Kaitlyn + Josh

Kaitlyn and I met a few months ago after she was referred to me by my November bride, Rachel :)  Soon after she got engaged, we met to discuss wedding photography.  Her fiance’ lives in Atlanta, Georgia, so we knew that taking engagement photos would be on a tight schedule.

She called me a few weeks ago and told me that her fiance’, Josh would be in town this week, so we scheduled a date.  And like everyone else in Indiana, hoped and prayed that it wouldn’t rain.

Lucky for us, we were able to pull off a 2 hour photo shoot at not only the Museum of Art, but also on Mass. Ave downtown… without rain!

WHOO HOO!

Meet Kaitlyn and Josh…

Josh told me ahead of time that he doesn’t really like pictures, but was willing to do whatever we asked for Kaitlyn, since he loves her.

I have to tell you, Josh was an AWESOME sport.  Part of me thinks he MIGHT have enjoyed it, just a little, or maybe that’s wishful thinking ;)

You could never tell that it was about 150 degrees right at this moment.  My hats off to Kaitlyn and Josh for looking so natural!

I can definitely forsee some GORGEOUS blue eyed babies in their future…. LOOK at their eyes…. beautiful.

Like i said, Kaitlyn was referred to me by Rachel.  I distinctly remember trying so hard to get a silhouette photo of Rachel and her fiance’ at their engagement session, but couldn’t because of the clouds.

I’m sorry Rachel, but when it came to Kaitlyn and Josh…

WE NAILED IT!

LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Kaitlyn and Josh – if you put this picture above the headboard of your bed in a 20x30 … I wouldn’t be mad at you.  :)  LOVE IT.

THEN… we headed downtown to Mass Ave for some urban shots.  I’ve never been to Mass Ave for a photo shoot, but it was great!

WE WORKED IT OUT….

While we were shooting the picture below, two nice men were sitting on a bench complimenting the cuteness of it.

I say they had a good eye, because it came out PERFECT!

Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to spend a couple of hours documenting your love.

I can just tell that you guys have a TON of fun when you’re together and I cannot wait for your wedding :)

See you in OCTOBER! :)          

Bobby + Sarah + Lorelei

Last week,  I was so excited to finally meet one of my blog-stalkers, Sarah! 

Sarah is the soon-to-be family of my friend Allison, and once she started reading my blog, decided that she wanted me to photograph her adorable daughter, Lorelei.

If you are from Indiana you already know that photography in June has been MISERABLE.  Between trying to plan around the ridiculous amount of Thunderstorms and subsequent humidity, anyone that chooses to be photographed deserves some kind of medal.  I don’t know if it’s ever been this hot …. EVER!

So, we decided that we’d meet at the Museum of Art for our photo shoot.  As always, the location delivered excellent photographs.

Meet Sarah and Bobby…. they are engaged to be married!

From what I learned, Bobby isn’t a big fan of photos, but I have to tell you – he did really well, despite the CRAZY heat.

And when you add Lorelei to the mix….

S20

…the family just can’t get much cuter.  I don’t know much about Sarah, but I do know that when she’s with Bobby and Lorelei, she’s absolutely in her element.

um, FAVE ALERT….

After we got done with the Family Pictures, we sent Bobby to the car and hung out with the girls for some mommy time :)

How fun is this mom!!??!

This is one of those pictures that makes me hope and pray Lorelei remembers her mom in this way, many years from now…

Vanessa Turned 5!

For my niece, Vanessa’s birthday, I decided this year to take her out to eat and celebrate by doing something fun that I enjoy doing with her.

So we headed to McDonald’s for dinner (her choice!) and then to take some fun pictures with some of the new school clothes that I’d bought for her birthday.

She chose 3 different outfits that she wanted to be photographed in, and they looked just adorable!

We started in a little field full of weeds and then headed to a couple of other places in town!

Little League Softball

I was recently asked to photograph a little league softball game so the coach could give the players a little collage of pictures at their end of the season dinner.

So, I got up early a couple of Saturday mornings ago, and had fun with the Dairy Queen team!

I had a really fun time watching the girls play and hope they enjoy their collages!
