Keegan's Senior Session

Keegan's senior session was full of surprises! It was as if the clouds just couldn't decide whether or not they wanted to rain that day, so instead it just spattered on and off throughout our shoot. And then, finding an old railroad track on a one lane road (forcing us to park beside an old mattress thrown out in the middle of nowhere...) we managed to wait out the rain, and the train that was chugging along at about 2 miles an hour, just long enough to snap a few pictures before a second train came barreling down the tracks! But despite all the quirks and setbacks, my favorite part about Keegan's session was photographing her with her lovely calf before she took it to the fair. Another photo first for me!! Seriously though, I had such a fun time with Keegan, her mom and her sister-in-law, and I can definitely come out of this saying we had some memorable laughs!

Great job, Keegan, and best wishes!

Danielle & Jarrod ~ the Wedding

I have been anxiously awaiting this wedding for months... because I knew it was going to be amazing. As apparent in their last blog post for their engagement session, it is obvious that Danielle has an awesome sense of style and she and Jarrod are an adorable couple! And not to anyone's surprise, she was absolutely breathtaking as a bride. I loved that she went the traditional route and didn't let anyone see her wedding dress until the wedding day ~ a woman after my own heart!! ;)

Congrats you two! I hope these pictures serve you well in remembering how perfect your wedding day was for you and all the people who love you!

St. Laurent Family Session 2013

Once again, I loved Adrienne's genius when it comes to her photo shoot planning. They always turn out so fabulous! This time we went with an urban look at Fountain Square, downtown Indianapolis. Seriously, I could shoot there all day, every day, and still never use the same background twice! It's so nostalgic and funky. My favorite - using over-sized Styrofoam numbers for the kids' ages! Loved this shoot, and love this family!!

{Self-Photographed} Kroemer Family Summer Session

Welcome to Part II (and the much shorter version) of our self-photographed family session! A special thanks to my dear mom and the rest of my little family for being patient with me while trying to multi-task. Like I said... next time, I am hiring a pro! Haha! It would have been much more relaxing and enjoyable, and I probably wouldn't have forgotten half of the poses I wanted to get, if I had someone else doing the work behind the camera. But they turned out super cute anyway! Just enough of what I need to decorate some of the walls in our new house. Hope you like!

Wynne's 18 Month Session

It's been awhile (6 months actually) since I've done a full-blown photo shoot for this little girl, and my has she grown up since then! I am SO SO proud of her. And yes, I'm a little partial. This was Part 1 of our self-photographed / mother & husband assisted family photo shoot, and let me just say... next time I am hiring a pro photographer! Haha!!! They turned out pretty good anyway, but it was quite a hassel trying to keep everyone together and give orders to whoever was behind the camera AND swat away mosquitos. Needless to say, I forgot to get some of the pics I wanted, but we will just have to reschedule for the fall. ;) For now... enjoy viewing these lovely pics of my baby girl, who seems to have been the only one who had any composure during our photo shoot!

Natalie & Stephen's Reception

I love photographing weddings. And sometimes I get lucky and get to be a second photographer for one of my friends... which means I get to go shoot and have fun without all the pressure! I shot this reception with my good friend (and up-and-coming photog) Keah Flanagan (Elwood, IN). It was great just hanging out with her for the day, and even though it was quite warm outside, the setting was nothing short of romantic. The bride, an architect from New York, has an amazing sense of fashion, as does her London-born husband. And this being their third reception for the week, everyone was ready to let loose and have fun! The reception was set at Trader's Point Creamery in Indianapolis - which I am now in love with - complete with home-grown hor d'oeuvres and freshly made ice cream.
