happy to snap some photos and I even got a tour of their new home. It looks like it's straight out of a magazine! Hope you guys enjoy your photos and I'm SURE you're enjoying your new home!
Enjoy...
the whole gang-

Grandma with all the grandkids!

I have never seen such a young kid play the violin!! And he actually can play!

a favorite :)

2010 Updates

2010-01-09T09:18:00.004-05:00

I've made a few changes for this spanking new year - some incentives for referring clients so I can thank those customers who spread the word for me! Also, a little something for repeat clients. Check out all the new info on my website and I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed 2010!
And because what's a post without a photo...

Merry.Christmas :)

2009-12-25T11:15:00.001-05:00

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. --Isaiah 9:6

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas - celebrate the long-awaited birth of a Savior!

.Longbottom.Family.

2009-12-24T07:54:00.003-05:00

We go to church with this awesome family and we've gotten to know them over the last few years. They are so generous and kind - we love them! I took Hannah's senior portraits last year and was so happy to be able to take some family portraits while they are all home during the holidays. We had some cold temperatures and slushy sidewalks to deal with, but it was worth it. Enjoy some photos from their session - thanks again, Longbottom family! Merry Christmas!!

Jill.&.Nick...and baby :)

2009-12-22T08:55:00.002-05:00

I met Jill in college - we were in the nursing program so we had a lot of the same classes. Jill is now a midwife - she graduated in the midst of being pregnant AND on bedrest! I was thrilled to not only get to see and hang out with her again, but meet her husband and photograph them. They chose to wait to find out the sex of the baby until he or she makes their debut, I'm kind of partial to this method myself :) I think it is THE greatest surprise and completely worth the wait. Their baby could come any day now so stay tuned for the newborn session! Jill & Nick - you guys are adorable and so sweet - thanks for letting me document these special days. Enjoy!

Their sweet dog, Mocha, got in on some of the photo action - and she was a PRO.

Your baby is SURE to be gorgeous!!

.Mateo.

2009-12-13T16:52:00.003-05:00

This little guy is the new brother to Ayden. I always love seeing families grow and was so excited when Sara called me to photograph the newest arrival. Mateo is such a sweet little boy! He was SO cuddly with Mommy and was so happy laying against her chest. All these adorable little boys lately - it's enough to make me want a little guy of my very own! Enjoy a few favorites -

.Tanner.

2009-12-08T16:07:00.003-05:00

I had such a great time with this family. Tanner is seriously one of the cutest little boys I've EVER seen in my life and he was such a sweet baby. So smiley and looking straight at my camera - what more could a photographer ask for?! Here are a few of my favorites -

.Joel.&.Mal.

2009-12-03T15:34:00.003-05:00

Joel works with my husband, Adam, and recently was accepted into a nurse anesthesia program in South Carolina. Woohoo!! They wanted some photos of them in the city before the left - so we braved the cold weather and headed to the canal downtown. Mal had a place in mind for some shots with the city lights behind them so we hung out and took some photos while the sun went down. We will miss these guys - enjoy my favs :)

.Leila.

2009-11-30T21:59:00.003-05:00

I have never photographed a baby that stayed looking SO similar to the way they looked as a newborn! I guess she was a few weeks old at her first photo shoot, but this little girl didn't age a bit :) She is so so adorable and such a happy little baby - didn't cry at all despite the chilly weather and stresses of modeling ;) This family is so sweet and gorgeous - here are a few of my favorites from their session -

Remember this little lady??

.Agresta.Family.

2009-11-17T08:09:00.003-05:00

Aren't these boys ADORABLE?! I really enjoyed meeting and photographing this cute little family - we've known Sarah's sister and her family for many years :) Though these guys grew tired of the camera quickly (those afternoon sessions are tough when you don't get in good naps!) they really did well and were really well behaved! Here are some of my favorites from their session - and happy anniversary to you both again!
Ok - is this hat not the cutest little boy hat ever?

Soooo sweet. Man, I LOVE babies.

2009-11-15T18:40:00.003-05:00

This family is such a pleasure to work with - Ella is busy busy busy - jumping, running, playing in leaves, playing hide and seek, you name it. And then there's Sam, who fell SO sound asleep on the short drive from their home to the park! They're a sweet family and I hope you enjoy a few from their session-

.Kalissa.

