First snow 01.13.16 // Personal

Indiana has had a pretty mild winter up until this week when we finally got our first major snow, ice, bad roads, extreme cold, and all that fun stuff. I like the snow, I really do, because the first snowfall is so fresh and clean and pretty. But if it's extremely cold with bad roads, I begin to hate it pretty quickly, because it keeps me cooped up and I start burning up with a major case of cabin fever. Today, however, a lot of snow has been melting, so I was glad that I took a few pictures of Eva in the snow yesterday, even though it was so cold we were barely out fifteen minutes before we had to go back inside with red, burning hands. Eva loved it though, even with getting severely cold. Unfortunately we weren't prepared with a hefty winter coat for her, even though I bundled her up with three pairs of clothing underneath her little coat, which is why she got too cold so fast, yet she still didn't want to go inside! 

As you'll see below, despite her gnarly faces in a couple of pictures, she enjoyed the snow, but I don't think she quite likes getting her picture taken. Don't let the few cute pictures I take of her fool you. Sometimes I honestly don't know how I get a few pictures of her to turn out, because even with everything I try to bribe her with, nothing is enough to entice her to stand still for one minute, look at the camera, and smile. I never would've expected my child to be the worst subject I've ever tried to photograph...

Logan + Cayla 08.29.15 // Greenwood Indiana


Back in August I had the pleasure of second shooting a beautiful wedding for Lemongrass Photography at the Valle Vista in Greenwood, Indiana. Because I was so busy towards the end of last year, plus with the holidays right after the last few weddings that I second shot, I never got around to blogging a few images of Logan + Cayla's day until now. It was an overcast day with the promise of minor showers, but thankfully we got through with just a few sprinkles. It was the beginning of a new life for Logan and Cayla- one as husband and wife- and everything couldn't have been more perfect for the lovebirds. A horse-drawn carriage brought the blushing bride to her groom, and afterwards, just like any wedding, everyone celebrated the couple's love with drinks and dancing. There was such a glow of love between the newlyweds, and getting to witness it is one of the reasons I love what I do.

Stay tuned for more blog posts coming soon of the last two weddings I second shot in 2015!
