Lazy Days Of Summer

Just before the ground was tilled in preparation for the yearly bean and corn crops, we went on one last romp through the weeds of grandma and grandpa's farm. Thankfully, I had my camera in tow and managed to get these few pictures of my daughters. I'm not sure which was more beautiful, watching the sunset as the dust rolled over the fields; or, the images depicted here, but either way, it was the perfect end to the perfect day!

Thought I'd Share

These are just a few of the spreads from one of my latest albums. The collage is a surprise, complimentary spread that we always add to the end of all our albums. It's our little way of thanking our clients for sharing their special day with us.

As I had posted earlier on this couple, it was our first themed wedding and we had a blast with this shoot. For me, the album designing is one of my most favorite parts about doing wedding photography. Our clients pick the images for their album, and I turn them into art. Some albums are more challenging than others but that's all part of the job. Hope you enjoy!

Where's Waldo

Meet Waldo, the Love family cat. He's a pure-bred Ragdoll. Wally (as we affectionately call him) has been raised by our family dog, Scout and the two are best of friends. Mr. Bo Jangles, another one of our family cats, is also one of Waldo's pals.

Although I'm not a cat-lover at heart, Wally has definitely won me over. He is the sweetest kitty and a little bit frisky too. I'm probably partial, but I think he's just about the puuuuur-tiest cat I've ever seen!

Here's Looking At You

For those of you who are following my blog, you've probably read that Seniors from the Class of '09 are keeping me very busy with commencement exercises just 11 days away. As if I weren't already a wee bit overwhelmed, Mother Nature decided to pour out some massive T-Storms today as I had scheduled one of my final sessions. No matter the chaos though....we've made it our top priority to make sure these kids have pictures and plenty of them. Congratulations graduates of 2009 - you look marvelous!

You've Got the Cutest Little Baby Face

This little guy was all smiles! He let me take his picture for well over an hour before showing any signs of exhaustion; and as many of you can imagine, this is tough work for these tiny tots. I can't wait to see him again in August for his 6-month session and all I have to say is....move over Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, there's a new celebrity in town!

It's Never Too Late

We managed to squeeze in this photoshoot amidst all the rain, cold temperatures and high winds that have been sweeping over Indiana here these past few weeks. It was a short but sweet session with alot of great images to choose from. This Senior graduates in just over 2 weeks so it's crunch time. As a matter of fact, we have several Seniors who have waited until May to schedule their, last-minute session - what's up with that?!? Hmmmm, this gives me a potential marketing idea....stay tuned.....

Rain, Rain Go Away

Would you believe me if I told you that it was raining cats and dogs during this shoot. These folks were total die hard. I must confess, I was skeptical but they did not want to reschedule....something about living out-of-state and not revisiting Indiana for awhile...makes sense to me. I would never have guessed in a million years that we would have gotten the shots that we did though . I am quite pleased with the outcome! The rest of my weekend is pretty low-key. I was looking forward to spending the day in the yard with my flowers....looks like I might be building an ark instead.
