Baby Cam Fisher : Broad Ripple Portrait Photography

We have always loved Broad Ripple for its charm, local restaurants, and just the overall feel of it. Before Steph and I met, we both lived there. So when we got to meet up with Nikole and Scott at their house in "The Rip" to take some family portraits, we were pretty excited to hit up Broad Ripple and even more so to take some pictures of baby Cam. He was a good sport considering some of the places we placed him! We know The Fishers since Scott is great friends with my brother and was actually in his wedding. It was great meeting the little guy and we had a blast getting some pictures after a few months of him being introduced to the world.

 

The Groggs Maternity Session: Avon, Indiana Portrait Photography

Looking back, it makes me laugh knowing that "Corn" is going to be a dad. You see, I remember his antics from college and someday I will pass those stories on to he and Andrea's unborn child. Having great friends is priceless and when they have a child, I feel like I gain a family member.  Steph and I can't wait to welcome the little boy or girl to this world in a few short months. They have done a fantastic job putting together a great, peaceful nursery for their little one. I look forward to being there as our new friend grows up and being fortunate enough to help them remember his first year and beyond with photographs.

 

Chris + Leslie I Bloomington Indiana Wedding

For nearly any reason to go to Bloomington is a good one. I absolutely love everything about the town and just walking around Kirkwood takes me back. So when I realized where Leslie was getting her hair done was in the heart of it all I got excited. Not only was I excited about Bloomington I was pumped to be there with Chris and Leslie as they joined their hands and new lives together.

You could tell after the ceremony that the stress and worries that come with planning a wedding all went away. Chris and Leslie, under the eyes of God, were now joined together. Just watching them as they sang their songs in praise you can tell that they could not be more excited to be husband and wife.

I had a blast shooting their wedding and know they have a long happy future together.

 

Henry on the farm: Indina Portrait Photographer

Looking back on his first pictures, Henry really has grown up a lot. One thing is for sure, with as much as he smiles is for sure a Woods.

I met them at Allison's parents house which provided some great backdrops in true Indiana fashion with corn, farm equipment, woodsy areas.....There is even an old bus that still has a couch in the back where they used to hang out back the in high school days. Seeing the Woods family is always a joy and I feel blessed to be able to watch their little boy grow up.

Some of my favorites with a sliedshow to follow!

Jaime + Josh I Greencastle Indiana Wedding

Ever since Jaime and Josh chose me to shoot their wedding I knew it was going to be a blast. My intuitions were proved correct from shooting their engagement session, each time we met, e-mails and any other type of communication with them.

Their big day arrived last weekend. From the momen Stephanie and I showed up, Jaime had the biggest smile on her face and you could tell she couldn't wait to marry the man of her dreams. The love they have for each other is apparent to all those around them and shooting their wedding was an absolute blast. Jaime was gorgeous and Josh was calm and cool.

We had a great time shooting a great couple. Below are some of my favorites followed by a slideshow!

Puppies & Fireworks - Indianapolis Photography

At the end of a long good ol' American weekend, what could be better than some pictures of puppies and fireworks. Stephanie's mom recently had a litter of beagle puppies so she went out to take some pictures of them. Since beagle puppies are incredibly cute, only one puppy is left! We also had a last minute decision to watch some fireworks on Monday night. We were able to watch from the backyard of our friends old house which is right across the way from where they were set off from. However, the house next door decided to have their own little show. I now know why most fireworks are illegal. They hit the house directly across from them landed a couple only a few short feet from where we were sitting. We actually took cover inside the house. Even with this, it was a great day and weekend and hopefully people kept in mind the troops who were far far away from home while celebrate our freedom.  

                                   Love it when they turn their head like this!

                                    "Hey why does he get to walk free?"

                                   This was Steph's favorite from the fireworks shots.

                                    Loved they symmetry of this one.

                                  The waterfall type ones are my personal favorite.

Welcome to the Big Show, Jason & Erin Scott!

I had been looking forward to Jason and Erin's big day for months, and the excitement grew after getting a glimpse at historic Fountain Square Theaatre the week of the wedding.

I've known Jason for years, and really got to know Erin during their wedding planning.  These two are such a natural pair, and shooting their wedding was a joy.  Though Saturday, June 4th was one of the hottest days of the year, Jason and Erin were calm and cool on their big day.  If you know Jason and Erin at all, you know their relationship is founded on friendship, no fuss & muss, and lots of FUN!  Erin, Janis (her mom), and Julie & Alicia from J.A. Alexandra had the wedding planned to a T, and the guests loved every minute of the party... and that's what it was... a true party.

From the minute guests arrived, they were greeted by Erin & Jason's name up in lights which really set the tone for the evening!  With personalized "Coming Attractions" posters, a photo booth, a bridal party of 25, and around 300 people in attendance, the marquee's message held true throughout the night "Welcome to the Big Show!".  And of course, the star of the show was Erin.  She looked absolutely stunning in her beaded gown and glowing smile.  The red accents in her flowers and centerpieces really added a pop to their pictures.  The young and young-at-heart crowded the dance floor all night long. These people know how to throw a party.

It was fun to also have my wife with me to shoot this wedding.  Congratulations, Jason & Erin!  Thank you such much for including us in your special day.  It was a blast, and we wish we could do it all over again.  Vow renewal, anyone?

When you have a beautiful couple like Erin & Jason, it makes a photographer's job easy.  Check out a few of my faves below, followed by a slide show.
