courtney & adam

I had a blast shooting this wedding yesterday! Courtney and Adam are an adorable couple! They are very loving to one another and seem to always be having fun! I also really enjoyed their friends and family. Everyone was really laid back and they all seem to know how to have a good time!! Both the ceremony and reception were at great locations and the wedding as a whole was beautiful...despite the snowy weather! Congratulations Courtney and Adam!!!!

osp....amazing!!

This has been an incredible week for me. I attended a photography conference, OSP Indy, downtown. I was able to hang out with some incredible photographers as they shared their secrets of success!!! We spent the day Monday shooting under different lighting situations and later went to dinner at PF Changs. Tuesday I was able to listen to different photographers speak about their success and Wednesday about album design. The best part of this conference was being able to network and build new relationships with other photographers that I have admired for so long!!! Below I have posted a few pictures from the natural lighting shoot lead by Jessica Strickland and Amber Holritz.

puerto vallarta!!!

This is Aubey.





One of my best friends Aubrey Pepper and I were hired to shoot an awards celebration for PMA in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Times like these are when you realize being a photographer is one of the BEST JOBS EVER!!!! We were there for five days and had an absolute blast! Although most of our shots were of people accepting awards, I had a few chances to shot some other pictures. Aubrey is an amazingly talented photographer and person! Check her work out at www.aubreypepper.com.
P.S. I know some of these pics are random...go with it.

lucy!!!

Here's Lucy ready for the big game! GO COLTS!

Okay...so I take way too many pictures of my dog. But she's always willing to model as long as there are treats involved! And who can resist that under bite?

scott & whitney

I had a lot of fun with these two! Scott and Whitney are a very laid back couple who aren't afraid to be a little silly! I look forward to shooting some outdoor engagement pictures when the weather gets a little nicer...but for now these will do!

Drew Morris

This is Brian and my good friend Drew. He works for Foot Joy out in Boston but was here visiting his family for Christmas. We always love when he comes to Fishers to visit us. This time he spent New Years with Brian and Me. Through working for Foot Joy, Drew has done some modeling work for their catalogs and is interested in doing more. So today we decided to do a few head shots.

Clara Elizabeth

Clara Elizabeth Lynch was born on November 21st. I had the joy of taking some pictures of her today. There is no better model that a tiny newborn! Plus, I think she slept through most of the photo shoot:) Congratulations Blair and Karlyn!!!

The Lawson Family

This past Sunday I did family pictures for the Lawson family. I had a lot of fun taking pictures of them. I could tell they are a very close family and have a lot of fun together.

colorado

Last weekend I went out to Colorado to visit my brother Chad and his wife and kids.
It's always a joy to be able to see my two little nephews, Jonathan and Aiden. They are both under the age of two!
You would think Chad and Meghan have their hands full, but they are amazing parents!!
While I was there I was able to take a few family pictures. I miss you guys already!!!