2009-11-13T16:36:00.002-05:00

Yet another gorgeous senior! Kalissa wants to be a veterinarian so it was appropriate that she brought her dog along for the session. We had a blast hanging out and shooting some pictures - stopping in the middle of the session so she could wet her hair and get those natural curls in some photos - I could tell before I met Kalissa from talking to her dad that he LOVES her curls :)
Enjoy some of my favorites from her session...

.Sam.

2009-11-09T22:20:00.002-05:00

I love babies. Sometimes I have to remind myself to keep taking pictures because I just want to watch and play with the babies! I had the pleasure of shooting Sam's newborn photos and was so excited to see how much he'd changed and grown since then! He is just adorable- here are a few of my favorites - more of a preview to come - but I had to post a few of this little guy!

I LOVE his expression in this last one!

More to come soon!

.Macy.

2009-11-07T20:09:00.002-05:00

This gorgeous little lady was a PERFECT model for her session. She was awake when I arrived for pictures in her first outfit (which happens to be the outfit her mom was brought home from the hospital in!) and the she quickly fell asleep and was OUT for the entire session - perfect.
Here are my favorites -

Nolan (and family)

2009-11-04T15:50:00.002-05:00

I had the pleasure of meeting Nolan this week and he is so handsome! I thought we were going to freeze during this session but it ended up being in the 50's at Nolan was a trooper! We went to the beautiful Lilly Gardens and I think I could shoot there daily and not get sick of it :)
Here are a few of my favorites from their session -

.Megan.

2009-11-01T16:19:00.002-05:00

Yet another gorgeous senior I had the pleasure of photographing. Megan was a joy to work with - so photogenic and easy going. She had great outfits to choose from and looked like she belonged in pageants- don't ya think?? Here are a few of my favorites...

We went to a second location - this old barn and I'm SO glad we did.

.Nathan.

2009-10-31T12:18:00.003-05:00

This adorable little peanut was in the cooker the last time I photographed his family. He is SOO adorable with those big blue eyes! Here are a few of my favs from his session -

2009-10-27T18:00:00.002-05:00

I assisted Alexis Smith at this wedding. This couple was so laid back and sweet together. It was a COLD day but the wedding party braved the weather for some outdoor shots. Their wedding and reception were at the Indiana Historical Society. Congratulations, Dave and Monica! Enjoy a few of my favorites -

I'm finally catching up on my blogging! Check out this great lookin' family :) You might remember Spenser from last year. This time they wanted a family session and we did a mini session for Lauren as well :)
Check out some of my favorites...

I teased Spenser that we were going to recreate his entire senior portrait session. I'm pretty sure he thought about running away...

Love this next one -

I had some severe jealousy over those blue eyes...

I mean seriously?!? BLUUUUUUUEST eyes ever.

.Fiona.

2009-10-25T22:52:00.002-05:00

Finally!! It is definitely a busy time of year and there just aren't enough hours in the day!
Thanks for being patient with me - here is a handful of favorites I have of this adorable little lady. Her mom is the wonderful Dawn of Details Portrait Art and I was honored to be able to return the favor of shooting some portraits of her sweet newborn. It is just a crazy time with a newborn (especially when there are other kids at home!) and it is so much easier to have someone else shoot your newborn photos!
Here is beautiful Fiona's debut and the rest of Dawn's gorgeous family :) Enjoy!

.Roehm.Family.

2009-10-20T22:01:00.002-05:00

These adorable girls are back! I had a blast watching these toddlers interact and play during their session. Was it difficult to get a photo of the three of them (and parents!) all happy, all at the same time, without any blinks, nose picking, pointing, or squirming? YES! But a blast at the same time. I have an extra large preview for this family so get comfy - and enjoy the triple cuteness that is this family :)

This was ALL Dad's idea! I don't regularly put my clients at risk - especially those under 2! :)

Hellooooo blue sky!

This might be my favorite of the whole session :)

I love how busy they are on these steps...it was like one millisecond that they sat still...then they were outta there!
love love love this :)

Sweet :)

Until then - check out these adorable triplets -

.Elias.

2009-10-11T20:52:00.003-05:00

This little bundle of cuteness is the first of a handful of newborn sessions I have this fall. I was excited to shoot this little guy's session and he did not disappoint! I had SOO many favorites from a glance through his images, so I'm making this a giant post. He was such a great baby during his session - and his big sister, Clara, was ADORABLE! She reminded me SO much of my daughter, it was so sweet to see her interact with her new little brother...then run off because there was something SO urgent that had to be done. Like dressing in multiple shirts at once and having snacks! I hope you enjoy the photos of this sweet family :)

When the hunger set in again - we called it a night! :)

Oliva.&.Nathan.

