David and Maggie's Wedding Part 1 | indianapolis Wedding Photographer

Enjoy. ;)

Beautiful blue sky day. (and brrrrrr! :))

Loved your colors. Of course. :)
This was such a fun room. And such a heavy dress. That I had to hang up so very high.... eek! :)
- if you know me, you know why I love this next picture... a very sentimental moment that brought tears to my eyes.
-reading the letter my brother wrote to her.... he ALWAYS can make her laugh. I love him for that.
Meanwhile.... another meaningful moment in the guys' room....?? ha.
LOVED these girls.
It is HARD to be a bride! You guys have it EASY!
Watching her dad, brother, and nephew come in for their first peek at the beautiful bride...
I want to keep him. :)
And maybe him too. Such a great dad and I loved watching his interactions with her all day.
YEAH YOU DO, girl. :)
The light was stunning in this room... I couldn't resist a few.
M, I think you look amazing here.
They chose to NOT see each other beforehand, but had this sweet little moment...
... And this one.
Love you guys.... so happy you made it back from your WARM SUNNY honeymoon. :)

My Newest Sister | Indianapolis Wedding Photographer

One of the great things about BOTH of my brothers getting married this year, is that I was lucky enough to not just get one, but TWO amazing and beautiful sisters out of the deal. So thankful for both you and N, and all the ways you both make me laugh. (N, how's your shoulder?:))

Anyway, I had the chance to do a private bridal session with M a week before the wedding. I knew she would be a beautiful bride..... and I also knew that my little brother was NOT going to be prepared for her coming down the aisle. He wasn't. :) But more about that later.

Words aren't really needed. M, welcome to our crazy family. You are beautiful and funny. Sensitive and compassionate. and I love your random texts. :)

Can you believe her!??? D, she's out of your league by a long shot, bro. love you.:)

E-Session and brrrrrrrrr! | Indianapolis Wedding Photographer

This couple has been so patient with my crazy fall schedule, but I'm so happy it worked out to do their engagement session done before the holidays. I had so much fun laughing with you two. Can't wait until the big day! :)

Enjoy (in some crazy order.... sorry for that!).

Happy Thanksgiving! | Indianapolis Lifestyle Photographer

I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you all how thankful I am for you.

During a difficult roller coaster of a year, my clients have become friends, my friends have become family, and my family has stuck up for me when I needed them to the most.

I'm grateful for all of the special places you each have in my heart..... especially those of you who have sent me Starbucks cards, notes of encouragement, music, and hilariously random text messages. :)

You know who you are and it means the world to me.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with laughter, love, and lots of good family moments. :)

busy little man | Indianapolis Lifestyle Photographer

The best compliment I really can ever receive is when a family asks me to come back to photograph them again. Their first session with me last year was one of the easiest. Like... EVER. I will just say the jump from 1 to 2 makes a huge difference. :) Despite the chasing, it was so fun to see how much little B has changed and grown. Thank you, again, for the warm welcome and the laughs. Here are some of my favorites...

1) He's got things to do! I love seeing Mom in the background.

2) Of course with the hands...
3) I think he looks mischievous.... and it makes me laugh. Because he is. :)
4) His hair is SO cute.
5) I know it is just inside your garage, but I love this daddy moment and how you can tell he just thinks he is SO big. (B, not daddy. :))
6) B, I'm SO sorry to take you away from your tv time. I'm certain the next image is him pointing to the remote control with a teeny tiny pout. Poor guy!
7) The next 3-4 images need to go together. I'm just saying. I LOVE family in the bed shots. You add in a guitar and a snuggly little guy and I am SOLD.

8) S, I LOVE the way you are looking at A here.

9) Seriously. Sigh....
10) I think we wore him out. (or maybe both ways. :)) This is such a classic mommy moment, and I'm glad we caught it.
Thanks again, L family! :) I can't wait to see you next time!

1 Year Old Twins... | Indianapolis Children's Photographer

I have waited for a year to meet this cute set of twins, and am so thrilled that it worked out. They are so sweet and it is fun to see those little personalities peek out every now and then.

Thank you for the warm welcome into your home (even though I really felt like I already knew you! :))

Here are some of my favorites from the day...

I will be in touch soon! :)

Two Little Guys... | Indianapolis Lifestyle Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting these little guys last week.  As you can see... it's been a little crazy around here!  We are almost getting caught up..... almost!

Anyway... here are some of my favorites...

1) Love his impish eyes...  fitting I thought with the Curious George book. :)

2) A little man.... love that he fibbed about his age to me!  
3) Can you believe these eyes?
4) One year olds have LOTS to do....
5)... and places to go....
6) Love H's personality coming out here! He makes me laugh.
7) Perfect light in your beautiful home...
8) Something about this makes me smile.
9) Love that toothy smile...
10) Just a quick glimpse that IS the chaos of a session with children under the age of 3. :) All fun, of course!
11) Such a beautiful child... 
12) And so proud of himself. :)  Glad we got that last big smile.
Thank you again for the warm welcome.  I will be in touch in the next week. :)
