Hope you had a good Memorial Day weekend! We enjoyed ourselves around here. On Sunday, Mark went to the Indy 500 with the guys and I took a girl trip to Greenwood for some shopping with the girls. On Monday, we went to the annual Memorial Day picnic at Mark’s parents’ house. It was a fun and relaxing weekend - no work and all play.
I do have some pictures to show off from last weekend, though!
First up, last Saturday, was a crazy portrait session with three grandmas and ten kids, eight of whom were under the age of four. I’ve photographed about half of these kids before, four when they were newborns! We had quite a time getting everyone to sit still and never could get all of them to look at the camera at once, but we did get them all in one picture 
On Sunday, I met with Kim and Curt to photograph their engagement session. We had a gorgeous, cool afternoon for photos at Shadyside Park in Anderson. Kim and Curt are getting married in September and are using fall colors as their theme, so I made sure to get several images that would coordinate well for display at their wedding too.
And finally, I’ve got pictures of our older daughter, three year old Emily. We have these fields of amazing yellow weeds growing near our house. I wanted to do this with her last year, but didn’t get it done before the fields were planted. This year I found the perfect dress at a garage sale and dragged Emily out one evening last week. Of course we were swarmed by bugs and she was in a very stubborn mood where she didn’t want to look at me, just flail her arms and beat at the flowers… But I don’t think that every picture has to have a smile. I like that I’ve got who she really is here, small and sweet and stubborn.

Last weekend I photographed the wedding of Krista and Will at Righteous Oaks in Wilkinson, Indiana. What a great facility, a repurposed church… It’s a terrific place for a reception, or hold the entire wedding there, as Krista and Will did. And my favorite: they had an ice cream sundae bar!! Here are a few shots from their special day, and here’s the link to all of their pictures. Enjoy!
I had a very fun engagement session yesterday with my friend Julia, and her fiance Dave. Dave and Julia got engaged early last year, but I wasn’t able to photograph them last fall since I was due with Abby and it’s a 2.5 hour drive for each of us just to meet in the middle. So we settled for this spring, and we had wonderful, gorgeous weather yesterday after a week of rain. The three of us spent the entire day in a little town called Plymouth. I haven’t spent any time yet looking through their photos, but I did want to share this one of two props that Julia brought:
Update: Dave and Julia’s engagement photos are online, and here’s a handy link if you’d like to check them out!
