JORDAN

SENIOR PORTRAITS

This is my insanely gorgeous cousin, Jordan! It seems like just yesterday we would all be gather at our grandparents for Christmas and I would watch Jordan and my other younger cousins play dress up and pose for pictures in their cute outfits….or what’s even scarier for me…is that it REALLY seems like just yesterday that I brought Jordan into the photo studios at my COLLEGE for shoots when I was in school…she was just a little tiny girl and was the little model for all of my roommates and I (I’m tempted to dig out pictures!) ;) . I was her age then…and now she’s suddenly become the college age girl. Where does time go? I can’t believe she’s now towering above me, going on 18 and her senior year of high school, recently won a national championship for basketball and will be headed to IU next year. And I feel OLD. :) Jordan…I adore you…you seriously killed it out for this shoot…now GO and have a blast your senior year and then rock it OUT at IU next year!! xo! :)

MEGAN+JULIAN

INDIANAPOLIS WEDDING | GEIST CHRISTIAN CHURCH + CROWNE PLAZA @ UNION STATION

What a sweet, special, gorgeous, perfectly planned wedding Megan & Julian had! From the meetings leading up to the wedding, I knew this one would be a show stopper…and it truly was! It had a beautiful blend, though…of show stopper-ness (i know, that’s not a real word!) and intimacy! That’s a rare blend, but this wedding had it. The families were incredibly kind and sweet, loving and emotional…Megan and Julian have a rich, wonderful connection that is impossible to miss…everything was soo well thought out, with meaningful touches sprinkled through out every aspect of the day….and then there was an incredible WOW factor to the entire wedding! It also had one of the most incredible vendor teams that a wedding could have! If there would have been ONE aspect that I would have loved to have the ability to change for Megan & Julian…it would have been the unbelievable HEAT that they endured on their wedding day! At one point in the day, I saw on my phone that the heat index was 115 and the humidity was at 98%! I was lucky to get 15 total minutes of outdoor pictures for the entire day because the heat just wouldn’t allow for it to be any other way. Luckily…all worked out in the end and the day was truly wonderful!! Megan & Julian…thank you for allowing me to have a glimpse into the very special love that you two share and be a part of your amazing wedding!! It was such an honor for me! :)
