my niece. indianapolis. engagement session. in love.

I keep writing things and deleting them because nothing seems to show how happy I am for this couple. She’s one of my amazing nieces who over the years I’ve been so proud of… In my mind I keep wanting to live through her and all her amazing talents and successes and adventures. She has guided me down raging rapids without missing a beat, and she had shown such strength that I can only dream of having…
And now she’s getting married to a wonderful wonderful man. How happier could I be?

Dr Seuss once wrote, “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

dancing, swirling, swinging

How can you NOT have fun on a session when you get to dance in the fields, roll in the green grass, swirl and swing?? Oh and pet horses:)I think I had just as much fun with these kids as they did. Everyone should run and dance in a field… It really should be some sort of requirement for life:)

Circling back around

A few years back I had a client drive all the way from DC to have her maternity and newborn images done. I was honored that someone think so highly of my work, to drive – PREGNANT 3 hours to get to me and then turn around a month later, when the baby was born and do it again. Mom was inspired after her baby was born and turned to photography herself.
So when I got the call from this family and she told me that she was referred by Kaileen, my old client, now photographer – I thought that was pretty cool how things sometimes circle back around.

I’m glad she did. This family was nothing short of great to photograph. We spent a wonderful evening together– running, playing in the play house, jumping on the bed and riding in the wagon.

I welcome JULY!

With open arms!!
June has been such a month of ups and downs. Today, July 1, I’m welcoming you with open arms!!
The highs of having amazing work come my way and meeting new wonderful clients to be toppled by the exhaustion of hospitals and illnesses – its been one heck of a ride to say the least!

In one of the many magazines I’ve read sitting in a hospital room somewhere, i jotted down this..

Count the garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall. Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll. ~Author Unknown

A little reminder that no matter what is thrown your way– flowers still bloom, birds sing, sun shines (and kids still want silly bands).

Maternity/Newborn Session

I’m in love with these Maternity/Newborn sessions. Within a few months (weeks in this case!!!) I get to see amazing clients and enjoy some amazing moments with their newborns.
I was reading an article the other day in a magazine and there was a quote by someone I cant remember now. It was 2 simple words that really sum up so much.

“LIFE IS.”
