An End To 2010

As 2010 draws to an end, so does our wedding season. Mike and I shot our final wedding for the year this past weekend and are ready for the small break before 2011 comes roaring in. Candice and Jamie were such a wonderful couple, and their families and friends were just as wonderful. Not only was it blatantly obvious the amount of love they had for one another, but it was also blatantly obvious the amount of love that their friends and family had for each of them. Congratulations to both of you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful day with us. Here's to wishing you many, many years of happiness together.

Sweet Baby Girl

Tonight I had the pleasure of meeting, for the first time, Crysta Ann, and she was just precious. Crysta isn't even a week old yet so I felt very privileged to be one of the first to meet her. Big brother, Cyle, was as precocious as ever and not too terribly interested in little sis. Ah, but just wait, one day they'll be the best of friends. I am looking forward to spending the next year with Crysta watching her grow and change. Congrats Summers family, she's amazing!

It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas

With the holidays officially upon us, the studio is hopping with the hustle and bustle of things, and today was no exception. We had a very special visitor and we're pretty lucky around here because for whatever reason, this jolly old elf stops in quite often during this time of year. Aleigha was with us for her 6-month session and she gave us plenty of smiles throughout the morning. By the end of the session, little miss was exhausted falling asleep in her car seat before mom and dad ever even made it out of the house; and, our special visitor sprang to his sleigh in the wink of an eye.

Happy Birthday

Happy first birthday Nolan. I hope your day is filled with lots of love and plenty of smiles. It was such a privilege to watch you grow and share in your many milestones along the way. You are such a sweet little boy and I hope that you will come back to see me often. Hugs and Kisses!

A Warm Fall Day

This evening Mike and I spent a beautiful, warm fall evening with the Myers family. We enjoyed the warmer temperatures as we ventured around Boone County spotting these few perfect spots to stop and snap away. This clan was filled with laughter and lots of smiles making for some perfect pictures along the way. Hope you enjoy!

Love and Marriage

Mike and I spent a cool, brisk evening at the IMA with Emily and Jacob shooting their engagement session. We really connected with this couple as it seems we have alot in common...everything from XBOX 360 to Ball State University so obviously, we are excited to see them again on their wedding day. Congratulations to you both and thank you for the many fabulous smiles. Looking forward to seeing you again next year!

Family Fun

Tonight Mike and I spent a fun-filled evening with the Curts family hiking throughout Eagle Creek Park. These three made me smile...ALOT, reminding me much of my very own family. The sibling banter, back and forth, was priceless but I could clearly tell that in spite of all the joking, this brother and sister trio was thick as thieves. Thanks for the smiles!

Fun At The IMA

Tonight Mike and I spent another fun night at the IMA with Jerry and Anna shooting their engagement session in preparation for their upcoming nuptials in March. These two were so great to work with - very laid back and willing to stick it out with us for the long haul. We needed to wait until near sunset to get some of the shots so I know that their smiles must have been completely spent by the end of the night, but, they never showed signs of fatigue taking it all in stride. Thanks for all the smiles you two - you were amazing! Mike and I are looking forward to your wedding day. It will be here before you know it!

Fall Colors

Mike and I spent a beautiful weekend with Amy and Brad photographing their wedding. We stopped off at several locations taking full advantage of the magnificent fall colors. The ceremony was at sunset in a quaint, little country chapel and luminaries adorned the happy couple's walk to their getaway limo that brisked them off to a nearby country club where the party was waiting. Everything from the bride's dress to the wedding cake was perfect. Thank you for sharing your day with Mike and me. Here's to wishing you a happily ever after.

Lovin' Our Senior Rep.

Well, for those of you who didn't know, this year our Senior Rep. was the lovely Kashia Moore from Lebanon, IN. During each session, Mike and I had such a fabulous time with her. Not only is she gorgeous but she's also loads of fun to work with. We wrapped up our final session tonight and I could not be more thrilled with the outcome of our time together. Kashia, I wish you all the best in your very bright future and thank you so very much for all those amazing smiles, creative ideas and fun-loving personality - you are the best!

A Beautiful Autumn Wedding

This weekend Mike and I spent a beautiful Saturday with Ashley and Justin sharing in their nuptials. My two favorite's from the day were the bride's exquisite gown and bride's maid's dresses - they were just fabulous! Lots of thought went into every detail and it showed. Here are just a few "teasers" from you day. I hope you enjoy them and thanks again for allowing Mike and I the opportunity to capture what will be some of your fondest memories!

Another Year Has Passed

Yesterday was another one of those bitter-sweet moments in my studio. Sweet Caroline celebrated her one year birthday in the studio with cakes, balloons and singing. It seems like just yesterday her mommy and daddy contacted me to come to their house for our first newborn session....and now she is crawling and toddling and smiling. I am going to miss this sweet little girl, and her big sister Charli too. Come back and see me often!

Another Fabulous Night

Mike and I spent another fabulous night outdoors walking through the woods with Brock for his senior photo shoot. Brock selected Eagle Creek Park for his session and it was a perfect match to his personality. The fall colors were absolutely fab and the temperatures were near perfect. Having a little experience myself with a bow and arrow, we connected over the topic of archery. It was a terrific evening and I hope you will enjoy these images.
