Ashley's Little G's....

These boys were "all boy", I loved it. They were a joy to work with and a bit challenging, however I like challenges. The weather and lighting were perfect and the kids did great. They may have sounded like a person in distress, so we found out when a man stopped to help us thinking someone was having a heart attack -due to all of the yelling; but they looked too cute and that's what counts in a photo!!! Anyhow, I tried to break out some fun cute stuff with the costumes, but it didn't flow as nicely as I would have liked, but still cute and that won't stop me from trying it again. Anyhow, I am pleased with the photo-shoot and was happy Ashley gave me the opportunity. I would like to thank the farmer down the road for being so kind to let us shoot some photos on this property!!! I hope you like the sneak-peek and like always there's more on the way. Thank you!!! Enjoy.

The Girls!

What sweet gals, this was a challenging photo-shoot for me. The more people in a photograph the harder it is to set-up and focus-in, even more so with a little one. However, I'm improving by the shot and learning more everyday. These sweet gals were a lovable bunch and were easy to work with, so I lucked out. Due to a prior illness one had to leave early, therefore the shoot turned into a mini-shoot about 30 min. In that short time I was able to capture some good shots and I learned a few different things along the way. One is the focus setting on my camera for multiple people, another was to have more of a plan mapped out in my head on posing multiple people. I feel very comfortable posing one-two people, three pulse I need to work on. That will be my next challenge -seeking out families. So if you know any families of 3-6 people needing "family photos" have them call me by September 2010 for 20% off a photo-shoot (317-403-3713). I would like to thank the gals for giving me the opportunity to shoot some photos of them and I wish our little trooper would get to feeling better. I hope you enjoy the sneak-peek and there are more to come!!! Thank you!

Baseball Time!!!

This was a fun project for me. Not only did it bring back memories of my childhood, but it made me super excited for the future with my boys. One of my friends is wanting a life size wall picture of her little guy, most people know them as "Fat Heads" (which, I can do upon request)... However, I was a bit bummed out because I didn't get as many photos as I wished, due to a short game and my prior obligations. The game the week before was rained-out so this was a last minute re-schedule opportunity. I typically like to get to locations prior to the shoot and scout out the area to make the most of the session. I like to give my clients as much to choose from as possible. Although, I wasn't able to do that and time was minimal, I did get a handful of shots that I was happy with. I hope Ashley and her family like the sneak-peek and there are more to come! I always enjoy Ashley's company and was honored to have the opportunity to capture a moment in her sons life. Thank you!!! Enjoy....

Molly & Jeff's Little Princess

Cute, cute, cute....That is funny that I think that because she looks just like daddy!!! Molly and Jeff are so lucky to have such a pretty little baby. I felt blessed getting the opportunity to shoot some shots of her at such a young age, 2 months- I think. Anyhow, was this a learning opportunity for me or what, I can't help but laugh. Molly is from out of state and was here in Indiana on a visit, so we met at a local park to see each other and snap some shots. My-goodness, was it ever hot and muggy then it started to rain. I think the heat was getting to our little princess, causing for extra fussiness that only mommy could fix-what a mamma's girl. Molly and I both had our 2 yr. old boys, and they were loving it. Both of them had a great time playing and my youngest was on his high-speed crawling mood going everywhere. I'm surprised we were able to get any pictures in at all. When I left I told Molly "Well, I think we might have one worth using?" But little miss photogenic helped me pull through and I'm happy with the results. The main thing I learned from this photo-shoot was keeping the baby in it's own environment and plan to have plenty of time. If I were to do it over again, I would also bring some more prop stuff, baskets and so-on... Anyhow, I had a great time chatting with Molly and seeing her kids. Even though we both were dripping in sweat by the end, I had a good time. I would like to thank them for allowing me to shoot some great photos of their newest addition!!! I hope you like the photos and their is a few more to come. Roy and I need to come visit you and check out your new place!!! Take care.

Marcus's Mini-Session

Marcus, what a wonderful little boy. He is my youngest and such a funny baby. I've been blessed to have two healthy boys, they are a perfect reflection of their father, lucky little devils. I've always had a love for art but they helped me find my love for photography. Anyone with little ones can tell you, it can be very crazy and time disappears like a magic trick. When I'm having a hard day I like to remind myself that I'm going to miss these days. My patients at the hospital always tell me to take plenty of photos, I just say "I will" little do they know I'm photographer. I want many photos to reflect back and I would love to offer that to my clients as well. The "Mini-Session" is a new thing that I'm going to try, and is a great way for my clients to have a fast and affordable way to capture their mile-stones. This session would be good for a child, pets, a quick engagement session, the options are endless. As of now the sessions will be 30 minuets, 1 location, 1 outfit at $60, with a max of 2 people per session, each additional person will be $15 extra. You will receive a CD of your full session along with 7 edited photos. No copyright rules and edited photos will be offered password protected-on-line at cost, as always. I will also need a minimum of 6 groups, so talk with your friends and we will set-up a location and let the fun begin. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!!!

Mr. Brock's Portfolio

Brock, what a neat person. He is a free spirited man and so very laid-back, making it easy to work with him. This photo-shoot was done sometime ago, but I have been working on his portfolio book to help him in auditions or whatever else might come along. He's out in this big world looking for something that will make him smile, as we all should be. He would be perfect at modeling or acting and I hear he is pretty mean on the drums too. In this session I had fun putting him in different locations and seeing the results the camera had to offer. I hope he likes his book and I would like to thank him and little miss Debra for working with me. Thank you, Enjoy!!!!!
