shhh... surprise! event photographer :: indianapolis, IN

So fun being part of a surprise birthday party. Jill successfully pulled off her husbands 50th birthday party... and she did more than pull it off! It was a HUGE hit and everyone worked to pull it off including their daughters, family and friends. It turned out to be a beautiful day and Joe had the pleasure of catching up with old friends and family.  Happy Birthday Joe and wonderful party Jill!! The first picture is when he realized what was going on and he didn't want to come in :)

Exited to share with you all the pictures from my 50th surprise birthday party from today. Up tomorrow is a newborn twins shoot. Can't wait for another day doing what I love :) hope you enjoyed your day today!!

handsome and only 9 mo old :: Indianapolis, IN children's photographer

Can you say HANDSOME??  This little one is adorable :)  He wouldn't warm up at first and just starred at me with his pouty lips and chubby cheeks.  After awhile he was all smiles .... either way what a catch he will be as he grows up.  Our shoot started with a storm and ended with these amazing images ;)

summer LOVE :: Indianapolis, IN wedding photographer

My first wedding was such an experience... Elizabeth Chapman has been an amazing mentor to me :)  Sarah and Matt are a gorgeous couple and made my job so easy!! I LOVED EVERY MINUTE of being a wedding photographer.  I CANNOT WAIT for my next wedding in July!! Here are a few looks into the day.... O and I must mention they are both aviation majors from the best school around PURDUE :) I swear I'm not biased at all.  But it was amazing to be able to take the training plane out and use it for our shoot.  ENJOY - I DID!!!

The LOVE is still there :: Indianapolis, IN couple photographer

After 6 years of marriage, they decided they had to get professional pictures done :) This couple knows how to have fun and are still so in LOVE.  Everyone should have picture taken to enjoy each day what was captured in the moment.  I can't wait for them to enjoy their first pictures for years to come... and WOW do I feel privileged to have been the chosen photographer!!

growing family :: Maternity/Family Indianapolis, IN Photographer

I went to college with Allison and boy have times changed from living in the sorority house together.  She has a beautiful growing family! She has an amazing husband, 2 girls and twins on the way.  The eldest girl was quite the camera hog... she LOVED getting her picture taken and at one point even took over as the photographer. They have just welcomed the 2 newest additions to the family and I can't wait to share the pictures with you this coming week :)  For now here are their family pictures from "before."
