Casey – Terre Haute North Senior

The last time I blogged it was a sweet baby girl named Casey just starting out her journey in life. Today I’m sharing images of another Casey… this time just starting out her senior year of high school. What an exciting time in life… and what an honor that she selected me to document it for her!

Sweet baby Casey

Katie – Terre Haute South Senior

Kathy — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:46:43 +0000

I’ve been making several trips home to “The Haute” to shoot this year. I blow in to town with my three little curtain climbers, invade my parents house, eat all of their food, scatter a bunch of toys and dirty diapers, shoot like crazy for three days , stay up all night editing, and then blow back out as quick as I came in. Kind of like a tornado… except my children leave a little bigger path of destruction behind them! A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot BEAUTIFUL Terre Haute South Senior, Katie. Katie & her friend Max met me down town and we wandered around aimlessly (that’s my normal routine) shooting for awhile and then headed to my secret location #1… followed up with shooting right at sunset at Katie’s high school and my alma mater… home of the braves… THS. I have such great memories from High School. Everyone talks about how hard those years were… not for me. Great friends, great experiences, and most of all great fun. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost FIFTEEN YEARS since I graduated from THS. Too bad I didn’t look like this back then…

Meredith + Ryan

“We did it!” session the morning after their BEAUTIFUL wedding. Prepare to be overwhelmed by two people so in love, so happy. Oh, and yes… Meredith is just as goregous in person.

Whitney & Chase

I was super glad when Whitney called me and told me it was time for another session. I shot Whitney and her family two years ago and ohhhh how her sweet Chase has grown! We had a few drop in’s join us during the sessions too. Whitney Mom and brother got in on a little photo love.

Two firsts for me…

1. My blog’s first slideshow

2. My first time shooting a BEAUTY QUEEN!

Aimee and Family

Kathy — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:59:21 +0000

I started shooting Aimee and Joe’s photos a couple of years ago. I’ve had the opportunity to watch her get engaged, married, her sweet Kailyn change through a couple of birthdays, and recently she welcomed Myer in to the world. Aimee introduced me to her stepmom Penny, and her beautiful sister Jordan. A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to photograph Aimee’s Mom’s family. Despite the YUCKY weather… it was a good morning.

Reevaluating

Kathy — Sun, 16 May 2010 01:47:45 +0000

A friend of mine shared a wonderful gift with me that has made me step back and reevaluate why I started photographing people. It’s made me really SEE what I’m shooting again. I think that once my business got established and I realized that I was shooting images that people wanted to purchase, I got lazy. Sometimes I just shoot was is comfortable, what is safe, what makes me money.

I don’t want to be that photographer.

Don’t get me wrong, every session I shoot has a few of those photos in them… a few photos that reflect what I’m about. A “few” isn’t going to be enough anymore. I feel like a new fire has been lit and I’m ready to get back to my roots. Shooting not just people… shooting feelings… shooting emotions… shooting love…

This session was a wonderful place to start.

Hot off the press

Way fun family shoot tonight. This might be the fastest sneak peak post in my blog’s four year history.

Love the location.

Love these kids.

Love this Mom.

LOVE this photo.

More “loves” tomorrow!

Shannon + Neil

Kathy — Thu, 13 May 2010 20:16:31 +0000

I was soooo excited to have the opportunity to shot Shannon (baker of the most awesome first birthday cake EVER) and Neil’s engagement session a couple of weeks ago in Terre Haute. They have been together for five years and for at least four and a half of it my entire family has been telling him to buy that girl a ring before she got away. See, Neil is my cousin and Shannon, well she is by far WAY to perfect to marry in to our family! Thank goodness he finally listened and at Thanksgiving last year they made the big announcement and showed us all the ring. They are having a tropical destination wedding this fall so I won’t have the chance to shoot their big day (can you believe they aren’t taking me with them… don’t they know how much I like the beach?!?)

We met at their house and walked across the street with Millie (their dog) to the ISU football stadium. Two people who love each other sure makes my job easy.
