Mini-Sessions: Sneak Peek (Session 1)

For years I have seen photographers do mini-sessions in time for Christmas cards, and while I have always wanted to do them, I never put the date on the calendar soon enough to make it happen...and as I recently read somewhere,"October is to photographers, what April is to accountants" I knew I needed to make it happen this year.   I love the fall and I love taking pictures in the fall! The beautiful warm colors and awww...the GOLDEN HOUR!!!  Par for the course this October was no less crazy and busy and full of fantastic weddings and photoshoots.

That being said, this year I finally got in the game in time to do mini-sessions and did my first set a few weeks ago and have my next set this Sunday. (Weather is still  looking good despite the cold we had today!)

I have always wanted to put a piece of furniture where it doesn't belong...love that juxtaposition.  I was super excited about being able to rent a piece of vintage furniture from Violet Vintage, here in Indianapolis. The color of the chair, the golden light and everyone's outfits worked perfectly together!!

I am so excited to share a few of these with you! I loved working with all the families! (Your links to your galleries are coming soon!)

Fishers and Cleveland Portrait Photography: Spring Sneak Peeks

I have had a ton of shoots in the last few weeks and therefore have spent several hours in front of my computer editing these adorable faces, smilles, giggles and baby preciousness! So as my clients wait for their viewing session meetings, I wanted to share a few of the images now, because if they are anything like me they are dying to see them!

You see, we just had our family pictures done last week. It is always good to be on the other side of the camera every once in awhile as well as on the other side of the waiting! I now know how my clients feel about having to wait to see their images. My friend and photographer who took pictures for us said she would have the images ready in about a week...but of course I stalked her Facebook page daily until she posted some sneak peeks! I was soo excited to see them and now I am so excited to see the rest!

So, the overall experience has taught me a few things of being a good subject in front of the camera as well as being an excited, but maybe slightly impatient customer waiting to see my images! It reminds me that my customers might be a lot like me and it encourages me to post sneak peeks and get editing done ASAP!

So, to my fabulous clients and their family and friends....ENJOY!

Carmel Portrait Photographyer: Koch Family

I love taking pictures of this family because it gives me a taste of  my future life with my two boys!  Lots of fun, some dirt and mud and an abundance of love!  I did the Koch Family portraits last year as well, and it was fun to see how much the boys have grown.  Despite the CRAZY heat we had that day, the family were a bunch of troopers!  Especially Mom and Dad as the boys decided to play in the water to cool off!!!  It made for some great pictures!

I also thought it would be fun to treat the boys to some balloons at the end of our session...again, got some really fun shots!
