erin + nick: engaged

On a recent steamy afternoon these two took to the city streets and Karie and I were lucky enough to capture them. Can't wait for your guys' wintry December wedding!










And thanks to second shooter Karie for helping out with this one. She got some good ones!

harry goes to nashville

Some favorites from this weekend in Nashville, Indiana. Harry earned his bath that night!

karla + chris 9.15.07 wedding

After (as Karla's sister put it) a DECADE of dating, Karla and Chris finally tied the knot! They are two amazingly fun people, and their wedding was an absolute blast to shoot! What a day...I felt like I made so many friends! Thanks for letting me tell your beautiful wedding story.

Thank you, fan club!

I am so humbled and honored by the outpouring of comments and feedback on my IndyChannel nomination page. I never expected such a slew of warm and thoughtful comments about my work. (I was hoping for 5 or 6 and as of today I have over 30! WOW!) It is truly humbling to read such genuine appreciation for my art from folks that I don't even know, who are fans of my work thru my awesome clients. THANK YOU GUYS! The voting ends October 19, but I don't care if I win anymore, I've already been so blessed! UPDATE: I ranked 13th out of 64 photographers listed! THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR VOTES!!!

I have also been completely surprised by the number of potential prospects who have contacted me in the last week after seeing my nomination. No wonder, just look at some of the feedback you and your guests have posted...you guys truly rock!

So, here's the deal.

Ok, so I've come to terms with the fact that no one de-lurks by making comments on my blog, but statistics say I have a quite a few of you out there reading -- YES I AM TALKING TO YOU -- so, if you're here, then now's your time to take 16 seconds and VOTE for me (or someone else, but why would you want to do that?) as I'm in the running for the WRTV6 "Best Wedding Photographer in Indy" contest! Doesn't matter if you're a past or future client, friend, or even my mom, if you have an opinion, you can make a comment and cast your vote! Thanks!!!

(and, much love to my incredibly talented friend Andi Tippie for the awesome pic of me at Boot Camp :)

Wedding Photographer Boot Camp

The Family Guys: Happy Birthday

Today is the birthday of two very important men in my life.

First, my little brother Ben, who as a child, made it his mission to frustrate and exasperate his bossy older sister. Luckily, he grew up, and has been my best friend, strongest ally and protector, and is a fantastic husband, dad and uncle. Although he obviously hasn't let that change his bizarre sense of humor.













And Happy Birthday also to Grandpa Howard, who has an unfailing dedication to his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He lives for the little ones, and we all love him for it.













Happy birthday guys!

Congratulations Mike & Amanda

Some fave shots from Mike & Amanda's engagement session last night on the canal...Thank God winter is over! These two are obviously incredibly happy together, and I can't wait for their downtown wedding this October!
