David and Britni got married!

Posted by Margot | | Posted on 1:37 PM

This was the smallest wedding I have ever photographed. The ceremony was in an adorable little chapel in a small town, enjoyed by immediate family and a few close friends. The best part was the simple cake and punch reception that allowed me all evening to photograph the newlyweds. They are so cute together!

This is my favorite! The light at this spot, at almost any time of day is AMAZING!

These glasses were all a proud find of the groom. He is a religious second hand store shopper, and provided an abundant supply of fun glasses for the reception.

Of course, this is my other favorite. I love the contrast of textures.

Land of Make Believe IV

After some genuine encouragement to pursue my idea of a Land of Make Believe calendar, I spent an obscene amount of time perfecting the following three images for my 2012 calendar. I can hardly wait for my order to arrive. Anything I don't sell at the November show, I intend to give away as Christmas gifts. The fun colors, and new textures of these just tickles me to death! I am really excited about this project!

Blissful Phenomenon III

Once again, I spent a day dabbling in smoke photography, and these are some that I absolutely love. I needed some new pieces to take to a show in November, and a few of these I plan to sell. I'm sure I could say more about the process, and some of the comments people have made on them, but I'm going to cut this short because I've been sitting at a desk in my husband's cave since before lunch time, and now it's time for bed.

This one is my favorite!

More Family Fun

This family had requested a session before we even moved back to Indiana, and we finally arranged an evening a couple of weeks ago. Since they had such a long drive, we got started just as the sun was setting, and I had absolutely incredible light to work with. The kids were adorable and a pleasure to follow around. The whole session was fun, and moved fast as we lost the light. I'm really excited about what we captured!

The fading light here was stellar!

Family Fun

Last weekend I packed up my camera and headed to a local park for some family pictures. Their daughter was a busy little gal, and I had a blast following her all over the place. Despite that it was the hottest day of the summer, I was quite excited about what I captured.

And I even got some awesome evening backlight!

Running to daddy.

I absolutely adore the old-fashioned look of this one.

And just like any little girl 18 months old, she let me know when she was over it!

Vintage Glamor

Lately, I have been obsessing over 1940s pin up portraits. I adore the victory roll hairstyles, the red lips, and the color tones. Over the weekend, I had an opportunity to dabble in the vintage style, and absolutely love my results.

Engaged: Britni and David

Posted by Margot | | Posted on 12:45 PM

The 50% divorce rate in America is a depressing statistic, and it can almost make a person stop believing in marriage. But, I think the primary reason relationships fail is few couples are as blissfully in love as Britni and David. They are mad about each other, and it's contagious. Despite the obscene temperatures early in the morning and under shade trees, I managed to capture just how twitterpated this couple is. They got engaged the day I relocated to West Virginia, and I could hardly wait to get back to Indiana to photograph this adorable couple. Congratulations, you two!
