A little gift for the groom-{Boudoir Photography Evansville Indiana}

*****please be warned that this post has skin and photos that may not be suitable for all eyes.*****

I am primarily a family and senior photographer. But every once and awhile, I get that call that from a bride or wife who wants to do something a little special for their man. Maybe they've just lost a ton of weight or they are getting ready to get married but they want to give their man something 'special.' Well, I got one of those calls a couple of weeks ago. She just didn't want to buy him some ordinary golf club or wrist watch as her wedding gift to him. She wanted something he would remember for a LONG TIME! Well I have to say, I think we achieved that with this session! She is ordering him a leather 8x8 coffee table book with a special inscription. (Ask about these if you are interested in one for your session.) I absolutely love doing these so give me a call if you want to your own bodacious beauty session!

Busy Busy Bee-Evansville Indiana Engagement Pictures

I have been neglecting my blog again. SO what else is new? But I do have a good excuse. :) This has been the craziest week for me. I've been doing Vacation Bible School all week in the a.m. as a lead teacher and I have count em, 4 shoots this week. I have another engagement session tonight so here is the one from earlier this week. This couple are old friends of mine from high school who have just found each other again and are getting married in Novemeber. We had planned on driving and shooting at the beach but as we were driving that way we ran into rain as we got south and it ended up being too muddy to continue. Bummer! But I think these came out beautifully. The light was perfect along the riverfront.

Your requests..... Evansville Indiana Pictures

Well some of you requested what you would like to hear me blog about and since I didn't get very many comments, I'm gonna do them all. (I know you are out there, my counter says there are 50 of you a day! LOL! Don't be afraid to comment people!)

Here goes....

1. What inspires you? Well, I think the question is, what doesn't inspire me. I get it just by looking around and using my eyes. Life gives me inspiration. I see beauty in everyday things. Just seeing kids playing or doing what they do, helps me pose them. I got inspiration for my web design from a wine bottle. It's all in my environment and let me tell you, I am constantly thinking about things.

2. Where would be your ideal place to hold a photo session? Hmm, this is a hard one. It's hard to say exactly where cause I don't know of all the places out there. I mean the possibilities are endless. I can tell you my favorite shots are the ones of little girls with wispy curls in sundresses twirling around in a field of wildflowers. And of course this is all in my mind. LOL I haven't found the perfect field yet. Let me know if you see one. LOL

3. How did you find photography? I took a whole year of photography in high school complete with a darkroom and black and white film. I loved the smell of developer and the feel of the camera in my hands. I took pictures of all my friends. Then I took some classes in college here and there. Then right after my oldest child was born, I decided to get back into it. I was shooting her all the time and friends and family saw my work and wanted me to do their kids. Well it snowballed from there
and here I am. :)

4. What famous person, dead or alive, would you like to photograph and where? You know I thought about this, started thinking about people in history like Marilyn Monroe, Jesus, my grandparents....who would I enjoy PHOTOGRAPHING tho....I mean Marilyn would be modelish, Jesus I would just really want to talk to and my grandparents I would just like to see again......so who....then it occurred to me...
Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock! And it would be in Tahiti in one of these huts......


He would wear white linen pants and I would probably have him sit up.......Oh wait what was the question again.... =)


Anyways, what's a post without a picture?? Here is one the latest families I did. They were SO MUCH FUN!!!

FUN!

The C Family-Evansville Indiana Family Photographer

Two posts in one day? Aren't you proud of me?? :)This was a fun family! They had lots of spunk and a desire for something funky and new. The mom is a photographer friend from Morganfield, KY and desperately needed some pictures of her own family. We photographers get so caught up in our day to day sessions that we almost forget to do our own. And most of the time if you ask any photographer, they will tell you they HATE doing their own kids pictures. I mean, yes, I take lots of pictures of my own kiddos but when it comes to a portrait for say a birthday, it's like pulling teeth to get them to cooperate. They know all my tricks. So most of the time I hire out that job to someone else. So here is a little peak from their session.

