My first wedding of the year. I couldn’t of asked for a better couple to kick off the season.

Christine & Joe were so easy to work with. They both were just so excited about the day and nothing got them rattled.

They got married at 2nd Presbyterian Church on Meridian Street in Indianapolis. It is a photographers dream church, tons of areas for amazing photographs. I hope I get to go back there again I had my eye on some areas that I didn’t get to try out this time.

Joe was so cool. I have never seen a groom that was so into his wedding. Even to the point he loved smelling the flowers!

After the ceremony we headed downtown to the Columbia Club for the reception, another great venue right on the circle. We were very fortunate that the weather held out so we could get some shots at the monument.

I hope they enjoy their photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Well basketball season is basically over. It was fun while it lasted.

Now it is time to get back to what I know.

Charlie came to see me today. He is almost 4. I’ve known him since he was a baby.

His parents are Kelli and David Sauser. As a matter of fact I photographed their wedding.

Anyway he just played and I photographed him it was fun! (more…)

When one is a photographer, one thinks they can photograph anything. You soon find out that is not the case.

I have been trying for years to capture sports, like the guys at “Sports Illustrated” First of all my knowledge of the game of basketball goes back to my high school days in Canada, where I played defense because I was one of the taller girls. Our job was to get the ball down the floor hand it to someone who could shoot. There was no strategy.

Since I have been in the Hoosier state I am learning and starting to anticipate the game. My next hurdle is the lighting in these high school gyms….HORRID… I have to set my camera at a setting it doesn’t like and if I am lucky I might stop the action of the boys as they fly through the air past my lens. Also I know it is a poor craftsman that blames her equipment, but I have found out that some cameras just do better at high speeds. Mine isn’t one of those.

All that said I have spent the last few weeks following two High Schools in their search for championship status.

Congratulations to both Monroe Central Golden Bears, and the Winchester Falcons on their sectional wins.

The Bears are my home town school, it is where my children graduated from. So that was the team I watch win Saturday night. I wish I could have beeen in two places at one time from what I understand The Falcons played one great game!

The mighty Bears

Wish I had a team picture of The Falcons, but couldn’t make their championship game. Here is some of the action shots from their game against the Wapahani Raiders
