South Africa Pictures For Sale

Many of you have asked me about purchasing some pictures from my recent trip to South Africa. Well, I finally have them all done and up on Pictage. If you are interested, just go to www.pictage.com/675963

They will only be up for a limited time. Canvases and big prints are available. I'm going to make a few canvases for my boys' safari themed room and frame a few big prints for my living room. There are also wine country and coastal pictures on top of the safari pictures.

I hope you enjoy looking through my amazing experience there! I'm always up for talking about it...for hours on end :o)

Leigh & Brad::Indianapolis Wedding Photography

Watch out: Major gorgeousness below! I've never seen so many blue eyes in my life. I started counting them as I was editing and lost count...along with how many times Brad blinked ;o) I LOVED Leigh and Brad's engagement session and I knew they would "bring it" on the wedding day...and they did!

Here are a few of my favorites with a slideshow at the end. Enjoy!

p.s. I had another Thriller dance reenactment...it's in the slideshow. It's awesome.


Love her smile in this one.






Brad's brother, who is in the military, surprised the whole family by showing up for the wedding! Proud Mama!


I LOVE this picture. Mainly because of Leigh's hand professing she will always "speak honestly", but also because of her twin sister's expression :o)


Check out the "Doctor" in this one!


Favorite!

Hot & Steamy: Jess and Mario

Not only were these two hot and steamy, but it was literally...hot and steamy. It was like 90 degrees all day, and we ALL loved it when a gust of wind would go by :o) I had not one, but two, rock star photographers with me, Kurtis and Jeff. I felt like I was being taken care of all day. Kurtis and I were talking about how fun it is to second shoot with someone...no pressure, just have fun. And I even think it makes you think outside the box a bit more. They both captured Mario and Jessica so well!

I fell in love with Jess and Mario back during their engagement session. I was looking forward to their day at the Mavris and just spending time with these to laid back super fun people. Mario and the guys were totally rocking it. It was the first Thriller dance re-make picture I'd ever taken. Plus, they jumped higher than most, majorly GQed it, AND were up for anything! The girls, looked radiant in their yellow dresses with hot pink roses. Jess had the perfect pair of yellow shoes (that took FOR.EV.ER to finally find) and yellow roses to match. Super cute.

Here are just a few that me and guys took on Saturday. With a slideshow at the end. Enjoy!


As I said before, one of my favorite parts of shooting with another photog (in this case two) is to see what in the world I am doing and then seeing the same pose from different angles. Here are some pics the guys got of me, and what my results were:

The only problem with seeing yourself in photos is that certain songs come to mind, such as, "What you gon' do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?..." And, there is issue of something trying to escape from my belly button?
Note to self: don't where this outfit again.

I digress...here's the after shot...cool Mario...
