katie and travis wedding.

Monday, March 31, 2008

Yesterday was a bit chilly and really windy but the sun was out and that was all that mattered for Katie and Travis's wedding. The day was filled with friends and family for up b/c Katie is Stick's cousin. It is such an honor when a family member asks us to shoot their day and of course it adds a bit of extra pressure=) Katie and Travis made it so easy though. The day was stress free and they were up for anything! It truly was a beautiful wedding. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of it guys!!! Hope you are having a good time on your Honeymoon!

Katie looked beautiful in her Pronovias gown.



The gorgeous ladies!!!



These kids were so fun!


Some creative portraits after the ceremony.






Sharing their first dance.

kara and destiny

Sunday, March 30, 2008

It is such an awesome experience to shoot relationships like mother and daughter! Even more awesome when they are as hot as these two=) Kara is also a super cool mom b/c she had her make-up done as well as Destiny's (courtesy of Jordanne). Of course once again the weather left much to be desired but we worked through. I could not help but laugh when we all pulled out of the driveway to start our shoot and it started hailing!!! Too funny! We managed to find cover and had an fantastic shoot!!! Thanks so much you guys!!!




osp indy=)

Earlier this week Sticky and I had the pleasure of attending OSP Indy. This is actually the third OSP Indy but the first time that we wre able to make. The Reynolds had a big hand in making it all happen. They did a wonderful job and we all had such a good time!!! Here are a few images from shenanigans:

easter and haircuts in van wert for the nudds...

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

Sticky and I had the pleasure of hosting the Nudds this past weekend! There was loads of chips and salsa consumed and we even ended up having Mexican food for Easter dinner! It was GREAT!

I think the highlight of the trip would be the haircuts. Garrett received his first cut from Sticky the barber and Joy took a trip with me to visit Jordanne:




One of the whole gang (this was on timer and once again graycen has impressed us with her model ready skills):



We are all enjoying OSP Indy right now. Many more pics to follow....

stacy and aj e-session

What a blast we had shooting Stacy and AJ's e-session! It was a bit cold but these two did not seem to mind one bit. They also brought their dog along which is always so much fun! Unfortunately we are already booked for their wedding but so honored that they went ahead and had an e-session with us!! Thanks so much guys!






the jones family

Tuesday, March 18, 2008

We had such a wonderful time shooting the Jones family! This was a little over a week ago on a snowy Saturday morning. The kids, Jackson and Debbie, were their usual adorable selves. And this time we got to include their parents which was so great! This family is so easy to shoot!!! They are very laid back and all about having a good time. Enjoy=)

They have an awesome sun-room that they love to hangout in as a family.






A little dancing on the table!

lil' fin

Thursday, March 6, 2008

Winter is non-stop around here, it is kind of annoying. We rescheduled Finley once already due to very cold temps but this time his mom and us agreed that it was not going to get much better so we went for it. Upon arrival Fin had just woken up from a nap but it didn't take long for him to realize what was going on. I am so glad Stick came along for this one b/c Fin really liked him, as most kids do=) It was a tad cold and spitting rain but this little guy did so great!!! And check out his wardrobe, so lucky to have such a stylish mom!!







more from italy....

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

I must apologize for the lack of posts. We have been working nonstop since our return from Italy but like promised we will share a few images with you.

Upon arrival in Lake Como we were not only surprised with the best room in the hotel but a wonderful bottle of wine and the most delicious strawberries!!!



Lake Como is full of all these wonderful little towns. This one is Menagio which from what I hear is where George Clooney calls his Italian home.


The view from our balcony on the morning we left Lake Como. It was hard to leave b/c we absolutely loved it there!!!


After a very restless train ride to Florence we needed some wine. And of course we were in Italy so it was not hard to find=)


A little Florentine tiramisu.


Just walking around Florence is like visiting an exclusive museum of art. From the stylish locals to the amazing historic architecture - it truly is amazing.



The vintage version of my car - I just love this little guy!!!


Stick looks good in Florence!


It was so great to see the city at night. Very lively and classy.



This is where we had our wine tasting on our anniversary. It was unbelievable!!! Something that we definitely want to do again!


A little shoe shopping for Stick...


This was the only spot on our floor where I could pick up the wi-fi. I am pretty sure I was frowned upon by some other guests, lol!!!


It was then off to Venice (the train ride for this was a 100% better) where after a long journey of trying to find our hotel we were once again greeted with champagne. It certainly is nice to be on your Honeymoon=)


We cannot say enough about Venice. We have so many images from here b/c it is just the kind of place where you cannot stop taking pictures. Our only regret is that we did not get to stay in this city longer.


As you can see it was foggy which gave it a great mood. Everything seemed so quiet and surreal.




It is very easy to get lost in Venice. Our best plan was a map and of course more wine=)





And lastly a view from our gondola. I wish I could tell you how romantic it was but unfortunately it did not quite go that way. Let's just say that Stick is still healing from my fingernails being dug into is legs. I was so sure we were going into the canal!!! But we did not thank goodness=)


We have loads more images to bore all of you with so I will spare you. It truly was such a wonderful place to celebrate our Honeymoon/1st year of marriage. We are both just so relieved that we decided to make the decision to take the time out to do this. We also feel very lucky to have stumbled across Kayla from Destination Europe. She listened to what we wanted for our Honeymoon and made the trip as prefect and special as possible. We know that we could not have done that on our own. Of course now that we have had our first taste of Europe we are ready to go back, hopefully sooner than later=)

We would also like to thank everyone for their kind emails. We have the best family and friends anyone could ask for and to open the computer and read all these emails wishing us a terrific Honeymoon was just so touching. Not to mention the clients who sent us messages of congratulations as well. We truly are very lucky to have all of you in our lives.

Ok, since everyone keeps asking here is one of the 2 of us. Be kind, it is from a point and shoot=)
