Oh, Lindsey and Alex :) Lindsey found me randomly awhile ago while researching photographers online, and I am so grateful that she did. I have gotten to know Lindsey fairly well over the past few months, and I feel like we were destined to be friends! We got along wonderfully from the start and as small as the world is… came to find out that her then future sister in law was actually my next door neighbor! How crazy is that? Anyway, Lindsey has now done a boudoir and engagement shoot with me before her wedding day and she has to be one of the most photogenic people I have ever met. She has a contagious smile and these gorgeous eyes that just totally capture you :) When she introduced me to Alex for the first time, she warned me about how much he despises having his picture taken. Let me tell you something– this guy is wonderful, completely in love with Linds, and had us laughing non-stop the whole wedding day :) I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing couple. Enjoy your sneak peek!

It’s that time again for our monthly “What to Wear” post. This month it is hot out!! Shorts are absolutely okay in your family portraits as long as you feel comfortable in them. You want your clothing choices to reflect who you are and you want to feel happy, confident and attractive. So choose something that makes you feel good! Summer is also the perfect time to break out the cute skirts and dresses for the little girls… or if you are preparing for an engagement session or senior photos this is the perfect season to wear that fun dress and fun shoes you’ve needed an excuse to wear :)

Just come prepared… if you choose to wear shorts or skirts, spray some bug spray on before your shoot. The unfortunate part of summer are the mosquitoes…but don’t let that keep you from showing off your tan!

I do a lot of weddings, engagement sessions and sessions with little kids. However, Linda came to me with a special request to get some photographs taken of her and her three sisters as a surprise for their parents. Linda (the one in purple) went to high school with me and it’s been 10 years since I’ve seen or talked to her. It was really fun to see her again and to meet her family. Her sisters are just as beautiful as she is, and I am so honored they chose me for this :) Enjoy your sneak peek girls!

Those that visit my blog often will recognize this sweet face. Staci is my best friend’s daughter and I love her to pieces!! Her mother and I have been friends a very long time and our daughters are only 6 months apart. Staci just turned 15 months a few days ago and she has recently decided that walking is really fun :) How can you resist these dimples??? My sweet niece, you are beautiful!

What a wedding! Imagine a 4th of July wedding in downtown Indianapolis where the ceremony took place on top of the Sheraton Hotel… it was beautiful! It was a very, very, very hot and humid day here in Indy, but Kari & Brook didn’t complain at all as we trotted through downtown to capture their day. Complete with a horse and buggy carriage ride, a rain-free outdoor ceremony and fireworks to end the evening… Kari & Brook are now married and celebrating their honeymoon in Hawaii. I have to make a special mention of my business partner, primary second photographer and wonderful husband, Jerry for his amazing work at this wedding. He was sweating from head to toe and got some killer shots of his own… not to mention his impeccable support. :) We had so much fun getting to know this couple throughout the year and their wedding party and guests were a blast to be around as well. Enjoy your sneak peek and Congratulations!

Getting Ready…
Shoutout to Makeup by Megan Alexis … it was a pleasure working with you again!

The Sheraton on the circle was a beautiful location for a ceremony and reception. This was the first time we have shot a wedding there and I would highly recommend it! The service was amazing as well.

And the evening ended with the fireworks show back on the deck…. where we had to kick people out of the way LOL! It’s amazing how much power you have with a bride and groom with you and big expensive camera equipment.. haha! :)
