I think one of the things I like best about my work telling engagement and wedding stories through photography is getting to see so many friends happy.

Diana, Roger and I met up at the Beutter Park river walks in Mishawaka for a sunny evening of photos. Sara grew up just blocks away from Battell and Beutter Parks and we spent a fair deal of our dating days walking around talking, picnicking, and photographing along the river. It’s a favorite stop for wedding parties, senior portraits, and other portraits but I was especially glad to hear the park would be more than just a pretty location for them – it is where they met last summer. How great to be able to tell their engagement story right where they met!

We’re looking forward to celebrating their wedding day soon! Congrats!

I was pretty excited when this Wedding Guest Book arrived so I grabbed the video camera and started rambling recording. Here's a preview of the Custom Guest Books included in our Memoirs Photography Package and available for all weddings! I've got to brag on the couple, the idea for the themed shoot was totally theirs. At our first meeting, the bride →

Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom NIKKOR lens I'm making room in the camera bags again, and am sad to say it's time to find this lens a home. I used this great Nikon 17-55mm DX lens for portrait shoots and weddings from spring 2007 to June 2009 and it is a workhorse. Awesome for low light indoor shoots, weddings, →

That smile and her laugh went with her everywhere, and was contagious. Today we're getting all the Bucholtz families and friends together today to remember and celebrate the 96 years of smiles she shared with us all. Family gatherings were never without laughter, and I don't see us changing that tradition today either. Eleanor V Bucholtz, at the age of 96, passed →

Why is it I can't get enough of looking at black and white photos from the early 20th century? These guys. Grandparents. Legends. Last Sunday my Grandmother Eleanor V. Bucholtz passed away a few weeks after my 30th birthday and a few weeks before her 97th birthday. She was more than ready to meet her Jesus and see her beloved Joe →

While today is my youngest sister Genna and cousin Jeni's birthdays, 5th wedding anniversaries of two cool couples (Kristin & Nate, Kristy & Matt - both with new little daughters!) it's also MY daughter Madeline's 6 month birthday. She hasn't wasted any time learning how to roll over, working on crawling, and gabbing away to let everyone know what's on her →

Got more than a handful of favorite Senior Portrait photos to show off? That giant folio thing not your look? We thought so. Grab a custom album of your favorite Senior Portrait Session photos in a book you'll open after graduation.

While throwing around ideas with Tabatha for her outdoorsy Senior Sessions it was quickly apparent she was up for something a bit different. I've been working with more and more cool clients that have been completely game to try something a bit different than my previous shoots, and I like it. From the responses to seeing their photos I'd say →

I was pretty stoked while planning Matt's Senior Session that I heard he was in a band. I've been mixing audio for live, local music since the early days back in the Underground basement. Whenever I have extra crew to run things I'll grab a camera and head for the stage to photograph the energy of a live rock show. Meet →
