Happy Thanksgiving!I just wanted to share one of my new favorite images before I take a break from the computer this weekend. I don't know if it's his expression or the way his feet are but I love it! It's totally real to me. Have a great weekend! If your holiday weekend has already started...safe travels! I'm looking forward to catching up with my friends, eating good food and visiting one of my favorite people in the world...Joni, my numerologist! I'll keep you posted on what's in store me this coming year! 
I was thrilled to get to meet Julia Failey a few days ago. We had chatted a bit about her photoshoot, and finally were able to meet in person. She is a jewelry designer in Chicago, and was going to be in Indy for a jewelry show. Her work is beautiful, and inspired by the outdoors. You have to check it out: www.juliafailey.com. Unfortunately on Monday, it was lightly snowing and freezing so we were unable to shoot outdoors, but we were able to get some great shots inside! I love her curls!!
I was so excited when this family contacted me. They wanted something fun and different, and were willing to try out a new location. I have never shot at the canal before, and they jumped on it! They wanted more organic and natural shots, and we had the perfect backdrop for playing around. Plus the gray clouds parted just in time to let the sun come out! I had a ball being silly with these guys!! And, they definitely have great style! 
My husband has told me time and time again to "stop photographing the cats!" I just can't help it! On the days when I am home editing, I get up a bit after he has already left for work, and the house is quiet and quite chilly right now. I eat my breakfast, turn on The Today Show and settle in to the couch to return emails and get to work on my photos. Within minutes this guy jumps up and settles in...not the most convenient for typing but we've figured it out...except for right now...I am getting an evil look! 
Something incredible happened over the weekend...I signed on to my stat counter and I saw the number 5,000! 5,000 visits to my blog! I absolutely love it and feel overjoyed that people come to visit me and see what is new. Photography is something I have always done for myself, so to have others wanting to know what is going on is awesome. And, I just feel really blessed.
I have to send a shout out to my husband because he has been the most incredibly supportive man since I have known him, but especially these past few weeks. My weekends have been filled with photo shoots, and my nights filled with hours of editing. So, for him to still want to know how it is all going and to see pictures...I love it. I know if our roles were reversed...I would be more pushy and want him to come out and play with me. Another reason why I love him so much...walking out our front door with him is always an adventure! I couldn't resist sharing this one from Halloween...so proud!
P.S. Halloween would be his favorite holiday.
I was so excited to get to spend the afternoon with Jovie last week. You may recognize her from one of the first few posts on my blog back when she was just born. Now it's 7 months later, and I can't believe how much she has grown. It seems like just yesterday we did her newborn shoot! Here are a few of my favorites!!
These guys are so fun! I wish I had a backyard like this when I was growing up! They were given so much freedom with this shoot...from what to wear to what activities they wanted to do...we fished, rode bikes, skateboarded, swung on the swing and climbed in the trees. Their mom really wanted them captured in their world. I loved it! You could see how much fun they have together as siblings, and their independence and creativity are inspiring!
"I'm a movie star!" was what their youngest was chanting throughout his one-on-one time during the shoot with me. It was cracking me up! You can see by his poses below that he could definitely make it in Hollywood! I had so much fun with these guys! We were racing against the sun because the time change on Saturday night didn't register with me or the fact that we would have an hour less of sunlight. But, the light was beautiful, the kids were a blast, and we had a ball! Plus, we finished up just in time to all go and see the Colts bring home a victory! 
If you have been following the blog for a long time, you may recognize precious Hallie here from a photo shoot I did awhile back for Bella Chic's anniversary party. She was the perfect model then, and continued to be this past Saturday. I had so much fun with these guys! I have seen Paul & Jason purchase things at Bella for their garden over the past year, so it was a joy to be able to go and see how it all came together...and, it is BEAUTIFUL! Check it out...
What a great way to start my weekend! A beautiful family with a beautiful day! Little Brooklyn and I were best friends from the start! She has the cutest room, and we had to whisper during most of the shoot because her babydoll was sleeping. And, we also got to have some fun with Mom and Dad when we got outside! What a fun and beautiful family!
