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.

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

Cupcake and City Lights for an Indianapolis Child Photography Session

Monday, February 8th, 2010

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.

Columbus Indiana Family Photography: Mill Race Park + Zaharakos

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

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.

Columbus Indiana Photography: Jessi + Jeremy’s E-Session

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

On a gorgeous Columbus, Indiana fall day with a brisk 60 degrees and crisp air, I met with the fun couple Jessi and Jeremy at Jeremy’s family farm. Driving through the rows of golden dried corn and red leaves, I knew this session was going to be full of fall flavor and color. On the lawn of their farm was these two HUGE red antique tractors that Jeremy’s family is really proud of and rightfully so. They shined apple red in the fall sun!

We started with some family photos (which I’ll post in a future blog to keep things separate) then moved into the e-session. With Jeremy’s tractors both big and small (they had these two TINY tractors for the kids), the textured barn, some pumpkins, fall colored leaves, and Colt’s jersey’s this e-session was so much fun. I can’t wait until their wedding extravaganza next fall!

LOVE!!!!

Columbus Indiana Photography Class: Stacy Able Photography

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Last Monday I had the pleasure of teaching a basic photography class at the Columbus, Indiana Library. There were around 30 people in attendance all with various cameras. I went over the basics of photography and was careful not to go into the dark depths of aperture and shutter numbers. Following my brief power point presentation we went to the courtyard to take some photos and give people the opportunity to ask questions. There were so many great questions and hobbiest photographers there. It felt so great to see the joy I have in taking photos in other people. There was this adorable 12 year old girl who asked me some questions and showed me some of her photos. She has such a great eye! Several people stayed an hour past the end of the talk and kept firing away questions. I left around 8:45 pm (the talk started at 7pm) with a huge smile on my face. It was so nice to share a tiny bit of my photography knowledge with others to help improve their snap shots.

Here is the flier that was posted at the front door… the photos are of Kai, one of my barbet babies from January and Miles an adorable 3 year old boy who dressed up as a petite chef.

Columbus Indiana Family Photography: The K Family

Monday, July 20th, 2009

It was a gorgeous un-humid July afternoon when I met up with the “K” family and their rambunctious labs, Coco, Thelma, and Louise. The parents babies before the children was their pet lab, Cocoa, so naturally a family portrait would not be complete with out Cocoa, and the two new additions, Thelma and Louise. Pet photography is strangely like toddler/child photography. You have a very small window to get the dogs attention. Well for this on location family photography session, we started outside with the indiana corn growing abundantly around us. I moved them into the shade with my vintage chairs for seating and the mom’s gorgeous echinacea and black eyed susan garden for background ambiance. Gorgeous!

After shooting some at the house, including the family portrait with the tail waggers, we headed over to Mill Race Park in Columbus, Indiana to continue the family shots. Even though we are in Indiana, we were able to find a patch of “mock beach” near the river to get some water and sunset photos that I so loved to do in California.
