Katie and Rob {Valparaiso Wedding | 5.26.2012}

It is always special to do work for friends.  I am always honored when friends of mine want me to help them record the memories of one of their most important days.  Katie and I met through our work as therapists.  She has moved out of town, but still contacted me last Fall to photograph her wedding.  Katie and Rob were married at St. Paul's Church in Valparaiso, IN.  Their reception was at Strongbows in Valparaiso.  They had a very cute movie theme for their reception complete with popcorn, and movie posters starring the newlyweds!  It was one of the warmest days we've had this Spring, but we survived :)  The day was perfect and every detail was just beautiful.  Congratulations to Katie and Rob and best wishes on their new life together.  Special Thanks to Allison Mayer of Allison Mayer Photography and Design for being my trusty sidekick and Catholic wedding aficionado for the day. 

Avon High School Dance Recital 2012

One of my favorite times of year is when I get to go to Avon High School for the end of semester dance recital.  This concert was special because some of these dancers were the first to take these classes when they were first offered only 4 years ago.  The program has grown and the talent is always amazing from student choreographed works to professional choreographers from LA and NYC.  I have gotten to know several of these dancers through the dance team, and am so excited for them to continue their dancing in college!  It is such a joy to watch the students grow over the years and some of them are being exposed to dance for the first time.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from the night.  You can see them all HERE:
