August 2012

On 8/5, we made a quick trip down to Alabama to watch my sister graduate from Air Force Field Training at Maxwell AFB in Alabama! She spent 4 long weeks in Alabama & Mississippi this Summer in the extreme heat and managed to survive & make a ton of new friends along the way. 🙂 We managed to make it a fun little getaway for all of us of course & we stayed at the Renaissance in Montgomery (highly recommend ~ their staff is soooo nice!) and we ate at some great restaurants during our 3 day mini trip. Since it was John’s b-day week, we even surprised him with singing waitresses on the first night. 🙂 The hotel restaurant had this really cool color wall that would change colors every few seconds so we took some fun “couples” shots in front of that then the next morning we got up early and went to the parade on the base. We got to meet a lot of Mary’s new friends, take photos, see her sleeping quarters & even take her out for lunch! After we left the base, we found a cute little outdoor mall (think Clay Terrace) and got some shopping in before heading back to the hotel to pack up for the flight home the next day. Of course, we managed to find a pet store along the way and Leah found a new furbaby friend that she wanted to take home with us! LOL! Since we were traveling home on John’s b-day, we decided to delay all parties until this coming weekend so I’ll post those pics next week!! 😉

On 8/3 & 8/4, we spent two awesome days visiting with family members from all over the country! My Aunt Mary hosted a fun reunion at her home and there was lots of visiting, swimming, picture taking & celebrating that took place over those 2 days, it was a great time! 🙂 Thank you to all of you who made the trip to Indy this year!! XOXO

On 8/1, my sweet kitty Ben turned 12! Over the last few years, we’ve been doing a yearly photo shoot with the furbabies on each of their birthdays. They love getting gifts, treats & being the center of attention in their own private photo shoot! 😉 Ben is my little snuggle cat, he likes to be spooned at night and he literally sits next to my side of the bed every night, just waiting for me to finish working so we can have snuggle time. It’s my favorite time of day for sure! He’s absolutely adorable!! Love you Benny!! Happy Birthday!! 🙂

 

On 7/29 (after several weeks of editing June events!) we met up with Katie & Roy on the Purdue campus for their engagement shoot! 🙂 Katie & Roy both went to Purdue and met in front of McCutcheon Hall so it made sense to go back there for a few photos! We stopped by the fountain, Purdue campus signs, McCutcheon and the nearby playground to capture their love for one another and their love of Purdue. They are super cute together!!  I can’t wait to photograph them again next August at their wedding!

On 7/15, we photographed this adorable family in their back yard at their home in Fishers! It was HOT that day but I was prepared and brought bubbles, squeaky toys and lollipops with us to help keep the kiddos in good spirits & it definitely worked! 🙂 Even both of their doggies cooperated and joined the family photo! I’m guessing this first shot will be their Christmas card this year, don’t you think? 😉
