August 2008

Photo shoot #3 on Sunday was at the Indianapolis Sailing Club! We met up with Katy & Clay (who are huge blog stalkers of ours) 🙂 to shoot their engagement session with their adorable dog Toby! Toby is quite famous, he now has his own FaceBook page and you can friend request him HERE. 😉 (not kidding) LOL Toby’s mom and dad are getting married out of state next year and are going for a nautical themed wedding since they LOVE the water…and since Indiana is a bit land locked, they thought Geist was the perfect option for a photo shoot! 🙂 When we arrived, Katy surprised each of us with a box of chocolate chip oatmeal cookies too….she is soooo sweet!!

In love…. 🙂

Love this one with her flip flops in the foreground…

Katy is so adorable, she has a million different expressions, I loved it! Check out this sequence…

LOVE THIS!!!

Who knows WHAT he said to evoke this reaction!??! LOL

Check out their save-the-date shots!

OK, this has to be the funniest sequence of photos EVER…they were all taken within about a nanosecond of one another…Toby was sooo hot and he just looked miserable. Katy was trying to coax him in the water to get wet and cool off. So here I am, focusing on the dog (who loves to drink fresh water but doesn’t like getting in lakes supposedly) ….and Katy has his leash and he does NOT want to get in…

Then a split second later, I hear “aghhhh!” and the leash goes flying…notice no one is on the other end of the leash! LOL

And Katy fell in the reservoir! LOL So yeah, it quickly turned into a trash the dress session! 🙂 I love how Toby is just staring at her and it looks like he actually wants to come to her rescue at first!

Or maybe not…LOL

Her face was priceless! Then Toby decided maybe this whole water thing wasn’t so bad…especially since mom jumped in!

WET DOG!! 🙂

SO CUTE!!!

LOL!! Loved his face…so funny!

So then Clay decides to join them…and Toby swims right through his legs…

I think this should be your Christmas card photo you guys! No one else would have anything like it! LOL

So things begin to get even funnier…Clay tried to help her back to the shoreline and instead, they both fell in again. The slope was filled with slimy algae that was really slippery…

Did I mention she had her hair & make-up professionally done before this shoot?? Oops! LOL 🙂

Toby is LOVING it at this point!

So Katy starts splashing water on him…

I love Toby’s face, he’s like “what?!” LOL

We finally got all 3 of them out of the water so I sent John to get our emergency kit…he found our extra towels, hair dryer and women’s underwear…yes, we have almost anything you can imagine with us…just in case! 😉

Katy told me last week that Toby LOVES the hair dryer, so this was pretty fitting for the occasion. Doesn’t he look like he’s smiling here?! 🙂

Once they changed clothes, we continued the rest of their shoot ….on dry land this time… 😉

FAVORITE!!

LOVE this one too, doesn’t it look like a magazine ad with her hair flying in the wind?!

Toby’s turn…. 🙂

Thanks for such an awesome time you guys!! I think we started a new “trash the dress” trend…anyone else want to do this?!?! 🙂

Photo shoot #2 on Sunday was for Steve…he owns Wordsmith Ink, and he helps businesses and individuals with everything from newsletters, to speeches to media kits. He contacted us for a “quick and painless” photo shoot for some promotional head shots and photos of him with his guitar. (Music is another passion of his) Anyway, his adorable kitty showed up outside and wanted some photos taken too….I think I’m an animal whisperer or something…they seem to follow me. 🙂 LOL He meowed and sat still long enough for me to capture his pretty green eyes, then he allowed me to photograph his human, Steve for the promo shots he needed. 🙂

Thanks for a fun time Steve! 🙂

As some of you know, I’m on the Holiday Mart Committee for Junior League this year and the Junior League’s “Mistletoe Madness” booth is looking for companies who have large shopping bags that they’d like to donate for the event! Mistletoe Madness is a large booth within the Holiday Mart that is filled with 25-30 various vendors offering Christmas related items. The Junior League makes a profit off of those items that are sold to the public and they use the profits to help support our various charitable projects throughout the year. If you or your company have large shopping bags that you’d like to donate for our upcoming Holiday Mart event, please email me at [email protected], thanks!! 🙂

