Go! Go! Go! :: Indianapolis Portrait Photographer

These 2 sweeties were sooo different. Like most siblings. One was on the go go go and one just sat, stared and laughed the whole. I'll let you try to figure out who is who from this mini session :o)

Neighborhood friends :: Indianapolis Portrait Photographer

I love my neighborhood...not only for it's location, but mainly because of those who live here and enrich our lives daily. This is one of those families. Our kids have played and battled together since birth. The husbands love to hang out. The wives love to hang out. We do back yard dinners and camping trips together. We swap kids. We carpool. We laugh together. We cry together. We drink good wine together. We yell at each other across the fence :o) We just get to share our lives together...it doesn't get much better than that.

I have the privilege of documenting their lives as they are...right now. Here are my favorites...

The McKeowns :: Indianapolis Family Photographer

You may recognize some of these friends. We squeezed in this awesome session just before the rain came and the light disappeared. Here are a few of my favorites!

This little cutie is one of my all-time favorite models. She wore this outfit so I could take a picture of her in it and then she changed :o)



No, it's not right that mama looks this good after giving birth, but she does. Well done girl!




Gorgeous!




Finally...all the same height ;o)




Proud Grandparents!




Can you tell their related :o)




Love the tree idea!

The Sweetest :: Indianapolis Portrait Photographer

I just love this family! I always smile when I see them and editing these pictures was no different...a big cheeser on my face the whole time. They totally rocked this COLD session. The kiddies were awesome and I had nothing but smiles and fast moving little girls to capture :o) I think these are all my favorites! Enjoy my friend!

Jenny and the SNL shoot :: Indianapolis Senior Photographer

I had so much fun with Jenny! We went all around downtown at night! Luckily it wasn't too cold and we got done just in time before the rain came :o) Plus, Jenny brought a friend to hold the flash (thank goodness!) and laugh with. I love traveling around with entourages! My Red Chair Rue website is in the process of being done. In the mean time, all my senior info is still on my portrait website.

Here are just a few of my favorites. You look GORGEOUS girl!


I LOVE natural smiles!



Ummm...have I mentioned how much I love our city?!



These next two were lit by my car headlights! I just made it work as Tim Gunn says :o)






I have a knack for making trains magically appear when my senior stand on the railroad. LOVE IT!


FAVORITE! I love everything about this shot. It looks like film to me.



Beautiful!!!






You look so pretty in these dresses Jenny!

The Alt Family :: Indianapolis Portrait Photographer

Photographing 17 people was definitely one of my bigger photo shoots! But this lovely family had it all under control...just look how put together everyone looks! It was a beautiful day so we were able to outside, which the kids loved. Plus, the Colts had just won yet another big game right before the session, so we were all in a great mood :o)

Here are some of my favorites, enjoy!

Proud Grandpa!

So sweet!

Okay...these girls were just so beautiful...inside and out!

Look at those guns!

Kate on the run :o)

Okay, these two sweethearts give me hope for my own boys one day. They were humble, gracious and so caring.

Hot mama!

Look at these 2 cutie patooties!

This one is canvas worthy.

A grandparent's dream.

Hinkle Fun :: Indianapolis Family Photographer

I went to DePauw with this sweet mom and dad. It's so fun to see both of them and their personalities in their kids now. Dad has a big job at Hinkle Field House, so we decided to do the pictures there. I love the feel that Butler has, it definitely reminds me of DPU in a way.

I LOVE this pic. Just so comfortable...

Are you kidding me with those eyes! Gorgeous!

So cute!

This should be blown up and hung in the stadium!

All Grown Up :: Indianapolis Senior Picture Photographer

This little cutie was one of my former third graders. It was so fun to reconnect with her last week. We were losing light quickly, but I'm so excited about some of the new places that I found. Plus, I'm pretty sure you can't take a bad picture of her :o) Enjoy!

I love the background on this picture and her natural smile!

The wind was on our side :o)

Gorgeous!

The Red Chair pic...

The backlighting was perfect!

We can't forget the entourage! Thanks so much for helping!

Okay, this one is a long story...but hilarious!

This is the same tatoo that Miss M's late mother had.

We had some inside jokes that we were laughing about :o)

So we tried to recreate a picture that Miss M had of her Mom in the 80s. They look so much alike. I hope this is what you were thinking!

Lots O' Babies :: Indianapolis Portrait Photographer

I met Renee at the Northside Twins & Mulitple Group last year. She has an amazing small business that she runs. You should totally check out The Busy Bee Paperie. We've been talking about a photo shoot for a while now, so last week we finally got together with the cousins to make it happen. Her boys are soooo handsome! And there little girl cousins are adorable. I had to be fast, but here are a few of my favs! Enjoy!

Fast fast fast!

Everyone looking, check. Everyone with a nice face, check. No movement, check. Wheewww...

More GAP Models :: Indianapolis Portrait Photographer

I love this family. They were a part of my 3rd grade family back in the day. These two babies are so adorable. Okay, he's NOT a baby anymore, but he's still adorable, and will always be 8 years old in my mind :o) The overcast weather was great and the it was even warm outside. These are some of my favorites.

Okay, are you kidding me?

This photo shoot was a long time coming...but we made it happen :o) I met this sweet Mama way back last year at my wedding in the Caymans. Now I get to meet her family.