Web Tuesday......Evansville Indiana Family Photographer

I found this today and wanted to share. WOW! Is all I can say!! We all have our days where the world just isn't on our side. Where it seems that no matter what we do we just can't get ahead. It's hard. We stumble, we fall and most of the time get back up. So the next time we are laying feel like there is no where to go, think of this guy and decide to stand back up.

Forgive me.....Evansville, Indiana Photographer

Yes I confess, I am a horrible blogger. : ( I promised some pictures from the renewal ceremony last week and here it is Thursday of the next week. Well I am laid up in bed currently for a whole week due to a minor surgery that causes me to be really dizzy anytime my head is up. So I will have plenty of time to blog about whatever I wish. I've had a few sessions that I still need to post so you will be seeing those soon. As promised here is a few from the ceremony. And if I happen to sound a little silly and spacey at times, it's all the pain meds I am on.

Web Wednesday-Evansville Indiana Photographer

Last week, I pulled up to pick up my daughter from school. I looked down out the window to see one very tiny baby duckling waddle out from under a car. No one followed. No brothers or sisters, no mother or father. He was all by himself. I stepped out of my car to see if I could help this helpless little duck. What gathered to be a crowd of eight, all laid down on the ground of the parking lot to corral this duckling out of danger. It was gonna get hit, I just knew it. But finally after some coaxing, the little guy was caught and safely put in the back of a mother's van. When I saw this next story from ABC news I thought of my little duck. I wonder how he is. Where he is. If he's thriving. There really is good still left in this world. :)




I promise to be back this afternoon with a sneak peek.

A late Web Wednesday..Evansville Indiana Pet Photographer

I'm so sorry I have been MIA since yesterday afternoon as I had all intentions of posting a web wednesday. My AC adaptor for my laptop broke and I have been unable to really get to a computer until now. I am having a new cord overnighted to me and it should arrive tomorrow. Thank the good Lord! I miss my laptop. Anyway, here is the link I have for you all. It's so special and if you are a dog lover like me, you will lurve this video. SO Sweet!

A VERY special family-Evansville Indiana Family Photographer

This family is very near and dear to my heart. The mom of the family runs a daycare and used to watch little miss K for me when I had my office job. She was the BEST caretaker, daycare provider ANYONE could ask for. I mean if my kid got ketchup on her shirt, it was in the wash and back on my child before I could even see that something had happened. Now that is some service. I LOVE her! Well her and her hubby are renewing their vows on Saturday (stay tuned for those pictures as well) and they wanted some pretty pictures of the fam sitting out for the ceremony. They are such an inspiration and I can only hope my marriage and family turns out as good as theirs.








Now this little girl (she's 8) has a very rare brain tumor and is still having to go thru radition and chemotherapy. It's such a sad situation and please say some prayers for her. She has kept such a positive attitude thru it all. We love you little Miss S!

Recent Senior E-Evansville Indiana Senior Photographer

This shoot was a blast. Miss E was fun, beautiful and her property was a photographer's dream. She was up for anything including laying in a field of weeds, which I think left me with a blood sucking scary tick on my stomach. Now that is some tramatic stuff. Never found one on me before at least since I have been an adult. My mom says that I had them on me as a kid but thank God I don't remember. Eww, it was gross! Anways, here is the gorgeous and sweet Miss E.

Just to let everyone know (if you can get here!) that the website is in transition and is switching to my new template soon. Please be patient as this should only take today to be up! Thanks for your patience!

My new nephew-Evansville Indiana Photographer

Oh trying to get back into the swing of things is rough. I had sooo much fun with my nephew and sister this past week. I was so happy to be able to get some baby time and then also be able to send him home for the night. He was so squishy, sweet, and squeaky. We literally did a week long shoot too. It was nice to work around his little schedule of sleeping and eating. :) Enough of the words....on to the pics. I introduce to you little Max. I picked my top 5 from the week.
