Giving Back…

November 30, 2009

A little backstory: Brookside is on the east side of Indianapolis.  Our church has actively been involved in after school programs, Kids Church, mentoring programs, and so much more in the Brookside neighborhood.   We have seen so many people blessed by these ministries and it makes us so happy to see the mission of the church helping people in the here and now.  From the moment we heard College Park was going to help out with Brookside we were always looking for opportunities to help out in any way.  One of our good friends works with the kids every saturday at Kids Church and after a few conversations thought it would be a fantastic idea to offer free photos to the families in Brookside.

Right now, in this financial climate it’s hard for everyone, but alot of these families have been hit the hardest.  What we have to offer isn’t huge, taking a picture is just that.  We aren’t curing cancer here, but we hope that they felt beautiful and blessed when they were with us…

Reeves Family

November 29, 2009

Avon IN: I (amy) have known the Reeves since I was in high school. Joy wanted to get some pictures with their grandson Carter. It was another perfect fall day for this shoot. It was so neat to watch him interact with his grandparents and enjoy the park. I just love to watch little ones play outside!

Amanda + Alex E-Session

November 29, 2009

Eagle Creek Park:  We met Amanda when we were at PF Chang’s celebrating Brian’s sister’s birthday this past summer. She was our waitress for dinner. She was so excited about just getting engaged. We told her that we were photographer’s and would love the opportunity to shoot her wedding. She called us the next day and we got together to discuss her wedding plans. We are so excited for their wedding coming up in July. They are the sweetest couple and their love for each other is contagious. We couldn’t have asked for a better day to shoot their engagement photo’s. Enjoy this awesome couple!

Connie & Cooper

November 18, 2009

Brownsburg IN: Connie was my first boss (and a great boss at that!) at my day job, and shortly after being on the team she told me about the adoption process that she was in.  Almost a year later she came home with little Cooper!  It has been almost a year since then and I was so excited to hear that they wanted to do a photoshoot.  Cooper is FULL of energy but he did so well during the shoot.  Asking an energetic 3 year old to hold still for more than 3 seconds is hard (believe me, I know :) ), but he did great.  I also loved to see the interaction between Connie and Cooper.  You can tell they are best friends and love each other so much.

Emily + Mike Wedding

Grand Rapids, MI: I (Amy) have known Emily since we were little girls. It was a special treat to get to be right in the middle of all the exciting events for the wedding. She was so beautiful and had arranged all the details so well. The bridal party was so willing to do whatever even though they all had to deal with freezing temperatures. You would never know by the pictures! Enjoy…
