Read MoreI got to photograph some great ballet again last weekend. The Indianapolis School of Ballet performed at Penrod last weekend. I really missed it over the summer! Ballet is so beautiful and addictive.
Read MoreLast week I had the amazing opportunity to photograph a ballet LEGEND, Violet Verdy, while she taught a master class at Indianapolis School of Ballet. I was humbled by her presence and beauty. She is so positive and uplifting. You just melt when she smiles at you... When I learned about her life and accomplishments - WOW. Here is her bio from the Jacobs School of Music where she teaches now:
Read MoreThis was my fist engagement shoot. It was so fun that I want to say yes! to every engaged couple that asks in the future. I don't do weddings, so I have always said no to the engagements - boy, was that a mistake. I said yes to this sweet couple because they are special to me. The groom is my son's cello teacher, and when I talked to his fiance for the first time on the phone, I was so excited for the shoot. They were so, so cute!! Just look at them!! It made me remember this time in my own life and how exciting everything was. Not that having 3 kids and driving to either soccer, cello, or ballet everyday isn't a blast. I'm just sayin - it was a different kind of fun...
Read MoreI think this is my new favorite picture. This sweet little boy kept running off and picking flowers for his mom. Then he would run back with the flower and proudly present it to his mom. It was the sweetest!! It made me miss my little boys who are 9 and 12 now. They are still very sweet and loving, but they don't run around gathering me flowers anymore:(

Read MoreTwo YEARS ago I took the photos of the boys on the Trail's End popcorn packages that the Boy Scouts sell and they are finally out!! Last year the production of the new, more environmentally friendly, bags was postponed, but they are here now. They also put my photos on a few boxes. It was a fun project. The ad agency that hired me is in Evansville. They wanted to use a portrait photographer instead of a commercial one because they had trouble in the past getting natural looks from the kids. So they called me....
Read MoreI had the pleasure of photographing an extremely talented ballerina a few weeks ago for the Indianapolis School of Ballet'supcoming ballet, Russian Treasures. If you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it. All of ISB's ballets that I have seen over the last few years have been top notch. All the information is on the poster.
Read MoreDue to popular request, I am scheduling school picture - "micro" sessions again this March. If you are unhappy with your child's school pictures, this is another option. Micro sessions are 5-10 minutes in length and are meant for ONE child only. You will have 10 - 20 proofs in a password protected gallery from which to choose your favorites. If you would like pictures of multiple children, you may schedule back to back sessions for each child. The sitting fee is only $20 per session and is non-refundable and required in advance to reserve your session. Contact me soon to schedule your school pictures, they book fast.
Read MoreThis is my good friend Erin, her husband, Jason, and their beautiful new baby. This shoot was extra special for me because Erin is not only a close friend, but she is an incredible graphic designer and blogger. She designed my cool logo that I love. Her website is Erin Vale Design if you want to check it out. Our husbands are close too, so it's been entertaining for us to watch Erin and Jason go through a pregnancy and become new parents. Our youngest baby is 7 now, so the memories of what we went through during that time in our lives is still kinda fresh. Right now, Erin and Jason are enjoying the sleepless haze that comes with getting up every few hours to change and feed the baby. And everything about their lives is revolving around this little, tiny human. The next thing they'll know is that little G won't want them to give her a kiss when they drop her off at school. It goes so unbelievably fast.
Read MoreI love newborn shoots. I don't think there is anything more amazing than a newborn. This is how I get my baby fix. My baby is going to be 7 this month and I'm not handling it well. I love watching my kids grow up, but it is so bitter sweet. I just want to soak them in and never forget a moment. I'm going to be a mess when I have an empty nest. Sigh.
