The Chapman Family

 Oh man, even at 8 in the morning, family portraits in Indians in July can be a dangerous move.  You just don't know what you're going to get, and as luck would have it, we got hot and humid.  At least it wasn't raining.  (The downpour literally started as we parted ways at the end of the session.)  This adorable family was full of troupers though, and we had fun shooting some family portraits down by the river and on the playground at Hummel Park.

Senior Portraits with Asya

I got to do Asya's senior portraits this last weekend and it was SO much fun.  Asya picked out a neat graffiti wall in Broad Ripple, Indiana.  The brick walls, chain-link fences, and colorful graffiti made for such a fun urban feel.  Then we rounded it out by going over to Broad Ripple park to take advantage of the beautiful trees still in bloom.

Happy Birthday, Arabella!

 I got to do a fun, 1st Birthday photography session for little miss Arabella this last weekend.  She was a doll.  We even had a smash cake for her which she delicately explored and enjoyed. Very lady-like.  It's called a SMASHCAKE, Bella!  She was quite content with her steady finger-full of frosting.   She was darling and her big sister was all giggles (and just as clean and delicate).  So much fun with these two little girls.

Sweet little Brandon

I love doing newborn photo shoots, especially when you get a subject like this little man.  I just love those big eyes and sweet smiles.   It makes being a photographer pretty fun.

Love and Marriage

My brother got married in Arizona this last weekend, and although I spent most of my time chasing around an over-tired one year old, I managed to take a few photos of the reception.  It was so wonderful to see family and reconnect with all my siblings.  Weddings are such a vivid reminder of how important marriage and family really is.  I felt truly blessed to be there.
