D + J = true love

The bride and groom.........


The bouquet............



The ladies................




The men...............



The girls..............

Thanks for letting me be a part of your day. ;)

Trashing the dress....not for the faint of heart.

Meet Macey. She is my Trash the Dress queen.



What is Trash the Dress you ask?


Just a fun little photo session, maybe to spice up your senior pics, yes?


Take your old prom dress, or thrift store find.....and get a little WILD.


Life's to short to be serious.......Trash that dress.

Blue eyed lady...lovely lady.

Meet Aimee.

Isn't she lovely? Those blue eyes.....I'm telling you this girl is gorgeous!!! And such a sweetheart. Aimee is the first senior to reply to my request for 2010 models. And lucky me, she is a beauty, inside and out!



Amiee is from Danville...my alma mater. Woot, woot! So we trekked around town, my old high school stomping grounds, and snapped the afternoon away.


This is the first time I've done a photo shoot in D-ville since starting my photography biz. I have so many good memories of growing up there, such a great place to raise kids.


And can this girl strut her stuff or what? I think so. And I'm still needing a few more models people...so tell your friends. Don't miss out on this opportunity. It's great fun I tell ya, just ask Aimee. ;)

Babies, babies and more babies!

So, I've done 2 newborn shoots in one week!! Whew! Is there anything sweeter though? Not at all. Especially this little boy. Such a sweetheart. He was such a little trooper, he made my heart melt! 16 days old and on the road for modeling....maybe I'll hire him some day! :)

I had such a good time at this session, his mom and dad were fabulous and uncle Joe wasn't bad either. It was so great to be with you all.

Laila.....you've got me on my knees.

Meet Laila. She is two weeks old in this picture. And very, very angry. :) But it's so cute right? Laila belongs to Landon and Hailey....I did their couple/maternity shoot a little over a month ago. Don't they make a beautiful little girl?

Anyways...Miss L was anything but happy during our session. I guess she doesn't like having a camera pointed in her face. Tsk, Tsk, Laila...your mama needs to teach you how to strike a pose. ;) Sadly, most of the pics I got were of a crying little girl. But, I think we will try again...but maybe bribe her with chocolate?

Just kidding...she is beautiful, crying or no.

The B family.....straight up fun.

The B family was the winner of my fourth o' July blog contest....yay!!!! So on a lovely Sunday night we had ourselves a good ole time. They live really close to me...almost neighbors, our kids go to the same school, and Kristen has done my kids hair......and my toes, in case you were wondering.

This session was shot at the home of Kristen's mom and dad. Good lord is it beautiful? Yes...actually it is. Such a great place to take pics.

So here is a little sneak peek at the session....a little teaser if you will. ;) And check out those baby blues on the little man.

Enjoy!

The K Family...how I love you guys.

How cute are they....seriously?



Okay...so who wants to meet John, Nancy, and Ginny? Trust me, you WANT to know this family. They are so great! I had so much fun shooting them. I first met this family through a mutual friend, and I'm so glad I did....I can't say enough good about them.

We did the shoot at their home in Indy, just hanging out in theirebeautifully landscaped yard. Shout out to Nancy y'all....that's her department.

And little Ginny....awwww, she is the sweetest! Such a pleasure to take pictures with that girl! Her personality certainly shines through on camera. And the whole time we were taking pictures Ginny was shouting "Cheese" over and over. Too cute!

Lil' Mama-to-be

Could this be any cuter? I don't think so. I got many, many, many belly shots of this little lady. And also some fun ones just for me...(what can I say, I'm a sucker for Converse tennis shoes).Such a sweet little mama. I can't wait to see her little one. She will be showing up in just a few weeks. I can't wait to hold little Miss L! I'm sure she'll be just as pretty as her mama....oh and grandmama too ;)

Cinquenta Fiesta...baby!

I had the great pleasure of shooting a surprise 50th birthday party over the weekend, for a beautiful lady. And in case you can't tell from the pics....50 is the new 30 ;). I had so much fun at this party!! Such a beautiful family and they know how to have a good time, let me tell you. Can you say mariachi band? I think I want one at my next party.....if only I could speak Spanish. And last but not least there was a unexpected, tearful homecoming for the birthday girl. What's sweeter than a mama and her son?

Best wishes to you Miss C. on your special day. :)
