Jenni + John get married in Columbus, Indiana

admin — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:37:51 +0000

A very quick preview of Jenni + John’s 9.5.2010 wedding. So many gorgeous shots I know it will be hard for Jenni and John to pick their favorites for their album. I have to especially thank Jenni as she worked with me to ensure we had time to get some amazing shots like the one you’ll see below. Have fun in the Amalfi Coast and can’t wait to show you photos when you return!

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

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 13:00:40 +0000

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:

Yup Remy is that cute!

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

admin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 19:51:27 +0000

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.

What a gorgeous girl!!!

Jade and her sister… it was fun to have her sister and mom at the session to help Jade laugh and lend posing ideas.

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

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:45:09 +0000

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.

Indianapolis Pet Photographer: Mr. Relish the Baby Skunk

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:57:47 +0000

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?

When you give a skunk a tomato they hold still

When you startle him, he would raise his adorable tail in defense. SO cute!

Indiana Family Photography: A Family Reunion

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:25:16 +0000

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:

Here are the parents (and grandparents) of this friendly family bunch.

A favorite of mine– with the soft light through their corn and real smiles

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

Here I am trying to get this adorable little girl to smile

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

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 16:37:12 +0000

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!
