The Grise Family | Bloomington, Indiana Portrait Session

Last year I had the pleasure of photographing my good friends, the Grise Family! Jenny is one of my best friends and a fabulous wedding photographer herself. Adrian is hilarious and takes care of our four cats when they are sick. Kai is the coolest and smartest kid you will ever meet. And Aven is my tiny red-headed buddy who makes me smile every time I see her!

I know after scrolling down you will love them just as much as I do!

I love the concept of this session. Simple and beautiful. Just the family hanging out in their cozy bedroom, like they do every day.:)

Soooooo happy after nursing!

Check out the two right photos. Do you see where she gets her faces?;)

A.dor.a.ble.

Favorite photo. Hands down.

A few photos of the boys hanging out.

I love every single one of these photos. I hope you do too!

And now… my favorite series of photos I have ever taken.

BOOM!

Oh man, oh man! Thank you guys for letting me share in your love. You’re the best!

KISS Wedding Books | Fabulous New Album + Our Cat

We just got KISSed and you can too!!!

We are proud to feature our newest sample album from KISS wedding books. KISSes are BEAUTIFUL and come in two flavors: leather or linen covers. The Leather KISS is substantially heavier and more resistant to damage. The Linen KISS is lighter, with flexible pages, and makes for great sign-in albums. But no matter what KISS you choose you will NOT be disappointed. When I first opened the box, I’m not gonna lie, I drooled just a little bit. And you will too…

The pictures in this post are all from our newest Leather KISS which includes 40 pages (or 20 spreads).

Check out those colors! WOW!! The top right colors are shown in leather and the bottom right are linen.

As I was shooting (on our new bamboo floors I might add:D), one of our little friends decided he needed to see what I was up to.

The very best part of these books are their lay flat binding. There is virtually no seam down the middle.

The money shot! Trust me when I say you NEED to order one of these for your wedding, engagement, family session, etc. I did!!

I think it’s a hit. He just can’t stay away.

Your book ever arrives in a snazzy black & white cloth dust cover for added protection.

Can you believe how thick and sturdy these pages are? Your album will be around for your kids’ kids to enjoy!

OK, I got a little out of control with this shoot. But can you blame me? These books are truly stunning!

So what are waiting for? Contact us soon and get your KISS! We will design the perfect album for you and your family.:)

And now some outtakes from today’s shoot. We have four cats, but this guy was the only one who wouldn’t leave my side. He obviously needed a KISS.;)

Alice Rose | 3 Month Portrait Session

Warning: You are going to need to prepare yourself for the cute in today’s blog entry. Alice Rose is the daughter of two of our favorite clients, Kat and Todd. We photographed there engagement session and wedding as well and are now documenting Alice’s first year!:)

When I first arrived, Alice was nursing and the window just happened to be lighting them PERFECTLY!

Meanwhile, this was happening behind me. I melt!

I headed over to take a look at the nursery. It is seriously stunning with the most perfect little details.

We started the official session off with bath time!

Alice LOVES her bath!

I tried to warn you. Can you even believe how adorable she is?!?!

SQUEE! I was smiling behind my camera the whole time. How could I not?

Getting all dry and cozy.

At this point she was not pleased to be on the ground, but I think this one was worth it!

Daddy cheering her up and then a quick family portrait.:D

This family is amazing.

Different perspectives, lol.

She got just a bit emotional so it was time for the squishy face pics!

The full family! Make sure you check out the dogs closely. Hilarious!

Break time.

That picture on the bottom left = best candid photo ever.

Favorite! She’s already a model! And man, her eyes are gorgeous!!

By the way, love the pillow. I told you they thought of every single detail in here!

Bye bye for now little Alice! See you in a couple months!!!

Cassandra + Carter | Bloomington, Indiana Wedding

Last wedding of 2012! WOO-HOO!!! And what a wedding it was!

We started the day off at Boomerang Hair.

Not gonna lie. This might be one of my favorite getting ready photos EVER.

Cassandra checking out her fabulous finished hair (Look out that flower!) and putting on a few finishing touches.

Double the bling!:D

Showcasing these incredible flowers with some salon scenery.

Eek! Almost props I found up on a shelf. Gotta love Gumby and Pokey.

Like father, like son.

Cassandra’s father bringing her a very special necklace to wear.

We absolutely love intimate weddings in the beautiful Beck Chapel on campus.

See that first picture? Carter and Cassandra walked down the aisle after the ceremony and gave each other the best hug in the world.

It was a little chilly outside but these two are h.o.t. HOT!

And now for something a little different…

The Irish Lion = one AWESOME and unique reception venue.

Mmmmmmmmmmm… cake!

We waited a bit for the sun to set and then took a walk.

The Christmas lights downtown Bloomington are simply lovely.

Alex view bottom left. My view right.:)

Oh Em Gee. Do you see that cutie patootie’s face and hair?!!?

Cool story: There was a HUGE IU basketball game the night of their wedding. And THEY WON! In the last second. The crowd went wild!

Cassandra and Carter, thank you thank you for being such a laid back fun couple! It was the absolute perfect topper to our wedding season!
