Oh, The Smith Family!  We really really REALLY think they are special.  They are the kind of family you are around and say, WOW, I hope we can make a family like that.  They make you feel warm in an instant; they’re down-to-earth and sweet as ever; so easy going…and they maintain their grace and...

Maya - Oh my!!! Look how precious they are. Great moments of these little ones.

Bobby

Bobby’s graduating!  Whoa, time flies…we’ve known Bobby from the time he was born.  It’s so wonderful to see the nice young man he’s become.  He was super for the shoot; he needed very little direction and seemed to be a veteran in front of the camera.  We traveled around his Michigan stomping grounds where he...

Alison - Shut the front door!!! I was just wondering the other day what these guys were up too! I can’t believe that Bobby is graduating! I hardly know him but it seems crazy that he is that old already!! Great pictures as usual guys!!

Sam - You’ve made little Bobby a man! He is looking so much like his dad. (I hope he doesn’t make his sister cry!)

Jennifer - Yes, he does look like his dad! And I noted he’s really sweet to his sister. Alison, I know! Thanks!!

Jennifer and Tom | West Lafayette, IN Wedding

This couple wowed us from the start.  When we first met, Tom described his proposal to Jennifer.  Atop Mt. Whitney (the highest summit in the contiguous US), Tom got on one knee and presented the ring.  AND he had hauled a tripod and camera set to shoot the stills as it happened.  Pretty incredible, huh?! ...

Camp Kurt & Jen 2011

Wow, we almost forgot to post this!  I’m not sure how as it’s such a big star on our summer calendar.  To have 7 of our nieces and nephews spend a few days of fun-filled wonder is as good as it gets (minus the extreme fatigue).  If you’ve missed the background to the best camp...

Michalina Peterson - Thank you both, from the bottom of my heart. I loved it all, except the part where you said they’re growing up…no need to mention that (tear). Love you!

Kristen, Joey, Alex and Lucas

We took a recent trip to see our most somersaulting, Jim seat-stealing (inside joke here), monster truck-driving, belly-swinging cousin we know – Alex – because he had something to show us.  He recently received a new baby brother, Lucas.  Lucas is a perfect baby boy.  He wasn’t that sure about our cameras, but all we...

Maya - What a fun family! Gotta love boys! :)

Carly

In 2008 we first met Carly when she tagged along for her big sister’s Senior shoot.  Now, Carly has begun her final year of high school!  So thankful were we that this lovely family made the trip from the Dayton, OH area to visit us to photograph this special time.  Carly is into so much…dance,...

Ashely, Ted, Reid and Remy

I think I’m still gushing about how adorable this family is!  They are as sweet as can be.  And they dressed to perfection for our shoot.   I loved Remy’s ruffled dress and Reid’s dapper vest.  They all matched up so nicely, smiles included!  We played around their backyard…Reid even got out his golf club...

Jennifer and Robbie | Indianapolis Wedding

We enjoyed another fabulous wedding day, this time with Jennifer and Robbie, two of the most kind individuals on the planet!  Can you imagine how nice it is being around them together?! Not surprisingly, their wedding day was perfect as it was filled with meaningful touches (Jennifer is quite handy), involvement of their favorite local...

Janice Nordsiek - Jennifer and Kurtis,

This is my favorite of all of the weddings I have seen. What beautiful work!
The picture of the bride and her dad before the wedding is awesome. The pictures of the kids having a good are so cute. I enjoyed the pictures so much I looked at them
twice.
It took me awhile before I recognized the church, St. Joan of Ark, right? The reception was held at the same place where you and Kurtis had yours. I love the unique shots that you take. I always enjoy looking at the wedding pictures.
It just makes me feel good.

Janice Nordsiek - I am here with Grandma Dottie, and I am showing her this wedding,
my favorite of all of yous. Grandma Dottie says, “I,too, enjoyed seeing the pictures. Seeing you and Kurtis made me feel close to you. Your work is unique and so beautiful.” I look forward to seeing your next pictures, and when I come to Indy again, I will show them to Grandma Dottie. Lots of Love from us both!!!