2009-10-09T22:17:00.002-05:00

This couple is so sweet and laid back - it made for a relaxing and beautiful wedding! They had their wedding and reception at The Mansion at Oak Hill. The day ended up being on the chilly side but they braved the weather for some shots outside - here are a few of my favorites from their day. Olivia and Nate - you guys are awesome and I hope you're having an unbelievable honeymoon!! Congratulations!

.Allison.

2009-10-05T21:10:00.002-05:00

Finally! I've spent too much time enjoying the beautiful fall weather we've been having :) Here are the rest of my favorites from Allison's session. She brought her pointe shoes and so we had some fun shooting her in ballerina mode. Enjoy!

And just so you know - I did not tweak the color on this girl's eyes at all - AMAZING. More to come!

.Kendall.

2009-09-21T20:53:00.004-05:00

Yet another gorgeous senior I was happy to photograph! Kendall is sweet, unique, funny, easy-going and a pleasure to work with. She told me early in the session that she didn't care if her hair wasn't "perfect" - she likes photos where people look natural. I knew right then that we'd have a fun session and I was even more motivated to capture some photos she loved. Kendall - thanks again for the fun session! I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites -

The.Barnes.Family

2009-09-04T19:44:00.002-05:00

Love love love this family :) They are hilarious, sweet, and so much fun and I was so excited when Angie called to schedule a maternity session. I did a family session for them 2 years ago (how has it been two years?!) and had a blast again this session. Angie is due in one month and looks amazing and they're looking forward to welcoming a little boy to the family - and guess who's shooting the newborn session!! Enjoy a few of my favorites from today -

Anyone interested?

2009-08-29T20:57:00.003-05:00

I had originally ordered handpainted letters for Jocelyn's room, but it ended up not working out and so I did them myself and LOVED IT! So - if anyone is interested in having some custom handpainted letters done for their home - let me know! There are plenty of options as far as font, size and I can match any fabric or decor. Just thought I'd throw this out there! Here are the letters I did for Jocelyn -

Otto Girls

2009-08-27T14:26:00.003-05:00

These girls are so fun to work with. They're always goofing around which makes the session fun and they're beautiful - they make my job very easy. I shot their session at the beautiful Lilly Gardens, one of my favorite places to shoot lately, and we even were blessed to have some beautiful cool weather this morning! Enjoy a few of my favorites from their session -

.Lauren.

2009-07-22T20:40:00.010-05:00

Bill.&.MaryLee

2009-07-09T21:31:00.003-05:00

This cute couple has been married for 28 years and (like so many other couples) has no photos of themselves. I was really excited to meet these grandparents of one of the babies I have photographed many times and we had a fun little session at Flowing Well Park in Carmel.
Here are a few of my favorites...

Ian.&.Reid

2009-06-19T15:08:00.003-05:00

I love that these boys are about the exact age of my own girls - its fun to see how similar 2 1/2 year olds are :) We battled mosquitos, stranger anxiety and the need for snacks but we got some shots in :) They were so adorable and here are a few from their session - Enjoy!

Alex.&.Arden

2009-06-17T21:52:00.007-05:00

I just love this family - I was honored they chose me to photograph Arden's wedding! They were so kind and accommodating to my "baby schedule". They had a beautiful ceremony and reception - complete with a candy buffet with monogrammed bags to take the goodies home! Alex is set to deploy in the next few days, so I had to prepare a whopper of a blog presentation for them to enjoy - hope you enjoy them as well..

How is he already one year?! I have watched this little guy grow....ok well maybe not watched him grow, but I've seen him a handful of times this past year, starting with his newborn session. He is adorable and has such a sweet family - here are a few from our session at the White River Gardens.

I was able to photograph this adorable newborn today. He is the new brother of a little girl I had to chance to take pictures of a year and a half ago - how has a year and a half gone by?! He was a doll - barely fussing and didn't mind being stripped down! Here are a few of my favorites - I'll probably post more soon :) ... Enjoy -

2009-01-21T16:27:00.003-05:00

BACK IN BUSINESS!! Ailynn was my first session since Jocelyn was born and what a great way to get back into the swing of things - a beautiful baby girl! I encountered a slight problem when I went to make sure the studio was ready to go the day of Ailynn's session - the heater was broken!! So after moving all the necessities to a room of our house, we were in business. Ailynn (whose name was actually made especially for her by her parents!) was such a great (and wide awake) baby. Its amazing how fast newborns grow...we compared Jocelyn and Ailynn after the session - its unbelievable what a matter of weeks will do :) Thanks again for the great session - enjoy your preview!

