Lifestyle | The Holscher Sisters

I have had some great fun photographing families during the Christmas break! This photo session was a chance for all of the Holscher sisters to have some fun while making some memories as a suprise for their mother on Christmas eve...These girls did a wonderful job sneaking around planning a special Christmas eve dinner and we created a slide show of images from their session that was to be played for her as an added bonus! You can view it HERE! I was so excited to be a part of their project~







The next two photos were originally inspired by the infamous Beatles photo...

but when I showed my sister the slide show she told me that the Dixie Chicks had a very similar photograph for one of their albums...how ironic?! That definately wasn't planned, but pretty cool that the song that they choose for the slide show was "Landslide" by the Dixie Chicks!






I had such a blast with these girls! Although the weather was pretty rough..Super cold and WINDY, I really feel like we got some wonderful photographs of them and created some great memories for them to have forever...







Well, needless to say, with the weather not on our side we decide to head for warmth and a little comfort in the form of caffiene! Coffee Grounds is a coffee shop located in downtown Terre Haute and provided us with exactly what we were looking for...hot coffee!! The shop also provided a vivid background for some candid sister moments...I love the color in contrast to our very "wintery" moments in the previous photographs...It really makes it seem like we had a jolt of caffiene to warm ourselves up~















I'm really looking forward to working with these girls in the future...I have the honor of photographing Megan's wedding in October of 2008 and I just know it will be a blast...I already feel like I'm becoming part of the family. You can view Megan and Mark's engagement slide show HERE and a previous post about their future wedding HERE...

Thanks so much girls...I wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lincoln

I was "organizing" my baby photos today and found this one! I was having a proud mama moment and wanted to share an image of my baby Lincoln...

Lifestyle | Ashley & Andrew

Here are some shots from a family photo shoot that I did for Ashley and Andrew Thomas...Ashley and I were both worried that because they are so close in age that it would come off as a couple rather than brother and sister, so we kept the mood fun...and quick because it was FREEZING outside! Their intention for the photo shoot was a Christmas gift for their mother...I think mom would be proud!




Like I said earlier, our session was shorter than normal...just enought time to get some nice head shots and a few of them together, so I'm only posting a few of my favorite images...I just wanted everyone to see how HOT they both are!! Beautiful smiles too!!





Do you guys remember the movie "Sixteen Candles"?
...Doesn't Andrew look just like Jake Ryan?!

Engagement | Megan & Mark

I met Megan & Mark months ago when they were "shopping" around for a wedding photographer! I invited them over to my studio and we talked about what they were looking for to make their wedding day perfect. I got to hear a great story of how they met and all about their love story...It was great meeting them! Since then we have shot their engagement photos and they have been SOOO much fun to work with! We shot some great images that really capture them as a couple...how they cuddle, how they smile at each other and how they tease each other too!



We headed off to McCormick's Creek in Spencer Indiana to get some great fall/Midwest scenery...It was the perfect day for what we wanted and I think that they photos really bring out who they are at heart....Megan mentioned a few times that she was a "country girl" at the core! How perfect ~




I can't get over how great their smiles are!!

Some of the shots have been used on their wedding website. A lot of couples have been using this as a method to keep track of wedding details and guest lists. It is a wonderful way to keep everyone informed on the events and happenings leading up to the big day! Take a look at their website here...meganandmark.com/


I saved my favorite for last!!

It is set to the tune of "I got you babe" by Sonny & Cher, which is in the running for the song for their first dance....How fun!

Oh and you will probably wonder why we shot some photos with a lawn mower....well, just ask! It's a great story~