Last weekend was so awesome! John & I looked at our calendar a few months back and realized that we had this past Saturday off so we booked 3 days and 2 nights at the Westin downtown. Even though we still brought our laptops and worked a bit (hey, it’s still busy wedding season!! LOL) it was nice to re-charge our batteries a bit and have fun watching in room romantic comedies and ordering overpriced room service. LOL! BTW, “Made of Honor” with Patrick Dempsey was a great movie…highly recommend it! 😉 The weather for Sunday was looking iffy all week but we managed to dodge the rain and get 3 back to back shoots in. After we checked out Sunday morning, we met Ashley & Ryan downtown at the canal for their engagement session and they were soooo much fun and so easy to photograph! I love it when our couples have FUN with their shoots and interact with each other as if we’re not even there! 🙂 They were total pros at that!!

LOL!!!

Oops!! lol…oh well, made for great shots anyway!

Love it…

The sky was SO blue that morning, it was gorgeous! The only problem was that it was HOT and HUMID!! I was sweating from my eyelids ALL DAY…not kidding…LOL….thanks for braving the heat with us you guys! 😉

Such an adorable couple!!!

FAVORITE!! 🙂

Ryan loved the fisheye version of this shot so I posted this one for him…. 🙂

Thanks for a great time you guys! Can’t wait for your wedding!! 🙂

This years A-List competition was fierce, we were competing against 113 other photographers but I’m SO excited to announce that we made the Top 5 for the 2nd year in a row!!! Thank you to ALL of you who voted for us, it really does mean the world to us to know that all of our hard work, creativity and behind the scenes effort pays off and is appreciated. 🙂

Check out all of the new reviews we received on our listing this year too! WOW!!

Erin and her group are great! They are always willing to go that extra mile. In fact, they have offered to help with event planning, that is beyond taking photographs of the event! I would highly recommend Erin Hession Photography!!!!!

Awesome photography team, they have taken awesome family and individual portrait shots of our children. Erin is patient, has an awesome eye on how to capture the scenery around you and knows how to capture the innocence of the child and to draw it out of the kids for precious unforgettable pictures. T.B.H.

Erin and her photography team are truly the best photography team in Indiana. When my sister got married five years ago, she and her staff traveled abroad just to be part of the special event in our lives. Since then she has continuously been in touch with us throughout the five years. She is truly one special photographer and an individual beyond one-person can attempt to describe. Her work speaks for itself.

I can’t put into words how wonderful my wedding was because of Erin and her staff! Erin is such a great listener and gives the best suggestions on how to make your wedding everything it can possibly be. I am sure by the time the wedding came, everyone felt like Erin was a long lost friend, because I talked about her all the time. Because of Erin, I also got great references for my cake, my flowers, makeup, even my Day of Wedding Coordinator. I loved every minute of working with Erin and her staff!

Erin and her staff are the nicest most professional staff you could ever work with!! They are great with the children and are there for YOUR EVERY NEED. She has done my wedding, my anniversary, my kids, my service dog and much more. She is not only an awesome awesome photographer she is a nice sincere person!! As they would say in the south “she is good people”. Very shortly after my wedding my grandmother was dying and she got a photo of me and my grandma done early so I could give it to her before she died. That is just the person Erin is. Full of talent and heart and you just can’t find that out there these days. She could charge three times the amount and still be worth EVERY PENNY!! I would not have anyone else do my photography. She captures the story of the day not just the line up and that was important to me. She was also willing to listen to ideas I had as well of what I wanted from my wedding and what was sentimental to me. I just can’t say enough about Erin except she is doing more photos for me this week!! I just keep going back!!! She always takes her time and is never in a hurry she makes sure everything is perfect!! Way to go Erin!!!

She is the most creative photographer! Her work is amazing and timeless and captures every moment you dream of and then some you never imagined! She is wonderful to work with in any situation, I have used her to photograph my wedding, reception, trash the dress, maternity, family and newborn sessions and her work stands out every time!

Erin is the best. I worked with her as an event coordinator for a wedding in November and it was such a joy to work with another vendor that had as much passion for pleasing the bride and groom as I did! Her work is spectacular and she is willing to work in the craziest of conditions to make your day look beautiful!
