The Groove List: Vol. 1

One thing about me is that I absolutely love discovering new musicians/bands. Music really does have the ability to change the mood of anyone listening to it. This is why some people either can't get enough of or simply cannot listen to a particular song due to the feelings that are conjured up. One song that I can't get enough of is Halocene from Bon Iver . The video (below) was shot in Iceland which is a place on my bucket list and it just sucks you in. Pretty much every song put out by these guys is amazing. Put their music on shuffle and just relax.

Wedding Favorites - Indianapolis Wedding Photography

I have been fortunate enough to shoot some really great couples in some pretty sweet locations over the last few months. These couples have all been outstanding to work with and I am thankful for being a part of their big day. Here are some of my favorites from the last few months.

The Grant Family - Fishers IN Family Portraits

We first hung out with Sally and Bryan earlier this year while in Cabo San Lucas where it became clear that they are awesome to hang out with. Hectic schedules brought on the need to reschedule a few times so I was pretty excited when we were able to find some time that worked for everyone. I met them at their new house for the photo shoot where Luke definitely likes to walk around. He is one cute kid and knows how to make you smile.

Henry Woods 1 Year Photo Shoot - Danville IN

Ahhh the Woods family. Hanging around them just puts a smile on your face and now with little Henry that smile gets even bigger. We met up for his 1 year shoot at Beasleys Orchard which is a great place in Danville to take photographs. Henry was a big fan of the apples, some of which we had to take away from him. Stephanie and I really enjoyed seeing these guys again and look forward to the next time we get to hang out.

The Thomas Family - Indianapolis Family Portrait Photography

I met JT & Kurt through one of my close friends a number of years ago. It was pretty clear right away that I was going to get along with them. The entire family has an awesome sense of humor which came out during the shoot with quotes from Talladega Nights. We walked around Indianapolis Art Center which provides plenty of unique photo opportunities. I had a blast taking their photographs and always look forward to seeing these guys.

 

The Dennison Family I Indianapolis Portrait Photography

The Dennison's have had a hectic schedule lately with a couple of moves over the past few weekends. We were finally able to reschedule a time that worked for everyone. Jonah is such a happy little boy and he sure was smiling away when I arrived. We went to a park near their house and I must say that playgrounds these day bare no resemblance to when I was growing up. This stuff is space age and there wasn't normal swing in site but the park was pretty cool I must say. I always enjoy seeing and photographing Sara, Kenny, and their precious little Jonah.

He likes to show that big, natural smile

Pretty obvious how happy he makes the whole family!

Had a blast photographing these guys.

Sayla + John I Indianapolis Engagement Session

Sayla and John are two of the warmest people you could ever meet.  Stephanie and I are so thrilled to have met these kind-hearted people, and we can't wait to shoot their big day.  As the leaves begin to change and all of the autumn's colors are in full bloom, we thought it would be a great time of year to shoot their engagement session.  The weather was beautiful, and Sayla and John were naturals.  There was a lot of laughter and love, which I'm sure follows these two wherever they go. 

To Sayla and John, thank you for such fun, and we are thrilled to be a part of your wedding next month! 

This tree really grabs your attentions.

Sayla, hug that man of yours!

Can definitely tell these two are in love.
