Z + Gary E-Session

February 27, 2010

Z (Lindsay) was Amy’s roommate in college and lives out in Ohio.  They were so gracious to come out to Indy and have their e-session here.  We are so excited to take their wedding pictures in Ohio this year.  They have such a beautiful love and we had such an amazing time hanging out with them and then having dinner afterwards.  She has a tradition as a family to go to the Indy 500 every year so that’s where we started and then ended up downtown.  It was so cold that night, so a big thank you to Z and Gary for sticking it out with us.

One thing that I always try to do is keep learning.  Keep pushing myself as a photographer and placing myself is situations that are challenging.  I love natural light photography.  I love the qualities of natural light. But it has it’s obvious limitations.  The biggest thing I want is to have as many options, to get the best pictures, in any situation.  So what better situation to put myself in, than the night.  No natural light at all and just one flash.

You’ve probably seen Katie and Jared quite a bit here.  They are some of our very best friends and are always up for anything.  This whole shoot is downtown Indianapolis, after dark, trying to creatively use flash.  It was definitely a challenge, but it was so fun.  And I really can’t wait to start integrating this kind of work into our weddings and e-sessions.

Fashion Shoot @ Static Salon

February 1, 2010

Broadripple IN:  Kate is one of our great friends and is the artist behind Rogue Lash.  She approached us about taking pictures for a national competition where she would get some models and completely do the makeup, the hair stylists at Static Salon in Broadripple would do the hair, and we would take the pictures.  We were so stoked about it.  Everyone at Static Salon was so amazing and Kate knocked the makeup out of the park.  Brooke, Lindsay and Kacey (models) were so fun to hang out with and did such a great job.

Fashion photography was one of the main things that got me into taking pictures.  I love looking through fashion magazines and getting different ideas on creative lighting, posing and makeup.  This was definitely a fun shoot for me and we really hope you enjoy it!
