Kimi + Austin's Icicle Wonderland Engagement {Indianapolis, IN}

Austin popped the question during a snowboarding trip last winter. Fitting that we would shoot their engagement photos encircled by icicles. In a few short months I will be shooting more white on their wedding day!

Erin + Derek's Blustery Autumn Wedding {Cincinnati, OH}

As a teen, a group of five friends and I created a club of sorts we affectionately termed "OHFA." In essence there was a load of silliness. But beyond that, a core value was holding each other accountable to seek Christ and "wait for the one." After graduation we dispersed to the four corners. But, as with all forever friends, never-mind how many bad haircuts endured, bowls of cereal inhaled, children birthed, or life altering books studied, when you are together you are at home in their friendship. I certainly feel that way about Erin, her family, and the other three OHFA founding members. When Erin and Derek wed there was a sweet completeness to our "club" as the last OHFA member found her "one." I was honored to capture their very blustery autumn day! P.S. The weather was so windy that their original reception venue had to be abandoned and this barn reception was found, booked, and set up THE DAY OF. Chillest bride ever.

Irie Skye's Newborn Session {Indianapolis, IN}

I am smitten with this last photo of petite Irie and her devoted momma and daddy. In it we glimpse the newborn babe phase: 

raw

 explosive

 delicate

 humorous

loud

 and beset with love.

Gibbs Maternity Session {Indianapolis, IN}

Season is turning. There's a brightness in the trees. And for these three there's excitement in the air. A little soul soon to know and be known.

London

My parents just moved back to the U.S and are house hunting! So glad to have Nene and Poppi closer to grandbabies, but missing their old digs in the UK! Our trip there a year ago created a yearning for more. 

Reminiscing on some memories from our trip there a year ago....

We only had a couple days in the city so we hit a few of the "musts:"

The Tower of London with its blood soaked biscuit Raven connoisseurs 

Hampton Court with its great halls, rose gardens, and topiary maze

Borough Market for its meat pies and mushy peas

and of course Big Ben and Changing the Guard.
