Jessica & Leah // Ball State Senior Photo Session

Both Jessica and Leah are graduating this spring from Ball State University with their BFA and wanted a friend session as well as cap and gown photos. We captured so many photos in about an hour and a half! Thank you both for walking around campus and being so much fun to work with (Even in the windy weather).

Congratulations on Graduating from Ball State!

If you have any questions or would like to have your senior photos or a modeling portfolio taken, feel free to contact me.

The Coffee Mug Project // Model: Jama Tighe

I was commissioned to photograph this little white blank mug. This Etsy store owner gave me no rules besides that she needed to be able to add an image digitally, which made for a fun photoshoot with Jama. I captured all of the images I needed for my commission and then went a little over board and kept shooting. We ventured into a downtown Muncie Coffee shop, The Caffeinery, bought ourselves some warm drinks and a pink frosted donut. Outside there was snow, but the inside of The Caffeinery was warm and full of locals.

Morgan & Brady // Associate Wedding

I got the chance to assist this gorgeous wedding this past winter for Kirsten Wray Photography, from the little details to the absolutely stunning bride! The bridal party was the largest bridal party I have ever worked with, a total of 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen. We photographed, grouped, and arranged a total of 22 people, just in the bridal party! They were all a blast to work with, some even were Ball State graduates, like me.

My favorite parts of a wedding as a photographer are...

  1. Watching the grooms face when the bride walks down the aisle towards him. 

  2. Listening and watching the father of the bride give his toast, as tears stream down my face behind the camera.

  3. Photographing all of the small details such as the rings, decor, shoes, and jewelry. 

  4. Seeing the rings that the bride and groom choose, I think that the style of the ring says a lot about who they are as a couple and as individuals. 

  5. Of course tasting the food and cake! 

  6. Watching all of the drunk people dance at the end of the night (which makes me want to join in with them!)

Kip, Carbon, Mugsy, & Lil Dipper

All four of my fur children have very unique personalities and I have always wanted to capture them together in a photograph. So this winter I decided to take "family" Christmas Photos in my in home studio. Let's just say they did not go as planned and it was probably hilarious to watch me try to herd all four of them. The only group photo I got is actually 5 different images merged into one, but I am happy that I captured the ones I did. Here is just a small sneak peek of all of the photos I got that day. 

Introducing my children:

  1.  Kip the Border Collie/Australian Shepherd Mix who is 4.5 years old.
  2. Carbon The Alaskan Malamute who is almost 2 years old.
  3. Mugsy the Maine Coone cat, who is 2 years old.
  4. Lil Dipper the Alien cat who is almost 2 years old as well.

Andrea, Alex, & Alayna Family Session // Whitetail Tree Farms

I had met Andrea and her daughter Alayna at a craft bazaar, where I had a photo booth set up at, I had mentioned that Alayna was a spitting image of Andrea (but seriously they are twins). The three of them, Andrea's parents and sister also attended the photo session. They were all so easy to work with and the session went so smoothly. I look forward to working with this sweet family again in the near future!

Winter Minis With The Christmas Trees // Hailey, Harper & Dylan

Hailey & Dylan brought their adorable dog Harper for a mini session at Whitetail Tree Farm, and we captured so many amazing photos of the three of them! Harper had us all crying from laughing so hard, when she went to go running while on her leash and flipped on to her back, she just could not handle all the excitement of the photo session! I look forward to photographing this adorable family again in the future.
