are you KIDDING me?!

 

This just might be my favorite "action" shot of me EVER! 

You know how I always say "AYKM?!" Well, I write on this blog EXACTLY how I talk… Shocking, I know.  I say it ALLLL of the time (just ask Mikey!).  Here's a photo that Betsy captured of me actually SAYING it.  I really feel like this photo captures who I am and how I shoot OH SO well…. and I LOVE it!!!! Here's a HUGE thank you to Betsy for capturing it!

 

 

 

 

 

That photo was taken 30 seconds (approximately:)) before I took this photo :) 

 

 

 

And by the way Cassie… ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THAT GORGEOUSNESS?! 

Betsy, Cassie… LOVE TO YOU BOTH!!!!  :D

We photo'd kat+skip's engagement session at the same place they're getting married… at a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Lafayette… how awesome is that?!

 

 

 

 

 There were so many cool trees on the property…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's a dragon back there :)  WOWZAS!

 Then we went inside the house for just a few more…

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE TO SNUGGLE!!!!!

 

 

 

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Kat and Skip are such cool people.  Kat is loud, funny, says exactly what's on her mind all of the time, comfortable in her skin, loves life and is fun to be around.  Skip is a little more reserved, very patient and OH SO caring… together, they're the perfect match!

I can't even explain how NEAT it was to photograph these two at the Samara House.  I didn't know much about Frank Lloyd Wright until that day… and let me tell you… Kat and Skip are a PLETHORA of Frank Lloyd Wright knowledge!  Kat actually volunteers for the Samara House and gives tours… she knows EVERYTHING there is to know about that house! 

We met the owner of the Samara House that night… Dr. John Christian.  He, along with his daughter Linda are such warm, caring, genuine people…  Dr. Christian told us the story about meeting Frank and the whole design process.  Now, I don't know much about architects and their process… and I'm not sure if this is common… but Frank custom designed EVERY aspect of that house… the rug, the furniture, EVERYTHING!  Mike and I were sitting there talking to him, Linda, Kat and Skip on a VERRRRRRRRY ooh la la rug… just SITTING there.  I got kind of nervous knowing that this was an AUTHENTIC ($$$$) rug… when Kat kept reminding me that it was okay to relax (easier said than done!).

For me… the most surreal part of the whole experience was pulling up to this house… and seeing that it was in the mix of suburbia.  It had a front yard, a back yard, and sits on a one acre plot… just like any other house.   I can't imagine living next door to a FLW house… talk about keeping up with the Jones' HA! :D 

Kat and Skip… you rock!!!! We SO cannot WAIT to photograph your day!!!!! 

LOVE!

Over the last couple of years, Annie and Ben have become great friends of ours… Afterall… This will be the third time we've photo'd them:D 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 HOW PERFECT IS THIS BABY?!
 
 
 
 
 
 
While we were there… I was sure that Andrew looked identical to Annie.  However, after editing these photos… I've changed my mind. :D  I think he looks more like Ben:)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
WHATCHYOO LOOKIN' AT?!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When Andrew gets hungry and Ben is holding him… he sucks on his daddy's arm hoping for something else :)  It's SO funny because Ben has little baby hickies all over his arms:D
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Isn't his room perfect?! Mikey's favorite:?:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It's so cool to now see them as parents:)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 My Favorite:!:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Annie… WE GOT IT!!!!! (years ago we put a photo up on our blog of a baby yawning… WAY back then Annie emailed and said…"I just want you to know that the pic on your blog of the baby yawning is definitely my favorite pic in the entire world – seriously.  You are already hired to take pictures of my babies, whenever they arrive :)" )
 
 
 
 
 
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  Man oh man it's SOOOO neat to see your friends become mommies and daddies!  Annie and Ben are OF COURSE amazing parents.  They are two of the most patient, loving, parently (got a better word for that?!) people I've ever met! 
 
Annie is Martha Stewart… this is not a lie.  Her house is perfect, she's an amazing cook and an AWESOME wife/mom.  Oh, and did I mention she's in med school?!  Yeah… how can we normal women compete with that?! 
 
Ben is a first grade teacher… So, when we VERY first met him, I asked if he was ready to have children… he said that he couldn't wait.  Seeing the two of them with Andrew… wow.  Not sure if you noticed that Ben is quite fashionable and couldn't pick just one polo to wear… he changed three times :D  Well really… Andrew kept spitting up on him. :)  Never once on Annie though… he saved 'em up for daddy!
 
We are SO excited to watch Andrew grow up… and not to worry… you guys will be able to see him grow up, too… this will not be his last time on this blog:DYAHOOOOSKI!
 
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