2008-11-03T08:33:00.003-05:00

With my due date only 9 days away THIS is my last portrait session! Spenser actually used to be my neighbor-his family lives near my family and they are the sweetest people. As always with my senior guys, Spenser had been looking forward to his shoot for weeks...NOT. So we made it quick and painless and honestly, he did a great job. He has a great smile and was a natural :) This session was just yesterday so these are as fresh as they get with me! I hope you enjoy my favorites from the session...

The second beautiful girl - she was cracking me up with her serious expressions and her hair! Adorable! --

.Abby.

2008-10-21T14:39:00.004-05:00

The first of the triplets - maybe you remember them from a couple months back - well, they're growing fast and getting cuter by the day!
I decided because I have so many favorites that I'd give each girl their own post! So - enjoy my favorites of Abby --

.Cameron.

.Katie.

2008-10-13T07:11:00.004-05:00

Katie is actually my cousin in law! - and such a sweet girl. I was happy to do her senior pictures - not to mention she is a complete natural in front of the camera! It made my job SO easy (yet so hard when it came to narrowing down favorites). Here are the first few that caught my eye when browsing through the hundreds we shot that day...

.Hannah.

2008-10-13T06:13:00.003-05:00

I met Hannah and her sweet family through church and was happy to shoot her senior pictures! Hope you like some of my favs.

So - thank you for being patient, Hali and Chuck, hopefully you had a great time in Disneyland and I hope you enjoy your photos!

Andrew.&.Erica

2008-09-30T16:00:00.005-05:00

alright folks - get ready for this huge post! I could not narrow down my favorites of this couple! They had their wedding and reception at The Montage and it was an absolutely beautiful wedding. They have been dating for SOOO long - almost 8 years!! And had been engaged for almost 4! Needless to say, it was a very emotional day for Erica and everything seemed to be perfect. I'm a huge fan of The Montage - my own reception was there, and I'd recommend it to anyone. They are so kind and take care of every detail for you. Alright enough talk - onto the pictures!

Erica's makeup was done by Crystal of Beauty By Crystal - she was amazing!

Gorgeous

One of the many reasons I love The Montage...

Yet another reason - they make the most amazing (and delicious!) wedding cakes!

Check out the bridesmaid on the left -

Sarah and Kory had a beautiful day for their wedding - so bright and sunny! They had an intimate ceremony in a friend's backyard in Carmel and then headed to the Model Mill Building in Noblesville for their reception. Here are some of my favorites from the day...

Sarah's beautiful kids - and the wedding party :) *this shot was captured by my lovely assistant, Jenna :)

.Else.

2008-09-04T21:22:00.003-05:00

This sweet little girl was so funny to photograph. She had the most serious expression on her face...until Mom busted out the Tigger stuffed animal! I had a really hard time narrowing down her images because she just looks so cute in all of them. Man...little girls are just so darn cute!

Remember how I mentioned Tigger?? - yeah..this is the face he got!

.Emily.

2008-09-01T15:05:00.003-05:00

Emily had the great idea to have her session at the zoo - she's volunteered there for a few years so its a significant location for her. We didn't go inside, just scouted out places around it that her dog could join us, and then Emily and I headed into the gardens - BEAUTIFUL! I love it in there - I'm gonna have to remember this location for the future! Here are a few of my favorites from Emily's session --

These girls were awesome to photograph - not only are they gorgeous, they are hilarious together. It definitely reminded me of my sisters. Here are a few favorites --

I even got Mom in a few!

The great thing about having sisters is that they have to model for me :) Here are a handful of my favorites from Kara's senior session -

Man, time flies! I shot this little guy's newborn photos and can't believe how big he's gotten - and how similar his face looks to his newborn photos :) He was such a sweet baby to work with, so calm. Here are a few from his session --

Hali is by far one of the most organized brides I've ever met. She has a couple months before their wedding, and she is DONE with literally everything! What?! Wish I could say I was that organized, but it seemed like the closer the wedding came, the more there was to do! Hali and I were on the dance team together in highschool so I was really excited when she contacted me to shoot their wedding. We had some great weather for their engagement photos and I'm looking forward to their wedding in September!
