Oh what a perfect day we had for David’s senior session!  It was so wonderful to see him and his family again…and to meet his sweetheart of a girlfriend, Allie!  We ventured to a beautifully landscaped area, visited the very baseball field where David played baseball growing up, and wrapped up the day at his high school where he runs cross country.  Although the day started out a bit on the cloudy side, the sun peeked out at the best times throughout the session, making for one happy photographer and for warm and glowing images!  I have so many favorites from the day!  Let’s get right to them!

Happy Friday!  Fall is one of my favorite seasons, tied with Spring!  And speaking of favorites, senior sessions are one of mine too!  I love when I get to work such inspiring and down-to-earth people, and this handsome guy has such a bright and wonderful future ahead of him!  Meet Christian, Class of 2016!  I had the honor of documenting this exciting milestone, and we had such a fun time on a beautiful early fall afternoon!  A few days before our session, Christian had officially signed on as a future baseball star for Taylor University!  His family is incredibly proud of him!  Aside from being an athlete, he loves spending time with family, helping on his Grandfather’s farm (as you’ll see below), and has a very generous heart and a passion for helping others.  His family is currently on a mission trip, just one of several that they’ve experienced together over the years.  I always count my blessings, especially when it comes to all of the amazing clients I have the honor of meeting and photographing!  As a mother to a son (and soon to my second son!), it was interesting and very special to photograph this session.  For one thing, Christian possesses so many wonderful qualities, all that would make a parent so very proud.  And just imagining Remington as a senior one day…I still cannot quite believe that he’s a 3-year-old!  All of this makes me love what I do that much more.  One amazing client, Christian.  His amazing story, one filled with family, compassion, and talent.  And the amazing future that awaits him!  Please enjoy some of my many favorites from the day!

A few years ago, I had the honor of photographing a delightful senior, Hannah, and this past fall, I was just as honored to photograph her lovely sister, Grace!  I just adore these two!  They both have gorgeous eyes, bright smiles, and hearts of gold!  And I could have photographed them both for days!  We had so much fun exploring downtown Indianapolis with some vibrant fall color still left on the trees.  I know I sound like a broken record every time I blog about my senior sessions, but it is just so true, I love my job, and I love working with people, just like Grace (and Hannah!), that have passion, excitement, and hope for their future!  It is inspiring, refreshing, rewarding, and I couldn’t ask for more! Grace, you are beyond beautiful, inside and out.  Your constant smiles, laughter, and sweet demeanor are a breath of fresh air.  Your family must be so very proud of you, and after hanging out with your adorably sweet Mom for these sessions, it’s so easy to see why you are so wonderful!  I wish you all the best as you finish your senior year and look forward to the next adventure that awaits you!  Enjoy some of my many, many favorites from your session!  It was so difficult to choose just a few!

She stepped out of the car with a mint tulle skirt, and I knew we were in for a fun senior session!  Jessica is a beauty, inside and out, and she has such a wonderful heart and the most gorgeous big brown eyes!  She has a love for music, painting, reading, travel, …and comic books.  When her father contacted me about her session, he told me that she is a planner and that she had a vision of what she was hoping for when it came to her senior portraits.  He also mentioned that she wanted photos taken in her favorite comic book store, and had already sought permission!  Love that!  I love it when clients get truly invested in their sessions!  During this session, Jessica and I both admitted that it would be fun to be a ballerina…although neither of us knew much of anything about it!  What I do know is that we had such a fun time dancing and twirling through the gardens!  Jessica, thank you so much for embracing your session the way that you did and for incorporating what you love to make it oh so you!  And now for a few of my favorites! A big thank you to Julia of Julia Wadsworth Makeup Artistry for making Jessica look extra gorgeous on her special day!

Right now, there is snow and ice on the ground as I look out my office window…however, we had a sunny, beautiful fall afternoon for my handsome nephew Logan’s senior session!  We made a family adventure out of it – we packed up Remington and his backpack and met up with Logan, his adorable and sweet girlfriend, Adessa, and Logan’s Dad (my brother-in-law…Hi Mike!), and Mike’s beautiful fiancee Kathy, and walked around downtown Crawfordsville.  Logan, you have grown into such a fine young man!  I can hardly believe that you will be graduating from high school soon!  Where has the time gone?!  Logan loves baseball, fishing, and hanging out with friends.  He also loves driving and working on his VW, which was featured in a few photos too!  Friends and family can view his entire online gallery here.  And now for some favorites from our afternoon!
