Mindy’s side porch/stoop is always invitingly decked out with seasonal plants in pots and the window box.
It is a show-stopper every Fall! I’ll take pictures this year!
Mindy’s favorite thing is her artful arrangement of gardening tools over the door.

This inviting porch has beautiful views all around!

 
Naturally I’m head over heels for all these windows and how bright, airy, and open her home is!
My absolute favorite piece in Mindy’s house is this gorgeous vintage dresser & mirror that she decorates for each season.
It is currently showcasing her found vacation treasures from Sanibel Island.

I can easily picture this house in the pages of Country Living!

I love the colors she chose to paint her stair risers.

Greeting me at the end of Mindy’s long, winding lane was an incredibly gorgeous field of vibrant zinnias–just one of the many beautiful
cutting flowers Mindy grows. Colorful zinnias were my wedding flowers–courtesy of my generous & talented friend Mindy!
She also created the gorgeous bouquets and boutonnieres for my sister’s wedding. 

I am grateful for wonderful friends and the opportunity to spend a beautiful day with them!

What is your favorite part of Mindy’s house? If you see something you love, feel free to pin away!

With today being Forest Park’s first day of school, what better time to showcase some of my favorite senior pictures from Ashlynne’s session? I get so many beautiful products in that I design for my clients and always want to keep them for myself! I strive to get client orders delivered quickly, so I don’t always have time to take photos of all the neat things being delivered. Ashlynne’s Keepsake Image Box featured this lovely photo on the cover. This was also the large featured photo inside her Accordion Album.

 This is Ashlynne–sweet, bubbly, and fun to be around!

Senior sessions are so much creative fun, I’m always daydreaming about the next one…..

It’s been a long time since I’ve shared some of my recent nature photography. This is another exceptionally long post as I have included not only several favorites from this summer, but also a few from seasons past that I haven’t shared here before. Shooting nature is definitely one of my greatest joys–a treat to myself to carve out time to go for a stroll with my camera.

Below, a closer look at the liatris (above, left)–pretty good spot for a praying mantis to hideout!

My Mom’s arbor and clematis:

Glads make such a gorgeous bouquet!

Another one of my favorites–hydrangeas! I plan to have plenty of these at my next house! : )

Every time I leave Mom’s in the evening, my eyes turn to this tree with the sunlight filtering through it–love it!

Another thing will have at my new house–a big plat of colorful zinnias in every hue!

Here are a few photos from our recent trip to good ol’ Lake Michigan.
While everyone else runs down a dune, I stop to take in the view and take photos, too!

The view at the top of a dune overlooking Lake Michigan is always breathtaking, as evidenced in this note etched into a dead tree.

Adrian marches to the beat of her own drum. Unlike most babies her age, she doesn’t run away from the camera–she runs right to it–and wraps
her little arms around you. I was in heaven, really.

Naturally, she’s adored x 2!Having a very outgoing, charismatic personality, Adrian is a girl of many expressions. That always makes my day!

Adrian is the daughter of not one, but TWO firefighters–both Mom and Dad have served the town of Ferdinand for many years!

And we wrapped up our session with a cake smash. Adrian’s momma, Laura, made this perfect little cake herself!

And a little dip in the tub!

 What a gorgeous little girl! How lucky her momma & daddy are to come home to hugs from her every day!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here on the blog as I’ve been very busy shooting, proofing, and placing orders. (However, I frequently share session photo favorites on facebook!) After preparing Sarah’s order, I wanted to take a few moments to put together a post of favorite photos from her gorgeous session. While shooting with Sarah and her Mom and proofing her senior pictures, two words came to mind over and over: natural beauty. This girl has it!

I absolutely love working with high school senior girls to create unique images that reflect them and their personality. And I love working with my seniors’ Moms, too! More senior sessions coming to the blog soon!

Also new for the Class of 2013 is a two-day, split session option for Seniors that want more photos, more locations, or even different hair styles!

 And, while I’m posting about the new Senior collection and 2-day session option, I thought I’d also share some photos of a couple
other senior favorites! All collections, with the exception of Keepsake, include a graphic-designed 4×8 Accordion Album featuring
approximately 10-12 of your favorite session images.

And, custom Graduation Announcements always get rave reviews!

I can’t resist a baby in a tie. : )He’s a mover and a shaker!

And, it wouldn’t be a Lacey Reimann Photography session without a beautiful outdoor backdrop! 

 Here is Case’s big sister at the same age, in the same basket, a little over 3 years ago. They look so different!

This last photo was by special request of Case’s daddy. It’s no secret that I’m not a camo fan, but if anyone wears it well, it’s this cute guy!

My sister’s wedding day rushed by in the blink of an eye. As her matron of honor, I was busy all day–starting with the 5k fun run, back to her home to shower, then off to our hair & makeup appointment, which left us maybe an hour at the venue to quickly dress and cover any last-minute prep. It was far too frenzied, but I’m grateful to have had 5-10 minutes with Leah right before the ceremony and then a few quick minutes post ceremony to capture a few images for myself. As a photographer, it was truthfully a bit agonizing to not have the time and creative liberty to capture the images I wished. Here are a few favorites from the limited set of images I captured that afternoon. As a wedding present, Leah and Tito will be receiving many images from his sister, Amanda, and her husband, Felix, who covered the entire evening, right up to the couple riding off on their bicycle built for two! I can’t wait to see all the gorgeous images the two of them captured!

Leah’s Nicole Miller dress is obviously PERFECT for her! Funny back story: we were in the dressing room and had already tried on 3 or 4 contenders when we got to the last dress hanging. I took one look at it and said, “Do we even have to try this one on?!” I’m glad she insisted. THIS was the ONE!  : )  Yes, I make a better photographer than I do a matron of honor.

 My talented friend, Mindy Wiseman, did the bouquets and boutonnieres. If you’re in the Louisville or Southern Indiana area, look her up!

Photo on right, below: A completely spontaneous moment and thus the technical shortcomings.
I chose to capture (and share) the moment and overlook the technical imperfections.

And lastly, my spot. I was already trying to stifle my frustration over not having any creative liberties or time to photograph my beautiful sister
and the love of her life. So, when they were ready to join their family and friends for their reception, I begged for just ONE photo op.
As far as I’m concerned, the resulting images below were worth it.
Another funny note–as my husband and I looked through the wedding photos, he commented that “Tito always has this cool look” and
made a reference to James Bond. Then this past weekend, he tried to pull off the Tito “cool look.” Didn’t work out, haha!

 Congratulations, my cherished sister. My eyes welled up as I just typed that. I hoped for many years that you’d find someone that
brought love and laughter to your every day. There isn’t a better-suited man out there. Tito, I’m glad you cherish my sister, too, and
share her interests and sense of humor. I love you both!!
