Ethan is 9 months old!

Meet Travis and Amanda's sweet little Ethan! He was full of energy for his shoot at the canal a couple of weeks ago.

I LOVE this one below, he is such a happy baby!

This cracked me up because this is one of my favorite family shots to do but Ethan wanted to peek at his parents in the background!

Luke & Kendall's engagement shoot!

I had a blast with Luke and Kendall at their e-pic shoot. Patrick and I took the whole day (and all 3 of our kids) and headed down to Louisville, KY to The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Kendall is a student at Boyce College and Luke is a seminary student. They met at the Founders Cafe there at the seminary. I have known Kendall for many years now and it's been a joy watching her grow and mature into a beautiful young woman. And after meeting Luke I know that God is going to use them in a powerful way in His ministry. It was so neat for Patrick and I to be back at the seminary because this was the place where we settled right after our wedding 8 years ago. Patrick was a student at the seminary and I worked there. We loved living there and in the beautiful city of Louisville. So being there brought back so many memories for me of an exciting time of my life as a new bride and wife. It brought an excitement back after watching Kendall and Luke and knowing that they too are getting ready to begin that journey that Patrick and I did several years ago. And it also made me feel old being there now with 3 kids! There are so many awesome shots I got that day but can only highlight the day on the blog for you, so here they are...

After getting this shot (above) through the window on this door, Kendall's mother Ann thought it would be neat to write scripture across the front of the door. So I picked my life verse as I thought it was appropriate for them at this time in their lives as well!

HELLO COVER MODELS!

We were actually a little nervous as the forecast was calling for rain, so Kendall had this cute umbrella for some fun shots. But the rain held off for us!!!

We found this structure on the way downtown and we just had to stop to get some pictures by it. It was a free standing structure of the front of an old building, how awesome, huh?

We are so excited for you guys and can't wait for your wedding in December!!!

Jonathan & Suzanne's Wedding!

It was such an honor for me to be able to shoot this wedding. I have known the bride since she was an infant. Her sister, Sarah, and I have been the closest of friends since we were in grade school. We all grew up in the same church together and share many, many memories. Suzanne and Jonathan got married on September 12th at Northside Baptist Church here in Indy.Here's Sarah with her daughter Soren and baby #2 on the way! Soren wore Madison's (my daughter) dress as she was the flower girl in the wedding.

Marlene, the proud Mom watching her baby girl get ready for her big day!

They had the neatest, emotional private moment. I loved how the light caught them during this special time!

This shows their personalities!

Suzanne looked stunning!

The father's give each other a "high five" for the marriage of their children

I thought this was the coolest idea for pew decor. They framed their engagement pictures and hung them with ribbon on the ends of the pews.

Suzanne's family owns Joseph's rug store here in Indy so they incorporated one of the rugs in their ceremony here.

And they closed the night with a family mini concert. Suzanne and Stephen both sing/play for Sarah's band. And Jonathan is a drummer so he fits right into the family!

Zachary and Joe!

Welcome little Zachary into the world! I had the privilege of meeting him and his big brother Joe a couple of weeks ago. They are both precious little boys. My favorite shot of the day (below). This is the one we used for his birth announcements!

I had to put this shot in here of Joe taking a picture of me taking a picture of him. He kept calling me the "camera lady". The next morning after the shoot his Mom, Kelly, e-mailed me to say that Joe woke up that morning and asked where the "camera lady" was. Hilarious!
