~Alaska scrapbook~ Indianapolis photographer

   Some of you saw my post recently about my trip to Alaska with my husband.  I thought I'd take a minute & share some of my favorite photos from our trip!  Alaska was absolutely breathtaking!!   Our cruise left from Seattle, so we got to spend the day there and I LOVED it!!   

I walked around "Pike's Market" early in the morning while the shops were getting ready to open.  Nothing like fresh coffee & fish at 7am!!

We got on the ship & set out for Juneau.  While we were at sea I saw my first whale EVER!!

 

We saw these seals napping in the warm sun.  Juneau was beautiful & we got to see alot of wildlife!!

Our ship took us out to see the "Hubbard Glacier", I think that was one of our favorite parts of the trip. 

We stood out on our balcony watching the glacier & every now and then a big chunk would break off and fall into the ocean.  It was so loud, it sounded like thunder!  I was watching with our binoculars & my husband grabbed my camera (while it was still attached to my neck) and started snapping photos!  I couldn't stop laughing & and he may be a better photographer than me!  These turned out pretty good!!  LOL! 

All those little "dots" at the bottom of the photo are actually seals!  Gives a little perspective to the size of the glacier!!

We left the glacier and headed for Sitka.

We also got to spend a few hours in Victoria.  I really enjoyed our day there! 

I love, love, love taking photos of people, but it was kind of fun to shoot landscapes on vacation!!  I found all kinds of interesting things the photograph!

~ Baby Lilah~ Indianapolis newborn photographer

   I recently had the opportunity to photograph Baby Lilah and her big brother, Grayson.  We went to the park for awhile and then came back and worked with Lilah in the studio. 

   Grayson had fun on the playground!  Who says having your portrait taken can't be fun??

 

   Lilah's mommy made the banner for the nursery, how cool is that??  :)

 

   I loved working with this sweet family!

Downtown Senior Session~ Indianapolis Senior Photographer

It's Chris! 

    We met at the studio the other day, then took off for downtown Indy to take his "Senior Portraits".  I was a little worried about the weather because as you know, the thermostat outside has been set at about 100 degrees for the last couple of weeks!!  But we caught a break in the weather, and boy... we were all thankful!!

                                 I'm sure I said something incredibly funny...

 

    Chris will be a senior at Morristown H.S. in just about a week or so!  I don't know where the summer went! 

    He was such a trooper (& the whole family) in this weather!!  Even though there was a break in the weather, it was still hot!! 

    I had a great time with Chris & his family!
