It was super bowl Sunday but my passion and life lies in taking photos so I scheduled a baby photography session in Seymour, Indiana. The snow from the day before provided wonderful natural light through the windows allowing me to use my 85mm 1.4 to capture the soft joy of baby Aubrey.

This adorable redheaded girl was a true joy to photograph. Her eyes lit up and toothless mouth smiled and laughed at her parents who stood behind me making silly faces. I brought some vintage props (antique Easter dress, chair, rollie, etc) and we went along with ‘bre’s mood. She didn’t shed a tear, although we did get some of those baby confused looks as if she was thinking “really you want me to sit in a basket and smile?”

I can not wait until her 1st birthday as I’m already thinking of the fun this baby will have in having her first cake.

Little Ms. Em is quite the adorable character, so a standard boring child photography session wouldn’t cut it for her. We put our creative hats on and decided to come up with a theme and story to make her session in Indianapolis ultra unique.

We started at a vintage cupcake shop in Indianapolis and Em turned on the charm. Her adorable big blue-green eyes sparkled next to those scrumptious cupcakes. After shooting next to those sugery confections, welet the girl finally divulge then headed onward to the Circle in Indianapolis.

She held out in the frosty cold laughing, smiling, and being a great subject. The buildings lights shimmered behind her creating a truly gorgeous backdrop.

It is that time of year again where snow is falling, gifts are being wrapped, and feasts are being cooked. A group of photographers, stylists, make up artists, and several others decided we wanted to take a day and pay it forward by photographing families at the women’s shelter in downtown Indianapolis. The idea to volunteer through photos was started by Help Portrait and the effort ballooned across the globe the 12th and 19th of December.

Starting with complete make overs including hair, makeup and styling these women came out refreshed and renewed. Once done with their makeovers, a team of photographers, including myself, were there ready to make them feel beautiful on film. After the photo session, the photos were whisked away to be printed and delivered that day.

The most memorable moment for me was after mother and son’s photo session, the mom gave me a hug and told me these were the first photos she’s ever had taken with her son.

I can not post photos from this event to protect the privacy of the woman but I can post a photo of the photographers and forward you to a link about our event. http://salvationarmyindiana.org/2009/women-and-childrens-shelter-hosts-help-portrait-indy-2009/

Happy Holidays to everyone!

It was a chilly autumn Sunday morning when I met up with Caroline Callahan to do a very special family session. She is originally from Indiana and went to Indiana University in Bloomington and now resides in New York City working for Seventeen magazine. Caroline wanted to do a photo journalistic style shoot capturing her, her husband, and her grandparents.

To start our session, we met up at Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana to shoot with the gorgeous foliage as a backdrop. We set up my vintage couches on top of the hill in the park and I started shooting away.

After our informal family shots at Mill Race, we headed over to the newly renovated old-fashion ice cream parlor Zaharakos. There, they ordered a Chocolate Malt and all took turns sharing which of course I took photos of! Her Grandparents have lived in Columbus for several years and were so great to take photos of. Also, they have been married for over 50 years which makes my heart melt in adoration.

Early this summer I had the pleasure of catching up with one of my fellow photographers and friends, Nina Shannon. Nina shoots mostly children in Tennessee and she does a beautiful job at capturing the joy of children. She and I wanted to catch up and shoot together before summer got in full swing, so we met up at her mom’s house for a couple days of hanging out and taking photos. We watched tutorials on edgy lighting techniques then went outside and practiced them. While there, Nina, always behind the camera, asked if I could take some photos of her and her gorgeous daughter Annie. Of course I said yes and captured some cute mom and daughter moments. In addition to those shots, I captured Annie with her grandparents. Being that my grandparents are so special and close with me, I know how special those photos will be in years to come.

I met up with Allyson, Holly, and their husbands at Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana to shoot some portraits of them together and with their spouses. They both hadn’t had any photos done of them together since their weddings.

Both Allyson and Holly were a breeze to work with. We started with the standard portrait then moved to variations as that is my specialty. Colorful umbrellas, jumping, vintage couches, and a covered barn were all thrown in to make these portraits memorable.

Towards the end of the shoot, Holly and her husband were walking to a bench for some shots and he picked her up as to have her avoid the mud and wet grass. I was clicking and awww-ing at the same time. I love to capture those in between moments that show relationships and love. To me, the in between staged shots really tell the story of the subject.

The more I shoot and work with couples and families, the more I realize how important it is to have photos done every so often. I’m not saying this as a photographer, I’m saying this as a personal realization to archive your life and family through the years. The most important day of many people’s lives, their wedding, is captured extensively by a photographer, but after that seldom do people get photos together. Personally, I’m going to force my husband (sorry honey) to do some anniversary photos together every year so we can have beautiful photos of us when we’re old and wrinkly and say weren’t we cute!
