Adventures in Gardening...

- Noblesville, IN -

We have been helping out with the garden at church. I can't say that I'm exactly a "green thumb" but I enjoy going out there with my family. Here are just a few photos of our recent gardening adventures.


My darling husband.







My little nephew, Landen. He was obviously out there to help us.




Landen's favorite boots.







Mom at the garden.




Another favorite... Mom holding a chicken. Priceless!





I just love the weeds!!







Todd and the lettuce. The first veggies ready to be picked!



The chickens!



Ally holding a chicken. This is my favorite. I can't not laugh at the look on her face.

4th (actually 5th) of July!

- Indianapolis -

Sunday, February 5th, we headed downtown to watch the fireworks. The actual 4th of July fireworks the night before had been canceled for the first time (that I'm aware of) due to rain and wind. It was actually a pretty cruddy day but the 5th turned out to be gorgeous and lots of fun. Here's us playing around downtown!




Barb, Carrie, Ally and I. We had good seats for the fireworks. We used my parking pass from work to go up to the top of one of the parking garages. You'll probably find us in the same spot next year!




Isn't my baby sister so pretty?!




Sisters :)






This is Ally's first photo with little Molly. She was so excited to finally meet her.




Our nephew, Jacob, making "scary" faces at the camera. Good job!




Ally with her sparkler. We love sparklers. You may have noticed this already!




This next one is a bit blurry (we were having focus issues) but I still like it. Oh and Todd is trying to look shorter so that Ally didn't feel the smallest :)




I know it is a bit late but I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th (or 5th!!) of July

Melissa and Alex

Indianapolis, Indiana

Todd and I were able to shoot our very first engagement session. The lucky couple? His younger sister, Melissa, and her fiance, Alex. Here are just a few of my favorites. Many more to come... Melissa and Alex, I hope you like them!!! Did I mention that we are now big fans of all of the wonderful gardens at the IMA?

Molly Update

So I've really been trying to work on the photos of Miss Molly from last weekend. I want to try and get them to the happy family a.s.a.p.! Molly is so cute that I can hardly stand it. Here are just a few of the many great photos from last Saturday. I really hope that The Brink's love them as much as we do!

Our First Baby Shoot

Todd and I had the pleasure of photographing Molly Jean on Saturday afternoon. She was just 13 days old! We had such a wonderful time and I'm so excited with how the photos turned out. The photos above are two of our favorites. Thank you David and Megan for letting us capture these special moments!

welcome to the world, Molly Jean!

I know... I'm terrible. I haven't blogged in a really long time! Since I've been done with project365, it has felt pretty good to have a little bit of a break (and not have to pick up the camera, if I don't want to). Anyway, Todd's brother and his wife are at the hospital awaiting the arrival of their baby girl. I couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to go to the hospital and meet this precious little girl. Anytime now!
