Matt, Melissa & Ellie! Love, love, love!


Favorite! Um, huge canvas print?


This one makes me smile from ear to ear! Ellie, you are gorgeous!


Matt’s eyes + Melissa’s lips = Ellie!


LOVE. IT.

Thank you so much for sharing a few moments with me…again! I am so honored to have shot your wedding, your maternity session and now your family! I had such a great time meeting Ellie! We HAVE to do this again…maybe when it’s a little warmer here in the U.S.! K?

We met Chris and Brandi at Matt and Melissa’s wedding a year and a half ago so, when Brandi contacted us about shooting her wedding, I was super-stoked! What a blast it was to hang out with Chris and Brandi in downtown Chicago for their engagement session! It’s no secret…I love Chicago! Here are a few of my faves from the day…

Loop!

Brandi’s eyes! Unretouched!






Matching pockets! That deserves another smiley!





FAVORITE!



Chris just grabbing Brandi and layin’ one on her! Love it!





I absolutely love Brandi’s hair blowing around in this one…it’s Chicago and it’s just real. Dig it!


Ok, can I have two favorites?



*Heart*


The end.

Chris and Brandi, thank you so much for hanging out with us for a few hours…we dug every second of it! Can’t wait for your wedding next year at the Eiteljorg!

I knew Brian and Alisha were going to be fun right from the moment I met them! They’re are going to be married in Cincinnati where they live but, decided to do their engagement session right here in Indy! I had such a super-fab time strolling around downtown with these two! Here are a few of my faves!

Alisha’s waaaaaay gorgeous eyes!

LOVE IT!! And I just bet that Alisha still has that shot I took on her iPhone!

!!!!!!






Um, HOT!



Brian, perfecting “badass”!!!






Alisha’s super-rad shoes!



Patty scored this one as I was shooting the one further up on this post…I like hers better!

!!!!!!…again!

Thanks for hanging with me you two! See you in October!

And Kara might look a little familiar to my blog readers…she was the maid of honor at Brandon and Keli’s wedding and Keli’s sister! Ok, let’s get right to the shots!

Absolutely beautiful!


Love it…I think Shannon’s saying, “Let’s ditch this photo shoot and go eat somewhere!”

Sunflare!







Kara making sure that Shannon’s smiling!

Just a little windy, but I dig this shot!

Thank you both so much! See you in June!

They rocked it! I barely had to pose them at all…which is good since I really don’t know how to pose at all!! Here are a few of my faves.

They’re standing on the wall!

Shot through a blooming tree.


The chadfranz.com abandoned doorway.


Kristina!



They’re trying so hard not to smile! It lasted about 5 seconds!

Love the light!



Dave was so awesome! He did all the kisses, lifts, hugs, etc. 100% on his own! All I had to do was shoot!


Told ya! They just did this on their own…I love it!

My favorite.

Thank you both! I’ll see you in the fall!
