2021 Senior Spokesmodel Team: Graduation Cap and Gown Shoot

My senior spokesmodel team gets a welcome shoot, styled shoot, their own 2 hour senior shoot and then their cap and gown photos in the spring before graduating. I got to shoot with 5 out of my 6 senior girls this past week. I am going to miss them so much, but am so happy and proud of them!

Parker & Allyson's Engagement Photos in Muncie Indiana

Allyson & I met in college in art school, when she reached out to me about her engagement photos I was so excited to catch back up with her and her fiance! They drove down from Fort Wayne a couple months ago and it started pouring, so we decided to reschedule. When we rescheduled, I was so excited that they got the gorgeous fall leaves and colors at Minnetrista. I am so excited to shoot their wedding next winter (as long as covid does not change their plans!) These two were so cuddly, Parker was hugging and kissing on her the entire time while she smiled and giggled so naturally.

Rees Family Fall Photos at Minnetrista

I captured this sweet little boy in the hospital a year ago for his fresh-48 photos. Kim, his momma contacted me this fall wanting family photos and some of just their little Rowan. With Minnetrista’s beautiful fall leaves and colors, I knew it would be a great location for their family photos. Scroll to the last photo to see this sweet family a year ago in the hospital.

Rhys' 1 Year Fall Photos

I have captured Rhys since he was in his mom’s belly. His mom, Kelsey came up with the cutest set up for his 1 year photos. She brought pumpkins and Peter Rabbit props. She even made the pumpkin cake by hand, GO HER! We started his session at Minnetrista in the garden (very fitting for his Peter Rabbit fall themed shoot) and ended at the studio for his adorable cake smash. He was not in love with the taste of cake, but he did like sticking his little toes in it.

Glaze Family Session At Minnetrista

It is always fun to photograph a childhood friend, I grew up in school with Hunter and finally got to meet his wife and daughter! They were the sweetest family to work with. Stefani's sister surprised her with a family photo session for her 30th birthday. That is my kind of birthday present, photos that will last forever.

Christian & Kelsi's Engagement Photos at Minnetrista

I can't wait to photograph Kelsi & Christian’s wedding next May! These two are the sweetest and have the most well mannered pup too. We had just gotten to the session, I had taken maybe 10 photos and I was backing up away from them and I looked over and saw my step stool, kept backing up and completely fell on my back over my camera bag, feet up in the air, hands on my camera. We all got a good laugh from my clumsy butt and got lots of smiles from these two!

BFF Photo Shoot with Berkley & Courtney at Minnetrista

Scroll to that last photo to see Berkley Rios & Courtney Thomas waving goodbye to their "F" balloon. It got a little bit windy, and as we were walking to the car the midwest derecho started. You would never know when looking through their session. This BFF session was full of laughs, dog kisses, best friend cuddles and IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I offered Best Friend Sessions back before Covid started, and we finally got it scheduled. They brought their bikes, adorable dogs, men (to carry all the props around haha), a picnic, BFF Balloons, super cute hats, a letter-board and of course matching jump suits!

Jessica & David's Engagement Photos - Muncie, Indiana

So happy that I got to capture these two's engagement photos and get to know them before photographing their wedding day! They just purchased a home in Pendleton, had engagement photos taken and are planning for their wedding, such an exciting time of their lives and I am so glad I get to capture it and be a part of it.

Jessica Surber's Extended Family Session at Minnetrista

I golfed against Jessica in highschool and then officially met her later in college, I always thought she was so sweet and bubbly. She reached out to me and told me that she and her family would be back in Indiana to visit with her in-laws and her husbands children. I was so excited to catch up with her and meet her adorable kiddos. This was such a fun family to capture, their grandpa was teasing me the whole time and the little ones have the cutest little smiles and laughs.

Chantelle Portrait Session

I photographed Chantelle & Ryan’s wedding this past year and l LOVED working with the two of them. When Chantelle reached out for a portrait session for herself I was so excited to capture her once again. Ryan came along to help carry her hat and of course support her along the way and we also got some updated couple portraits of the two of them as well. If you have never had a portrait session for yourself, I suggest you book one now! I booked a photographer last fall to capture headshots and portrait of myself along with my dog Kip, and could not stop smiling after I received my photos back. The last time I had photos taken of my self was 8 years ago for my senior photos, so it was definitely time! Thank you Chantelle & Ryan for trusting me to capture your life along the way, you two are the sweetest.
