Happy Holidays!

I would like to wish all of my past, present and future clients a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I was on my way home from shopping the day before Christmas Eve and noticed a beautiful sunset starting to form. I went home and grabbed my husband, son and camera to go take photos for pleasure instead of business. It was a nice time and the sunset turned out to be amazing! There were geese flying everywhere - see if you can find both flocks in the first image. I had forgotten how cold it was and by the time we were finished, I thought my hands would fall off.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these images because it isn't often that I have time to photograph scenics!

Kyle and Kim's Wedding

Kyle and Kim were married on December 15th at The Discovery Lodge. They planned a Winter Wonderland themed wedding in royal blue and silver which was absolutely stunning! Snow was predicted for the day of their wedding so I was very hopeful to finally be able to photograph a "snow bride". Well, all we had that day was rain and it did snow, but a day late. We were hoping for a day after session in the snow, but it didn't stick around long with the sunny day we had. Despite our weather mishaps, we were able to get some nice images and even went outside for a few. It was cold though so we didn't stay for long! After the wedding, Kim was a real trooper and even walked barefoot across the pavement to keep from getting her wedding slippers soaked. Kyle and Kim were such a pleasure to work with!

Child Labor

I am working on a project to burn and print 500 dvd's for Superbride Sunday. I am doing them myself because it was VERY expensive to have it done and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Well, my 10 year old nephew graciously offered to help me out (if I paid him) since he was saving up his money to buy an Xbox. So, he came over on his half day off from school last week and we finished up about 150 of them. I still have a long way to go, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. As of today, I have all of them burned and still have 250 to print. Maybe I can put my 4 year old son to work too! :)


Here are 400 of them stacked up. I guess I should have stacked them all up to show how many there really were.


Nick...hard at work!


Ahhhhhhh! Progress...


My poor little dvd burner sure is working overtime!

Christina and Jay E-session

Back on November 1st, I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful couple for the first time. Until now, all of my communication has been with their wedding planner, Veronica Hamilton with V&Co. Christina and Jay are both in the military and are stationed in Japan so this was their first of two trips home before the wedding. We had an awesome time in downtown Evansville for their engagement shoot and even had an inside scoop when we found out that Christina's stylist "knew someone" at the Old Courthouse. We were able to get inside and got some amazing shots with natural light, which is my favorite shooting style. It was very hard to edit this shoot because there just wasn't a bad shot of either one of them! I am really looking forward to their wedding day in May 2008.

Rebecca and Bruce

Well, I have to say that Rebecca and Bruce far exceeded my expectations of a "Simple Elegance" wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better day in November. It was warm and there were many beautiful fall leaves still on the trees. Their wedding day began at St. John the Baptist in Newburgh with a beautiful bride and a handsome groom. We went from the church to Rolling Hills Country Club for a very elegant and intimate reception with their friends and family. Rolling Hills had a golf cart ready for us to take to the lake for some photos. I forgot to mention that since April couldn't be with me on this wedding, I talked hubby into coming along and helping me. Since he isn't the photographer in the family, I have to say that I am impressed with many of the shots that he took for me. I just wish he would agree to come along more often, but he says that is one too many days of me telling him what to do.

Congratulations to Rebecca and Bruce! You may click here if you want to see the rest of their wedding images.

Jessica & Andy

Jessica and Andy had a beautiful wedding on October 20th at St. Boniface Catholic Church. Jessica is a very detail-oriented person who called me on several occasions to make sure that I would be able to capture the details of her day that she worked so hard to plan. So, on her special day, I made sure that I photographed every little detail and even caught a couple of shots of the happy couple enjoying their day. Thanks guys for allowing me to share your day with you!

The things we do for love.....(a.k.a. our clients)

Last weekend, my friend Matt helped me shoot Ward and Heather's wedding. Here are a couple of shots that he took of me "working. Keep in mind, I am just under 5 foot tall and the tires on this truck are almost as tall as me. I had fun climbing and luckily, I didn't fall and kill myself. :)

Making sure I have my footing. If this truck would have moved an inch, my escape plan was to dive forward!

Getting the shot...

Ward and Heather

After working with Ward and Heather on their engagement photos and custom guest book, I was very excited to photograph their wedding. Well, they didn't disappoint! It was a beautiful day with a gorgeous bride and a handsome groom. The most unique part of their day was the "getaway semi". Yes, you heard me, they had a flat-bed semi-truck and trailer take them to their reception. Their wedding was held at Saints Peter and Paul in Haubstadt. The wedding party made a stop along the way at Hornville Tavern for a few drinks. Rumour has it that Ward's name is on the wall. I wonder what for? We then headed for the reception which was held at the newly remodeled Knights of St. John in St. Wendel. I was pleasantly surprised!

Congrats to Ward and Heather!

Michael and Jennie

My first trip to Vincennes couldn't have been any better! I only live one hour from this beautiful place and I now wonder, why haven't I been there before? Michael and Jennie were married at the beautiful St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. After their ceremony, we visited the George Rogers Clark Memorial which is such a beautiful place for pictures! I could have spent all day there with this wonderful couple taking photos but it was 90 degrees and they told me they had a reception to attend. Oh well! I think we got some nice photos in the short time that we did spend there. Click here if you would like to see them.

Mike and Stephanie

Do you believe in fate? Well, I do now! Last summer I was shopping for sparklers for my sister's wedding at State Line Fireworks when I met Stephanie. I was talking about my sister's big day and that I was also the photographer and Stephanie told me she would be getting married in 2007. I gave her my card and we met later and she booked me as her photographer. The "fateful" day was when we did the Engagement Session at Audubon Park. Mike and Stephanie fell in love with the park and asked me if they did weddings there. I referred them to the office and they booked Audubon that day for their wedding. I was very excited since I have done many portraits there but never a wedding. Fast forward to 9/29/07...a beautiful, not too warm, sunny, September day with a couple who could not be more in love! It was a wonderful day and we even saw Elvis during a photo session at Burdette Park. Who could ask for more on their special day?
