Katie, Steven...and DALLAS

Last night Mike and I spent, a cold...well frankly, a freezing, windy evening with Katie, Steven and Dallas shooting their engagement session for next year's wedding. This is one of our last engagement sessions of the season which is always bitter-sweet for us...bitter in the sense, that we are wrapping up yet another year of work and sweet, because...well, we are wrapping up yet another year of work! We had a blast getting to know Katie and Steven and the graffiti wall that Katie's brother painted just for the two of them, was nothing short of fabulous; but, the star of the show...hand's down, was Dallas...between that nose, those ears, his two front paws that bowed and that adorable little grin, I just wanted to squeeze him over and over and over! Thanks Katie, Steven and Dallas for such a fun night. I hope you enjoy the "teasers"

The Doctor and His New Mrs.

Today, Mike and I had the pleasure of being able to share in Chris' and John's wedding in the lovely downtown, Indianapolis area. The ceremony was at St. John's church right in the heart of all of Indy's action; regardless of the many events taking place this weekend, the ceremony remained quiet and intimate. The reception followed at the amazing Conrad hotel. In spite of the cold temperatures and small rain showers, the wedding was stunning. And while Chris too is a doctor, like her new husband, John; I had to smile when she asked the D.J. and Wedding Officiant to announce her as "Mrs." since this was a new title for her, and one that she adores, at that. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Tang - thank you so much for sharing your special day with Mike and me - it was perfectly amazing in every way!

I See A Miracle In You

Last night Mike and I had the opportunity to spend the evening with the Hine family. It's been a while since we last saw the Hine's and so we had some catching up to do. Caden is now 5 and has the vocabulary of a grown adult. He is mommy's little helper and takes great care of his little brother Ethan, who by all accounts, shouldn't even be here today. Ethan is a miracle and every time I get the chance to be with him, I am reminded that Our Father in Heaven is still very much in the business of performing miracles and answering prayers. I am always inspired by this family and their strength in persevering, even when the odds are against them! I love your family and have been blessed by you!

A Beautiful Autumn Wedding

Well, in spite of the colder temperatures and rainy weather, today was a perfectly beautiful day for Craig and Jen's autumn wedding. It's been a long-time coming and these two are absolutely perfect for each other. I'm so glad to have been able to share in your special day! Jen you were stunning and Craig never once broke a sweat. Thank you so much for sharing your wedding day with Mike and me, it was such a blessing. Congrats and best wishes for many years of wedded bliss!

Miss Maddy

Meet Miss Maddy, she's been coming to me since she was just a wee little thing and Mike and I have watched her grow year after year.  She is now 4, writing her own name, buttoning her own shirts and growing up right before my very eyes.  The time passes so fast and I've seen that first hand as I flip back through all the photos that I've taken of her over the years.  Miss Maddy, as always, thank you for all the precious smiles and sweet memories that I have of you - you are such a little darling!
