Top 12 of 2012 - clients {Terre Haute photographer}

I've been planning this blog post for quite a while. I did one last year, but this one was so much harder to do. It was ridiculously hard to narrow down the images I wanted to use, not only because I loved so many of the images, but I just really enjoyed all my clients this year. It was a fabulous year filled with amazing clients and I really feel blessed to have been invited into their homes and lives to capture memories for them.

First up is Kylee and Jace. I just love how happy they look. It's a great reminder to just hang out, relax, and enjoy your kids. The days are long, but the years are short.


Next up is Bennett and Miranda. Their wedding was amazing. Not just because it was in a beautiful church, or had an awesome reception, or because the day went perfectly. It was amazing because they were very clearly over the moon excited to be getting married. Just look at how excited they both are! I love it when couples let everything else just slide off like water off a duck's back and just enjoy the day and each other, and they definitely did that. Miranda was one of the most organized and well-prepared brides I've worked with, but she didn't let her plans or ideas trump living in the moment and enjoying the day and her new husband.


Little Miss Tinsleigh...isn't she just the cutest little girl you've ever seen? She was about 10 months old I think at her parents' engagement session, so of course I took some photos of her too. I love how content she looks in her daddy's arms.


When we were planning their family session, Gavin's mom mentioned that he loves to ride his bike. I already knew that we would be at Fowler Park in Terre Haute, where I do most of my silhouettes, so we planned this shot.  It's a little slice of childhood captured in a photo, and I'm all about that.


This next image is from a newborn session for one of my very favorite families. Tim and Lianna have been friends with me and my husband since we were in high school and their very first date was the night of our wedding. In fact, Tim drove us home after our wedding and I thought he was going to get us in a wreck. He was driving so fast so he could get back to the reception where Lianna was helping to clean up because he thought she might leave before he got back. So they went out later that night and got married 2 years later, and now they have two of the sweetest little girls in the world. How cool is that?

I mostly love this shot because big sis Adrianna is not really an overly affectionate little girl, so it was so super sweet when she leaned in and gave her new sister Olivia a little kiss.


This photo is from Makenna's two-year session. This was the third time I'd photographed this little sweetheart and her family and they amaze me every time. Eric and Meredith are amazingly awesome parents and I'm so happy that I was able to capture this happy little moment between Meredith and Makenna.


Next up is Alyssa. This is one of my favorite senior photos I've done. The light was just right as were walking past this alley in downtown Terre Haute, and of course she's beautiful anyway, so I just really like this shot.


This is the second time I've photographed this family (the first time was for Lucas's first birthday) and they are just so much fun. Lucas definitely had his own plans for this session, which didn't exactly line up with our plans, but when we went out on the front porch (while it was sleeting/raining/snowing), and got the bubbles out, he was happy to sit still for just a few minutes while we got some of my favorite photos from the session.  I love how thrilled he is by the bubbles and how in love his mom and dad are with him.

 

So, I have a thing for great "laying down" shots and this is definitely one of my favorites! This image is from Melissa and Jay's engagement session and I like how relaxed they look (yes, I know grass is itchy, but they made it work!) and Melissa's smile is beautiful!


This is Tim and little miss Olivia again. She is definitely a Daddy's Girl, and it really shows in this photo.


Almost done...this next one is my friend Heather and her new little girl Raelynn. She requested something "Christmassy" and I was looking for a sweet moment, and they both came together in this image.


Ok, last one. Danielle and Jay both worked at the Copper Bar in Terre Haute during college (and I think he was still working there when they got married), so the outside of the bar was a perfect place for some wedding photos for them. So, I love that they chose a meaningful place for the photos, and I love that the wind was blowing her veil just right, and I love how in love they look in this image. It's lovely. :-)


Thank you all so much for making 2012 such an amazing year. I feel like I'm finally pretty close to where I want to be, and doing the kind of work I want to be doing. I can't wait to see the stories I get to tell with photos in 2013!
