Rustic Whims & Spiced Amber

It is so hard to believe that summer is already over! Where did the time go? Senior class photo sessions are booking fast. I only have a couple dates in September and October left so be sure to call right away to save your date. Just a reminder, we've officially entered Family holiday portrait season. If you need your Family portraits for Christmas all sessions and orders must be completed by December 1st to ensure delivery before Christmas. Because October, with fall foliage bursting in full color, is the favored month for Family portraits, I only have two dates left that month.

Here's a little sneak peak from a back-to-school session we had yesterday with Sabrina:

This shoot was SO MUCH FUN! Sabrina has a real eye for background patterns and textures. We found some of the coolest, right out-in-the-open nooks and crannies to shoot in!

This alley was one of her favorite spots.

I love the colors and texture of this old brick wall. We were both amazed we had never noticed it before.

This is officially my new favorite location to shoot portraits! Everywhere we turned within 20ft of this cool gated door was just AMAZING for urban backdrop. We could have shot there all evening and will definitely be shooting there again!

Okay, I can't help it....I LOVE that purple purse!! Love love love!

Thanks very much Sabrina!

It's that time of year again and this weekend it is all about back-to-school and senior photo shoots. Hope everyone had a great summer!

Porter County Fair

We couldn't have picked a better night for the fair...cool temps, low humidity, great breeze! No sweating, no suffering. :-)

 
 

National Icon

Aren't they beautiful?! I have seen them in the wild but never close enough to photograph and never with a camera handy enough had they been. Photographing them in the wild is definitely on my bucket list.
 

welcome home

Indiana welcomed home a deployment of troops today returning from Afghanistan. As is now customary, the Patriot Guard escorted them from the airport to their respective posts. The Patriot Guard also stands vigil at all KIA funerals as a barrier between grieving family members and protesters who show up to defile the fallen for his or her  service and harass the families at one of the most difficult moments of their lives. I was honored when they asked me to participate in their flag guard today. It's always a good day when they come home.
