THE ABELEDA-LEONARD FAMILY

INDIANAPOLIS PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Wow, what a an incredible family….I walked away from this shoot in awe of how cool they were! We had soo much fun together and over the course of our time together, I learned that they know multiple languages, do childrens triathlons (FOR REAL…and several of them!), are involved in countless activities, I can’t even remember how many they listed….all while being such fun, polite, sweet and well rounded kids! I was soo impressive! John and Caroline make it look easy too and even brought the dog along for more fun and laughs! Oh this was a great shoot!! John, Caroline, Sophia, Dane & Caden…I soo enjoyed our time! Thanks for a super fun shoot and for being soo wonderful to work with! :)

 

PATRON SECRET DINING SOCIETY

LUCAS ESTATE | CARMEL INDIANA

I had the fantastic opportunity to photograph an unique event for the Patron Secret Dining Society & Reindeer Digital Agency! It was an event where members of the Patron Social Club entered for a chance to have an exclusive gourmet dining experience at a private location in Indianapolis! The diners all boarded buses at a nearby location and were unaware of their destination. It turned out that they were having a once in a lifetime experience of an intimate evening of dining and cocktails at the renowned Lucas Estate. To sweeten the already incredible evening, Mr. Forrest Lucas himself would be their host and dine amongst them. Their meal and paired drinks were masterfully created by two of Indianapolis’ leading culinary and mixology experts, Chef Steve Oakley from Oakley’s Bistro and Zach Wilks of Ball and Biscuit. Such thought and care was put into making the meal, the drinks and the overall experience a respresentation of Patron, the Thanksgiving season and Indianapolis. Patron and Lucas Oil are both key figures within the sports that are soo special to our city, football and racing. Indianapolis is also becoming a haven for incredible restaurants, with a thriving “foodie” scene. So, for diners to have a fusion experience of Patron, The Lucas Estate, Oakley’s Bistro and Ball and Biscuit was truly special and very memorable!! It was such a fun evening….
