Grace & Blair Best Friend Session in Downtown Muncie
One of my favorite downtown sessions to date!
Grace & Blair rocked their BFF session in Downtown Muncie and we had a blast doing it. We laughed so hard, played in the street, and I ended up with way too many photos to pick a favorite!

Rhys: 4 Month Studio Photos
Rhys turned 4 months old!
To be honest, I don't photograph a lot of babies between the age of newborn and 6 months old. BUT this session with Rhys, made me want to photograph all of the 4 month olds! His mom and dad brought the CUTEST little bonnets and stockings to his session, I ordered this gorgeous Moses basket, and he was the most perfect little model.

Ariel & Matthew's Wedding Day at Meg's Country Celebrations with Kyla Jo Photography
Ariel & Matthew Brown's wedding was held at Meg's Country Celebrations last Sunday and the rain did not stop us from capturing gorgeous photos of their special day. They decided to move their ceremony inside the barn, but as soon as it was over the rain cleared up for beautiful photos. The two wore their Vans on their feet and a smile on their face the entire day. They kissed a million times and it made me smile each time, seeing their love for one another so apparent! So many special dances were held in that barn during their reception and Baby Shark was even played for all of the little ones! Congratulations to Ariel and Matthew on your wedding, and thank you for having me capture it!

Danielle & Mason - Engagement
Danielle & Mason are the sweetest couple, they drove about an hour for me to capture their engagement photos, and were so adventurous during their session (which I appreciate so much!) I love being able to capture my wedding couple's engagement photos as well, that gives us some time to get to know one another and get to know each other's personalities. After our session, they told me how happy they were that they had found me (which makes me so happy to hear).
I always try and make our sessions fun with cuddles and giggles. I will give my couples different scenarios to act out, which usually results in the best natural laughs EVER! This couple did every impression and scenario the best I have ever seen, they had me giggling behind my camera even and saying aww! You can really see their love for one another in all the smiles and sweet moments that I captured.
Here is just a sneak peek at your many photos! I am so excited to capture your wedding next year, YAY!

Leah & Devin Wedding Reception
Get you a man that looks at you like Devin looks at Leah! I loved being able to capture Leah & Devin’s second wedding reception. It poured rain on my drive there and snowed about 2 inches on my way home. Somewhere in between Indiana’s dramatic weather, we got about 40 minutes to capture family, bridal, and couple portraits outside! The Cope Environmental Center was such a modern and unique venue, I loved the modern architecture and the natural light pouring in from outside. These two are so sweet and laid back, and have so much love for one another. Here is a large sneak peek of their family portraits, couple portraits, and a few details from their wedding reception.

Engagment Photos With Kendra and Noah
IT IS WARMING UP OUTSIDE, AND I LOVE IT! That means more outdoor photo sessions, more cuddles and adorable photos. I had the opportunity to work with Kendra and Noah at Whitetail Tree Farm a couple weeks ago, and they were so in love and giggly. They were both so sweet and photogenic, they were cuddling even when I was not posing them. You can see how much they love each other in every photo I took and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Enjoy some of my favorites from Kendra and Noah’s engagement shoot and leave them some love!

UPGRADE to the Studio! YAY!
I am so excited to show you this past weekend’s project! I say “weekend project” but I spent about a week painting all of the wood, it felt like it was never ending. We spent about 7 hours in the studio on Saturday and about 8 on Sunday finishing up the shelving and organizing all of my props. This turned out 10x better than I ever expected, I could not stop smiling! If you have been in my studio previously, you are not gonna believe the difference it made, it is so much more spacious and open, and now all of my clients can see the props available during sessions.

If you are interested in what all we bought to make it and about how much it cost for you DIYers, scroll down to see more info!
If you are building a studio and want to see what to expect and what all we used to build this, here is all the info. All supplies were bought at Lowe’s.
Materials:
3 - sheets of 3/4 inch oak plywood Cabinet grade
200+ - Nails
20+ - Screws
Lowes Paint (Look in the mis-tint section to save $)
The wall that the shelf was built into had metal studs, so the screws you use may not need to be the same as what we used. The total cost was about $340, depending on the type of paint you use and if you have any wood at home like we did. I 100% recommend building your own shelf or having someone who knows what they are doing, build one for you. I had Cory (my significant other) to help build it, but it is so sturdy, he was hanging on it and it did not budge. It is super safe for having kids and clients in and out of the studio, I am so happy with it. Totally worth the money and time!
Here are a few behind the scenes shots from my phone that I captured along the way, for those who are visual learners like I am!
Bridget's Maternity Photos with Daughter
Maternity photos usually take place outdoors, but yesterday I had the chance to capture Bridget, her baby bump, and her daughter Kennedy in the studio! It has been so cold and snowy outside, so we decided to shoot indoors, and I was so happy that we chose to! Both Bridget and her daughter were gorgeous in their flowy dresses and floral crowns.

Cheyenne & Randy at Whitetail Tree Farm
OH MY WORD! Where do I begin, this is the only session this year that I have captured in the snow and I am in love! We could not feel our fingers after being out in the snow for about 30 minutes, but it was so worth it! Cheyenne and Randy were sooooo sweet to work with, I had such a great time with this married couple. I hope that I get to work with Cheyenne and Randy again in the future, because it was such a joy capturing them!
