Event: Safari Party

I couldn't help but share some of the details from this party I photographed last week.  The party had a safari theme, and the planners didn't miss a beat!  Great Cooks planned and catered the party, and it was fabulous.  From the artwork on the menu...to the beautiful beaded wine bottle toppers.  They thought of everything!  

This week is jam packed with studio planning meetings, so I will be offline for a bit.  I should be back up and blogging towards the end of the week or early next week.  Have a good day!

SMP Framing

Framing is here!  I believe I have shared before that SMP will be carrying frames.  Yeah!  In the new studio I hope to have a couple of different options for you.  I'll have some classic frames, as well as some fun, funky frames.  A recent client just ordered a few, and I snapped a few pictures of them before they went out the door to hang on her wall.  I can't wait to see how they look in her home!  This first shot is of some sample colors the frames can be ordered in...

Wedding: Lorrie & Jason

Lorrie & Jason...two who were made for each other.  Their love for each other and their families is so apparent, and completely shines through with their wedding party.  The sister as the maid of honor, the dad as the best man...and, all the nieces and nephews had roles too. Even the 2 little babies who were pulled down the aisle in a beautiful wagon by one of their older cousins.  It was fantastic!  Lorrie was worried about getting some shots of all the kids before the meltdowns began, and I'd say we got it!  Along with many more for sure!  One of my favorite parts of photographing a wedding is telling the whole story for a couple.  All of the little details are so important.  So, here you go Lorrie & Jason!  I hope you are having a fabulous time in Jamaica!!  

New Studio for SMP!!!

Before we left for Thailand I was driving through Broad Ripple and it happened...the clouds parted, the sunbeams came down, music came out of no where and the butterflies lifted my car and flew me right down the street to where the halo of light was shining down on the most perfect VACANT location to make the new home for Sara Morris Photography. I made calls, sent emails, harassed my friend who works for the landlord, and basically begged and pleeded for the chance to take a glimpse inside. And, then we had to leave the country!!! I was convinced I would return to find a new, fancy business had moved in and swept away my dream. Then near the end of the trip I received an email back that they would love to show me the space! So, after months of wishing, talking, emailing and contemplating, the lease has been signed and SMP has a new studio and home! There is plenty of work to be done, but it has all been so exciting. Meeting with the floor guy tomorrow, the painter Thursday, and so on. I hope to be open officially sometime in June!

It's located in Broad Ripple on the back street of Westfield. Shares a parking lot with French Pharmacie and Petite Chou. RSVP use to be located there. If you head south on College towards Broad Ripple Avenue, turn left on the one way street just before you get to Broad Ripple Ave, pass by Bazbeaux, Midtown Grill and Petite Chou and then you have arrived!

The "studio" space will be used for many things...a gallery, a meeting space, a shooting space, a framing store, and so much more! I am still working out all of the logistics, but will keep you posted as things unfold!

Also, I owe you fantastic blog readers an apology. Normally the blog would have been my first place to go to spill the beans, but in my excitement last week I updated my Facebook status to say I had signed the lease and then it all unfolded from there. If you are on FB please search for Sara Morris Photography and become a fan. It's a great community on there!

So, without further ado...

Portrait: Nate

Look at this little guy!  4 weeks old, and a complete angel.  Poor little one was working on getting over a cold, and I couldn't get over how cute his sneezes and coughs were.  He was such a trooper, and quite the little model.  I can't wait to go back to do this whole family in the fall!
