Starting things off with my favorite

GAHHHH HOW CUUUUUTE IS ZAAAAANE??!?!

Mikey's favorite

I'm so in love with this family

Zane is FULL of personality!

THENNNNNN… we went to an open field and paintedGENIUS!!!!!! They should totally get a canvas of this… a canvas of a canvas!Okay, shushing now…

Zane had LOTS of fun!!!!! By the way, yes, it's washable paint.

Have I mentioned that I'm in love with this family?!!!??

AAAAAAAARE YOUUUUUUU KIDDDDDDDDDDING MEEEEEEEEEE????!????! Maya, you're GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! btw, favorite number 2

They brought along this drop cloth to use if we decided to do the painting in an urban area… well… we didn't… so I thought it'd be fun to use it for something elseNotice the paint on their fingers?

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. OHHHH YES… WHAT YOU'VE ALLLLL BEEN WAAAAAITING FORRRRR IS HEEEEEEERE!!!!

Maya and Patrick are local photographers here in Indy… and not only are they full of talent… but they're the nicest of the nice :) Every photographer I talk to in Indianapolis adores them… and it's obvious why… they're two of the most genuine people I've met (my favorite trait!) Oh, and super attractive… BONUS!

Okay… enough about them…. I'm flipping CRAZY about Zane!!!! He's sweet, curious, hilarious, adventerous… and… RIDICULOUSLY CUUUUUUTE!!!! When I went off to photograph Maya and Patrick for the last ten minutes of the session… he and Mike had some fun…. what kind of fun do you ask? Sword fighting with weedsYeah, sign me up!GAHHH Zane, you're awesome

Maya and Patrick, Thank you thank you THANK YOU for asking us to photograph your family… you guys are the best.

Love love LOVE!

I remember meeting these two in Vegas at the B Party and they were so welcoming to talk to! What a sweet couple!

Zane looks like so much fun, what a cutie! Painting in the field was a brilliant idea, which also happened to photograph beautifully … love these photos!

AlishaOctober 15, 2009 - 10:26 pm

ooooh I love! My sister did a painting with her fiance for their engagements (which I shot, unusual for me), but my shots are OF COURSE, NOTHING compared to yours! Gosh, I wish you’d shot them instead! LOVE your work.

oh, and P.S. really sad i’m not on the healthy train with you, but hey, i’m pregnant, so I can’t. Guess I get a prize anyway?

I just found your blog and I’m crying. I love weddings and happy people. I married two times with thesame just for the joy of preparing it and it took place 18 and 12 years ago. Now I have 4 kids (25, 15 and 2 boys with 3) and OH MY GOD I wish I could take beautiful pictures like this. I can get hapiness on theirfaces but the sets and backgrounds are most of the times horrible. I wish there was photographers like you here. This new tendence that I can see in American photos did not arrived here yet. There’s not so much happy people who like other people to be happy too here. I wish….
