On 7/2, we photographed Michelle & Ryan’s rehearsal dinner at the Omni Severin in downtown Indy!

They are SUCH a cute couple together!! Michelle & I share the same love for the color pink as you can see! 😉

They had this fabulous stir fry station where chefs would prepare your choice of pastas and meats on site, it was awesome!

Michelle, you are so adorable!! 🙂 Love your smile & laugh!

After dinner and gifts, we found their chocolate fountain station!

YUM!

The marshmallows and strawberries were picture perfect so I immediately thought “ring shot!” 🙂

Ryan did good on that ring, didn’t he?! WOW, talk about some gorgeous bling!! 🙂

We had so much fun shooting their rehearsal and getting to know everyone the night before the wedding!! Hopefully more couples will add rehearsal dinner photo coverage to their plans after seeing these fun photos! 🙂 YAY! More pics coming soon!!

My 30th b-day is coming up soon (gulp!) and I’ve decided to make it the best birthday EVER!! For my 30th, John and I will be heading out from early in the morning until late at night in a quest to perform 30 random acts of kindness…one for each year I’ve lived, and I’m hoping that each of you will also perform at least one random act of kindness in honor of my 30th birthday on September 9th! 🙂 I’ll be posting updates on my facebook page throughout the entire day, maybe even tweeting (yeah, you know I’m not much of a “tweeter” lol) and then blogging about the entire experience afterwards. Go friend me on facebook now if you haven’t already and make sure to check out the blog after 9/9 to see how the day went. I already have LOTS of ideas planned out with some surprises along the way! I can’t wait!!

We recently photographed Kellen (and his parents) for his 1st birthday portraits, he’s such a cutie with those big blue eyes!!! 🙂 Look at those adorable feet too!

Baby parts!! Love it…

We’ve photographed Kellen’s mom & dad’s engagement, bridal portraits, wedding, reception, and some other stuff so it was GREAT to see Cori & Lance again!!! 🙂 We had this shoot scheduled during one of those 100+ degree weeks so we moved the shoot indoors to the Central Library downtown and it truly makes the PERFECT indoor back-up plan…great architecture, lots of cool places to shoot plus some neat outdoor options too! (They rent it out for weddings too by the way!!! We LOVE it there!) 😉

You two are soooo adorable! 🙂 Kellen is lucky to have parents like you guys!!

Kellen’s favorite part of the photo shoot was having the chance to play in the kids section!

They have a green screen area that turned into a neat studio backdrop for us!

LOVE this…even when he’s serious, he’s adorable!

Mommy played “fly baby” with him and that got him laughing! 🙂

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!

Then we went outside for a few minutes at the end and got a few more smiles out of him!

Thanks for another fun photo shoot you guys! 🙂

I know I don’t post as many personal pics on here as I used to since most of you see them all on facebook but I thought I’d post a few faves from my kitty’s b-day and my hubby’s b-day for those of you who may not have already seen these. (And if you haven’t seen these, go friend us on facebook!) 😉 Anyway, this month, my kitty Ben turned 10!! He’s so precious…he got a brand new toy with catnip included and a new brush that he loves! Is this not the cutest face?! 🙂

Happy cat!!!

His brother, Mr. Wiggles, had his eye on the new toy! LOL

Then a few days later, my family came over to celebrate John’s b-day! We went out for lunch and then out for ice cream…

When we got back home, Buddy got to enjoy some Frosty Paws ice cream as part of the celebration! 🙂

And mom brought over her dog Mandy…she & Buddy met for the first time! It was soooo cute!

“Hide me!”

“Mom, did you see the size of that dog!? OMG!” LOL 🙂

We love our furbabies, that’s for sure!!!! Their expressions say so much in photos, love it! 🙂

I’m blogging a little out of order here but I wanted to post a few personal pics from our family vacation a few weeks ago. 🙂 Dad rented a beach house up in Michigan, right across from Chicago, and we all went up there for a few days and had fun hanging out together. He’s looking quite relaxed in this photo (above), don’t you think!? 🙂 Leah & John were comparing photos/videos while I took sunset pics on the back deck…

The sunsets were amazing! It seemed like they looked a little different every night…

The reflection on the water…so peaceful…

My sister Mary, just chillin’ with a good book 🙂

We had lots of fun family dinners together 🙂

Yum! I love shooting food that is *almost* too pretty to eat! LOL

My sister Leah is into horses so this seemed appropriate! 🙂

Thanks for a fun trip you guys, we love you!!
