A dog, vintage hat, and a summer sunset: Philip + Rachel + Remy

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

My husband and I met Philip one mid-summers evening as we were walking Cinna, our Barbet (French Water Dog). Philip and Rachel own Remy a water dog mix and he had to know what Cinna was. Well after we chatted dogs a bit we got into photography and they said he would like to get their engagement photos done with Remy. Low and behold a week later we had our session. We had to rush as Rachel was a summer intern at Cummins and the three were heading to grad school in a couple weeks. Philip plays the saxophone so naturally we had to incorporate that, his vintage hat Rachel got him in Austin, Texas, as well as the ever adorable Remy. I LOVE when couples include their pets and hobbies in their sessions. In fact, I strive in each session to bring out their personalities as who wants boring photos when you can have some like these:

Rachel already had Philip’s engagement ring… if you look closely you may be able to figure out it’s code. By far the most intricate and coolest men’s ring I’ve ever seen.

Columbus Indiana Senior Photography: Jade 2011 East High School Graduate

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Jade is a California girl with great style transplanted to Indiana which I completely empathize with. Jade’s mom works for the Columbus Indiana Art Council which came in handy on a impromptu chalk idea we wanted to try. In addition to creating chalk art, Jade’s senior photography session was full of leaps, and beautiful smiles, a California flag. This gorgeous girl was too easy to photograph and it was very hard  to pick a few favorites to share.

I had Katy Perry’s “California Girl” song stuck in my head as I edited these… we had a quasi-California sunset which was a perfect addition to her Cali flag.

Dog days of summer: Barbet (french water dogs) on film

Friday, July 30th, 2010

It’s summer time yet again and the dogs and I are loving it. Frisbees are flying, the garden is growing, and gelato is being made weekly. While we are cooking out, I often snap a couple shots of our Barbet (french water dogs) basking in the summer sunset glow. All of these photos were taken with my Contax 645, a 120/220 film camera. I’ll have a longer post on that subject soon.

I don’t think I can even begin to describe how awesome this session was. So enough of the words and onto some photos…

He was such a snuggler! How many chances does one get to take a photo with a skunk?

Indiana Family Photography: A Family Reunion

Friday, July 16th, 2010

The last couple weekends were pretty busy for me. Two weddings back to back then a family reunion session with over 30 people. The family session could not have been easier. They were extremely easy going, happy, and even the kids were mellow. An added bonus was the short session with the parents of the 7 sibling bunch. It is beautiful and inspiring to see the love they still have for each other.

Starting with some family shots:

Now some outtakes. My trusty husband came along with me and although I sabotaged his camera’s ISO from the dark wedding the night prior, he was still able to snag some fun shots of me taking photos.

A little bright, but I love how everyone behind me is trying to get the kids to laugh

I have to give a huge thank you to this group. They made my job easy and were just a great bunch to photograph.

Indiana Barn Photos: Road trips through Indiana

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Many of my clients know I hop around a bit. It’s ingrained into my blood as a military brat. This summer there have been some road trips most of which going to and from photo sessions or to pick up Barbet from dog shows. One session recently was in the heart lands of Indiana and on that journey there were some beautiful barns crying to be photographed. I’m no Lyle (Viewfinder’s Club Barn Photographer Extraordinaire) but I tried my best. Often when I see barns like these my brain thinks a bride + groom in front of this would be magical!

Columbus Indiana Engagement Photography: Sarah + Andrew part II

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Here is part II of Sarah + Andrew’s engagement session. We reschedule the sunset photos as the thunder and rain rolled in. Finally a day occurred without a massive thunder/rain/lightening deluge and we were able to wrap up our session.

Sarah and Andrew have two adorable dachshunds. One being a tiny puppy so I had them bring the two along as if you know me I love dogs and have 5  of my own Barbet.

We met at the Mill Race park in Columbus, Indiana right when the sun began to show it’s golden glory.
