Mommy and Me session, Shaindel and June | Noblesville, IN Photographer

I am always so honored when another photographer asks me to take photos for them! 
Shaindel is a friend of mine and I was so excited to shoot these for her!

Here are a few from their session!

Alex and Jeff | Noblesville Wedding Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing Alex and Jeff's wedding day, it was nothing short of amazing!  These two share a love for one another that is hard to duplicate, I wish them the absolute best in their new life together and cannot wait to see what the future holds!  

Alex and Jeff, thank you for being so freakin' awesome <3

Here in a TINY glimpse into their day!

Adventures of a 3 Year Old Photographer | Noblesville, IN Children's Photographer

Tonight's blog post is brought to you by Lu ;)

I had Valentine's Day minis this past weekend and after I was finished Lu was really wanting to see my camera.  Now mind you I have never let her touch, let alone use my camera, but I let her this time.  I kept it on manual, but I lowered my aperture to about 3 and set my shutter a little lower so her images wouldn't come out too underexposed.  Now obviously she is just clicking the shutter and not changing the settings or even the focal point, but hey she's 3! She does, however, know how to look through the viewfinder and know where the focal point is enough to move the camera around to get her subject in focus! Some of the pictures came out so good, others not so good, but I let her use it and take pictures of whatever she wanted.

Here is photography through the eyes of a 3 year old, hope you enjoy!
Feel free to leave her some love, I read all your comments to her and she is so proud of herself!

Don't be afraid to be you | Noblesville IN Children's photographer

Today's post is a little bit more personal.  I once thought photography was about how "good" you were, how many clients you had and how many people liked you.  I was wrong.  Photography, to me, is art. No matter who says you can't do something or you aren't doing it right, they will never take away the fact that your art is just that, your art.  Who cares what "they" say.  Who are "they" anyway? 

Whether in fact actual people are telling you to conform or it is the voice in your head, don't be afraid to do what you want if it makes you happy.  Be you. Be unique.  Be strong.  Let your mind fly.

I have compiled a few photos for you all that break all the "rules" that not only step out of the box they are a mile from it.  It's ok, it's fun, it's art <3

Get out there today and break the rules! (The photography rules at least)

Maracas and the Striped Pants | Noblesville, IN Children's Lifestyle Photographer

This is my third year *trying* to complete a Project 52.  Last year I made it half way through and I am determined to let this be the year!   This week the theme was noise so I pretty much just let Lu go with it...there were so many outtakes I just had to share <3

P.S. It's not too late to jump into the P52 group I am apart of! It is hosted by the amazing Sarah Cornish from My Four Hens Photography and the people in there are nothing short of unbelievably inspiring... Join us, it's good for the soul, I promise... Here is the info link <3
