Ryan & Sarah, Part 2! | Muncie, IN Engagement Photographer

Alright, I couldn't help myself. Yeah, I might be up past my bedtime (not by much) but, their photos are finished and I have a few favorites to share with everyone before I finally hit the hay!

First, a few words - that joy in their eyes? It's the kind of joy only God can provide. It's like the Glory Cloud just kinda follows them around wherever they go and you can't help but start to feel more and more giddy and calm the longer you're with them. Their wedding isn't too far away and I can hardly contain myself, I'm so excited to photograph it!

These two crack each other up and in turn, crack me up, seriously. I had so much fun! (Though the deer hunter that shoo'ed us outta the woods would probably disagree, haha. BUT WE SAVED BAMBI! So it's okay, right guys?)

Well, I could just go on and on about this session but this is a photo blog, after all - not Howdy Hoosier.

Such sweetness, really and truly. You're both just such a blessing.

So that's that. Tomorrow is another 7 A.M. morning. It's another Monday. But on the bright side? It's His day - and it's one day closer to that first Monday that's little more than just a Monday, a Monday where I'm not wishing it was Friday ... a Monday in my own home office, making my own schedule, living my own dandy little life ... but until then? We'll praise Him, anyway!

I may actually not finish these tonight, as tomorrow is my first day back at my "day job" after Thanksgiving break ... so, in the meantime, here are two teasers for you so you can get a glimpse of what I'm working on this evening!






Some of these are just precious beyond anything ... and forgive the color variations there. I've been playing around with that stuff a little too much, haha.

Here's hoping I'll have a full post up for you tonight!

A Day With Emily Weis | Albany, IN Portrait Photographer

I met Emily of Emily Weis Photography at Joel Levi's CD release show here in Muncie a week ago. She was standing next to me, the girlfriend of a dear acquaintance, and as I watched her snap photos of the show on her gorgeous Canon 5D, I whispered to my husband, "I'm going to take this little miss out to Dave's Alley after the show, beat'r up and take her amazing camera..."

Well, thankfully? I didn't! Nope, instead, I took the more promising route and totally stalked her blog until I got up the courage to ask her and her guy out on a photo date. Early this afternoon, we met up, and drove out to this beautiful bridge in Albany, with one goal in mind: we'd each take promotional photos of the other for our burgeoning photography business, and then, practice couples' photography by capturing some pretty pictures of each of us snuggled up to our handsome boys.

It was cold (about 40 degrees out) and cloudy ... but it was a pretty cloudy, and she was a very, very pretty girl, and James (as usual) had at least one person laughing at all times. As hard as it was to pick, I found a few favorites to share with you all!

I love how gorgeous it is out here - all the trees are so wintery!

And the best for last...

Agh ... sooo, soo, so pretty.

Needless to say, my Saturday hasn't involved much lying around ... I should probably take care of that now by going to bed for the night, you think?

Thanks so much Emily and James for hanging out with us today. It was so fun - next time? It'll be laundromat time. That sounds perfectly normal and natural to me!
