MWPImages | Indianapolis Senior Photographer

Sage came out and rocked a senior photo session on the Indianapolis canal and in White River State Park.  Although this was a posing class we put on through Indy Photo Coach, she had no problem looking down the lens of multiple cameras for two hours straight.  I had a blast not only leading this course but taking a couple images of this awesome senior!  The Historical Indianapolis Canal downtown is such an amazing place to shoot any variety of photos.  I love the simple casual wear and leather jacket look she picked out.  It’s little things like that make the image timeless.  We had a gorgeous day and a gorgeous senior to work with on the Indianapolis canal.  I can’t wait to shoot another session down there soon!

As always, I strive to rock every senior session I can get ahold of to shoot!  I absolutely adore the spontaneous creativity of high school seniors.  They definitely keep me on my toes!  Plus there is nothing like the feeling of giving mom and dad something they can hold on to and cherish as their once baby is now striking off into a life of grand achievements! I know my parents still have a senior image of me on the wall, and that feels good!!!  Your session doesn’t have to be at the Indianapolis Canal, there are a plethora of options.  My camera, and sometimes lights, will travel to make sure you have the best experience possible with the tangible return of stellar keepsakes!  Contact me today!

Dee Lanee Hair Show | Indianapolis Fashion Photographer

I had a blast shooting my own little hair show in studio! Thanks to the fabulous opportunity presented by Dee Lanee. Although this made for a very long day, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The models, makeup artists, and stylist were fantastic and on point! I call this the hair show, but the reality is that Dee does this high level of work on a regular basis.  I went super simple on the setups. I used an Alien Bee 800 with a beauty dish and swapped between that and large octa with a white wall and black flats. For the paramount lighting, I just add a silver reflector below. Now to the talent of the hair show.

Models:  Karlie Kilmer, Pam Lake, Antesha Posser, and Charde Williams

Makeup Artist:  Megan Logsdon and Cierra Lee

Hair Artist:  Dee Lanee Shears

Stylist:  Securittee Brown

Photographer:  Mike Washington

I couldn’t have asked for a better team!  Such a high energy and fun time in the studio for the hair show.

Jones Crossing | Premier Wedding Venue | Mooresville, IN

Wedding venues are everywhere! Just take a look around.  I used to drive by Jones Crossing all the time since I moved out the southwest side of Indianapolis.  I never thought there was such a gem of a wedding venue tucked away down in Mooresville, IN.  Who knew they had a spectacular outdoor setting for a wedding?  Image your wedding day, walking down the aisle with a scenic view of palm trees, stamped concrete, and a gorgeous waterfall!  I really want to shoot a styled session here and a few weddings, given the opportunity.  But, I just couldn’t wait to share the spectacular view of Jones Crossing.  They even have the inside reception area decked out perfectly for any wedding reception or other events too!  With stunning led lighting, tables and chairs, a dance floor, and projection screen, I could just imagine an actual wedding party having a blast! I could even see a nice slideshow of the bride and groom on the display, created by yours truly of course!  Anyhow, I appreciate the connections I’ve made with Nikki Laycoax and her asking me to be a guest blogger on the Jones Crossing website, check it out.  In the meantime, I took a few moments to go over and scout.  Check out this place and share with a friend or two if you know someone that may be searching for a wedding venue!

Laura and JP | Avon Gardens Wedding

Here’s a quick slideshow from the Avon Gardens wedding that I shot.  This particular day I was assisting a good friend and photographer, Jackie Curts.  She’s an outstanding photographer and I was super excited to work with her.  Congrats to Laura and JP on their beautiful Avon Gardens Wedding in Avon, Indiana.  It was nothing short of an amazing day!  Being the first time I had been to Avon Gardens, I was in awe of all of the beautiful scenery the grounds had to offer.  It was like a million gorgeous backdrops and settings covering the entire space.  No matter where I turned, I thought to myself I could see a shot there, and over there, even under there!  The staff at Avon Gardens was fabulous and very helpful with anything we needed to make things go smoothly.  Of course they had pretty flowers, plants and trees, but they also tuck some nice structures in there as well that look great in images.  If that’s not enough, when the sun begins to set, you’ll notice candles, real candles, have been lit all over the place and it’s absolutely gorgeous!

If you’re considering have an outdoor wedding in a garden, I highly suggest Avon Gardens.  Don’t forget, I’ve know the lay of the land and love working there. Hint, Hint 🙂

Although these images are in the slideshow, check out some of my favorites below without the video filters applied.
