Searching August 28, 2010

Tonight I went searching. Searching for inspiration. Here’s what I found. We all find it somewhere…tonight mine was in our backyard!

I don’t know about you but whenever I see one of these I think of ‘Horton Hears A Who’!

Is that me? August 27, 2010

Do you know what it takes for me to get a picture of me? Two extended arms and a lot of blurry shots!! I never get pictures of me…not that I really would want any. But someday, far, far down the road..when I’m long gone, I want my kids to cherish the millions (and I do mean millions) of pictures I took of them…but every now and then I’d like them to know I wasn’t just behind the camera…but I was there too! With them, loving them, kissing them…just being close to them.

This is a pictures of me and the love of my life…he’s cute stuff! Trust me.

A Picture a day to keep the cobwebs away… August 25, 2010

Happy Wednesday…hope it’s full of sunshine and flowers!

Sharing the Love August 25, 2010

As I learn more in this ‘industry’ called Photography I also learn that the most important thing you can earn is referrals…and that means giving referrals to those whom you also love and appreciate! I’ve had some pretty amazing people help me along the way…ladies like my best friend Cathy Satre who is also a photographer in Indianapolis, and Michelle Young a photographer in Florida. They’ve answered countless dumb questions from me and always been there to guide me and help me learn as I journey through this adventure! I’d be lost without them…

So, in that spirit of sharing the love I want to share these two very fabulous Ladies websites with you….if what they give to the world is something you might need…look no farther! They are both talented and you’ll love what you get!!

Brides, Prom, Special Events…or just to look gorge!! Check out these handmade head pieces!

Seth and Emily |Married| – Ohio Wedding Photographer August 20, 2010

Words won’t suffice for this blog…sometimes you can’t say what you feel…you just experience it. I’ll steal another person’s words for this one…

“I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion -
I have shudder’d at it.
I shudder no more.
I could be martyr’d for my religion
Love is my religion
And I could die for that.
I could die for you. “
~ by John Keats ~

Seth and Emily thanks for letting me capture this small part of your journey…the start of your journey. May the Lord bless you and use you for great things….may your journey be full of love and joy, just like this day was.

Thank you again.

Stunning…simply stunning.

This was Emily’s Grandma’s necklace…it made her outfit perfect…it was gorgeous!

This time was precious….

These guys were up for anything.

Gorgeous girls!

Time for what we all gathered for…a wedding!

And then they were married!! Yeah!! Their faces say it all!

Really? Need I say anything else?

The back-lighting was gorgeous.

Probably one of the most fantastic group of Bridesmaids and Groomsmen ever!

They rocked ‘the dip’, let me tell you!

Then it was time to party!

Sometimes a blurry candid says it all….

Cool Blue August 20, 2010

I’ve been kind of MIA…but for two weeks I was on a vacation of sorts to visit my parent’s new place in Indiana! Of course photography/work was always in the back of my mind…as I’ve been editing weddings galore!!

Enjoy staring into the cool blue water…it was wonderful to swim almost everyday…in particular because it was record high temps in Indianapolis while we were there. Nothing beats a 105 degree day when you can just jump into the pool! Ahhhhh the luxury of ‘low maintenance’ living! Thanks Mom for the ‘vacation’!

You can see my children were equally in love with the pool!

The goggles for here were really less about using them and more about being stylish in the pool and seeing the world through purple eyes!

This last picture..if you know me…you get it! Another luxury of Indiana and vacation!

Stayed tuned for a post on one of the best weddings ever…coming soon!!

The Flory Family: Indiana Family Photographer August 16, 2010

I’ve known Sandy since I was a little kid. We were both missionary kids in Congo (then called Zaire). Years later Sandy and her sister Bonnie went to boarding school with me in Kenya. Bonnie quickly became my BFF!!   Here it is 14 years after High School, I mean 4 years…ok, I wish…and Sandy and I reconnect for an awesome family photo shoot! Amazing what the world of Facebook can do!!! Cheers to social networking! And as you will soon see from the pictures, her family is beautiful and so precious! Loved my time with them…and love the images we were able to capture! Enjoy these guys! Thanks again!!
