Amber & Kaleb's "save-the-dates"

I thought I might share here Amber and Kaleb's save-the-dates for their upcoming summer wedding... These were ordered as large magnets, a convenient reminder piece for their friends and family!

Kami's Nashville Headshots

Early in October, as I drove down to Memphis for Jessica and John David's wedding, I stopped in Nashville for a fun little photo shoot with college roommate, Kami. Kami is a free-lance writer, occasional nomad, coffee officianado, thinker, and good friend. She suggested a couple of great places to capture some headshots and brought some props that reflected her lifestyle and interests! These images have been sitting on my computer way too long not to share! Enjoy!

The "L" Family

Yes -- I am out of the country, but have some 'down' time to share these pics that have been sitting on my computer for a while. Earlier this month I had the pleasure of meeting this little family who lives not too far from me. We met together for a late-afternoon session to make some photographs for the holidays. I love photos like the last one because time is so fleeting and before you know it, these young ones will be up to momma's shoulder, then her chin, then looking down on her from above! Never again will they be this size, this age. Thanks, Jennie, for letting me capture this moment for you!

Shane and Jodi's Wedding Album

The next wedding I'm going to share took place in May up in Marion, Indiana. You can read my blog post here about how I was with these two in Hungary in the summer of 2007 when they first met! Pretty cool, eh?

Justin and Jennifer's Wedding Album

The end of the year is approaching. We are down to six (yes, 6) weeks until Christmas! I am spending many evenings working late into the night retouching images so they might be ordered and transformed from computer coding of zeroes and ones into beautiful, tangible pieces of art for years of enjoyment on a coffee table or on a wall. As an early 'year in review', I thought I might share with you some pieces of work from this year's weddings. Tonight I'm highlighting Justin and Jennifer's spring wedding at St. Peter's Catholic Church and the Signature Club. It was a gorgeous spring day -- the weather couldn't have been better!

The "C" Kids

Aren't these children just the sweetest? I grew up in a family of all girls and often wondered how different life would have been had we had a brother. Watching these two interact brought back some of those thoughts. In between snapping some of those obligatory posed photos, I knew these two had relaxed when they picked up sticks -- er, um, swords -- and started shouting, "En Garde!" I don't recall Musketeers being one of those games that my sisters and I played, but it looked like fun!

Thanks, C Family! It was a joy!

Amber's Engagement Session Collage

After taking someone's photograph, I don't often have the privilege of seeing what they do with their finished prints or wall art (aside from those used in albums)! You can imagine my excitement when Amber described the famed wall collage she made with her engagement photos. I asked her to take a snapshot of itbecause I REALLY wanted to see how it turned out.

She was so sweet to oblige and then gave me permission to share here on the blog with you all! I love the combination of color and black and white photographs. I think it really lets your eye move around the collage, yet enjoy each image independently.

If I've taken your photographs and you have a cool wall display you want to share -- snap a photo of it and e-mail it to me! You'll make my day!

Here's a link back to my favorites from Amber and Kaleb's engagement session at an amazing Woodford County horse farm...
