hannah.

...this is hannah, she'll be starting 1st grade.

she's my cousin alison's daughter (so i guess that makes hannah my second cousin?)

anyways...she came up to stay with us a few weeks ago, we went swimming, made some *lovelies*, made pizza & french fries for dinner, cupcakes for dessert, and had some waffles the next morning...yup that's right, we hosted  a sleepover (alison warned us there might be a few tears, but NONE were shed!).  she brought two teddy bears and a whole "disney princess" suitcase full of stuff...cute, huh?

we love hannah, and we're glad she loves hanging out with us.

i grabbed my 35mm for a few fun images.

danielle & tim.

...oh where do i even begin?!  let me make it easy and start from the beginning!!  we met up with these two *lovely* people (and their doggie!) for their e-session and from the first couple of minutes we were laughing like old friends!!  we had SO been looking forward to their wedding all summer and they chose an amazing little winery outside of cleveland for both the ceremony & reception, and it was the PERFECT choice...laid back, charming, fun, just like them : )  their families were awesome and so welcoming and silly (score for us!) and their friends were equally awesome (we're firm believers in the old saying about people who surround themselves with good people). 

thank you SO much to both danielle & time (who have been so patiently awaiting their post!) we hope that this is just the beginning of a long friendship...we wish you tons of love always!

*outshine*.

 

 

 

just like an old hollywood movie star...she looked so very lovely.

 

...and her dress was incredible.

 

a new favorite.

 

or wait, maybe this one.

 

 

tim : )

 

 

 

just like rock-stars.

 

 

 

: )

 

 

the following conversation went a little something like this...

robbie- "how do you feel about sitting in the back of a dump truck? you can say no."

dani & tim- "awesome, sounds good, we trust you guys"

me- (in my head) we have the BEST couples : )

 

 

purple picnic tables.

 

 

 

 

 

 

robbie made a new friend. : )

 

katie & jerry.

...even though it rained the whole day, we still snuck in a few fun images of just the two of them...here are some of our favorites!

(pssttt...katie, if you're reading this, i would get a HUGE canvas of this one, i LOVE IT so much!!)

 

 

 

 

 

traveling circus and medicine show: the redux.

i think lauren has left out the part that our first date was a counting crows concert in college. every since then, the band has meant something very special to us. over the past couple of years we've and a very special opportunity to build a relationship with their representatives. fortunately, as ohioans, we had the pleasure of catching up to the tour one more time when they performed in cincinnati. i can't underscore enough how much we love these guys and appreciate the chance they've given us in photographing the shows. if you haven't checked their calendar, you should! the tour goes on into next month. the show is absolutely awesome!

this was actually my first time shooting the band. i've been a huge fan since 7th grade....so, i'll admit i was a little nervous but i think i got a grip just in time.

:- )

robbie.

amazing.

 

...it's NOT TOO LATE, you can still pedal with pete (and robbie & mark!)

happy wednesday everyone!!  i wanted to remind you all again that it's not too late to donate for the bike ride this saturday, with the proceeds going to the wonderful charity pedal-with-pete.  robbie & mark are embarking on the 48 mile ride in just a few days, and would love your support, and remember, every dollar helps, even the $4 you might spend on a cup of coffee would be awesome : )

jill & scott.

...this is jill & scott (aren't they cute?!)  we had such a great time walking around and laughing with them during their session...we met up with them in cincinnati and found some really great, fun spots to get some kick-butt images (it might be our new favorite place to shoot at it was THAT cool!)  they're both such laid back, totally in love, and so silly (which is our FAVORITE kind of couple!)  they're getting married in just a few weeks, and we can't wait!!

: )

l. & r.

 

totally love the textures in this...

 

the way r. saw this image...

...and the way i saw it. : )   (i love them both.)

we found this awesome little spot, complete with graffiti.

mary & sebastian.

hi everyone!!  we're a tad bit behind on posting...but that all changes today!!  stay tuned for a bunch of fun posts, another counting crows show, katie & jerry's wedding, jill & scott's e-session, danielle & tim's wedding and more!!

starting things off though are the fantastic mary & sebastian (who you may remember from their fun lifestyle session just a little while ago!)  they were married on a wonderfully sunny and warm day in june, surrounded by TONS of awesome friends & family at the beautiful conrad hotel in downtown indianapolis.  the entire event was so classic and fancy, and we LOVED being a part of such a happy day!!  we also got to work with the fabulous conrad events planner amanda (who we adore).  the flowers were amazing, mary's dress was amazing, sebastian was charming...so, our kind of wedding.

mary & sebastian, we wish you tons of love and happiness always!
