Indianapolis Maternity Photographer | Baby Bump
Posted on January 6, 2012
Before the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, I had a maternity photo session! Tamicka and I talked on the phone several times before her shoot. Just hours before the shoot she called and I could tell she was a bit nervous. The moment she got in front of the camera, her nervousness disappeared. She laughed, joked and was open to try anything.
Tamicka, you were great and I had a blast. You look gorgeous!
Tamicka’s daughter who is a sweetheart was my light tester!

I can’t think of a better way to end a session than to have a picture taken with your BFF!
Thanks Heidi… I hope you enjoy these!

Indianapolis Wedding Photographer | Harriett + Vincent
Posted on November 25, 2011
Everyone that knows me know if there are two things that I like to do it’s cooking and singing! What are the chances of me having an opportunity to shoot the wedding for a couple and he’s a chef and she’s a singer! The minute I learned of this, I knew God was up to something…to place two people in my life that share my favorite pastimes has to be nothing but Divine Intervention!
Harriett and Vincent are both from Wisconsin and have only lived here in Indy about 6 months. They could have decided for their wedding to take place back home but decided to have it here. How perfect to start a life together in a location where they both are starting afresh… new friends, new jobs, new relationships.
I am honored to be a small part of this newness! Just a few pictures from Harriett and Vincent’s engagment session!

Posted on November 23, 2011
One of Nicholas’ favorite songs is Three Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. He would request to hear that song over and over and over and over again! When we sing the song to him, he would just laugh! Or was he laughing at our singing…hmmm!
Here are a few pictures from our No More Jumping on the Bed session…

Indianapolis Family Photographer | Relationship
Posted on November 22, 2011
Nothing is more important to a 4 year old than being as close as he can get to his uncle and playing a game on his iPad. Nothing is more important to me than to watch this relationship between nephew and uncle grow.

Put three girls in a studio with music, clothes, lights and a camera and you are sure to have a great time! At least I did! These girls definitely know how to work it for the camera. Marlique’s mom, Shila wanted to do something special for her daughter and contacted me about doing a shoot with Marlique and her best friends. Ummmm, I would be thrilled! This was by far one of the BEST shoots I have had. We spent a Friday night, talking, laughing, playing, posing…. ALL HIGH SCHOOL STYLE!
Take a look at a few pics from the session!

Indianapolis Children Photographer | Operation Pre-School Surprise
Posted on November 19, 2011
I went back and forth on how I was going to tell our kids and Nicholas about Melvin’s return. My first thought was we would all go to the airport to see him. Coordinating Melvin’s arrival time with everyone’s schedule was turning into a nightmare, especially when the time and date for Melvin to return was constantly changing.
So, on to the next option. I would go to pick him up at the airport in Kentucky and we would surprise everyone the next day. I finally got the time and date of return and everything was going so well. Tre had an Actuarial dinner in Carmel the night Melvin was going to come home. I told Tre he had to spend the night at home instead of returning to school that night. I called Beth’s boss as well as talked to the principal at Lawrence Christian to let them know the plan. Everyone was so excited! It would be late when I got back home with Melvin, but still a good plan. Tre would see him that night and we would surprise Beth and Nicholas the next day at their schools! PERFECT!!
Or so I thought! All the details were straight in my head. I would go to work, leave early, head to Kentucky, finally see my honey, and make the trip back home to surprise Tre. I was so excited the morning of the November 15th… that’s all I wanted to talk was leaving early and going to get Melvin. That is until I got an email from Melvin stating it was snowing really hard in Afghanistan and his flight was delayed. Okay, so a minor set back. That was until I received another email that the flight was going to be a 3 hour delay so that the plane could get de-iced. Oh no! That meant he wasn’t going to leave Afghanistan on the 15th as planned.
So, I called everyone back to tell the of the delay! Later that night I got word from Melvin that he would be leaving on the 16th, same flight information. Okay… I can work with that. I went to Kentucky and finally I was able to hug, kiss, touch, kiss again my honey. I was beyond excited to see him!
The next morning we set out for Operation Surprises! Our first stop was to see Nicholas. The staff at Lawrence Christian were so helpful and were just as excited as we were. There were very helpful in setting the stage for the surprise. I walked in the room and Ms. Cozart said, Nicholas someone is here to see you. Just as Nicholas looked up, his Pawpaw walked in the room. Nicholas’ eyes were really big and he said, “PAWPAW”!!!
He ran to his Pawpaw….
Nicholas taking another look… just to make sure it really was his Pawpaw!

Nicholas holding on…not wanting his Pawpaw to leave him again!

Beth and Tre was so excited and we are all so blessed and thankful to have him home. Thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers!
