Class of 2014: Delanie

Delanie is a senior at Concordia Lutheran High School.  I just love her description of herself...driven, polite, careful, excited and quiet.  What a great balance!  She should've said GORGEOUS too but she's way too humble to say that!  :)

Delanie was one of the lucky participants in our Fall Senior Picture Event on the second weekend of October.  Her flawless makeup was done by the amazing makeup artist Erin Nay and her perfectly romantic locks were created by hair stylist Amber Rodriguez at Profiles Salon.

Enjoy this sneak preview of some of my favorite images from her portrait session!

Jami + Tim {Married in Berne, Indiana}

Jami and Tim's wedding was the first time I had the opportunity to travel to Berne, Indiana.  Now, unlike most of my friends in Fort Wayne (including my amazing husband), I was not born and raised in Fort Wayne.  So I love traveling to and exploring all of the little towns surrounding the "big" city of Fort Wayne.  :)

Jami, Tim and I had tons of fun taking photographic advantage of the gorgeous Berne clocktower and the fields surrounding the church.  We even stopped by their new historical home to capture some sentimental moments.  God bless you two!

I Do: Erin + Jordan's Wedding Previews

Erin and Jordan, your wedding day was so intimate and beautiful!  I was so honored to document your first day together as man and wife.  May God bless your future together!
                                                 ~ Lesa

The gorgeous day started in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with the girls getting ready at Erin's home.  Her vintage-looking romantically dainty wedding dress and adorable shoes were a perfect match to her classy yet carefree style.  No one would have ever guessed that her outdoor ceremony in mid October would be blessed with amazing blue skies and nearly 80 degree temperatures.

"Get Clicking Outdoors" - Our Newest DSLR Workshop

If you have a DSLR that you have been longing to put to better use, then you will definitely want to join me (Shadowlands Photography Owner/Photographer Lesa D. Van Meter) for my newest DSLR photography workshop -- "Get Clicking Outdoors".  Classes will be held outdoors at different locations every Thursday night in September from 6-7:30pm.

I have been a professional photographer for over ten years and am passionate about teaching fellow photography lovers and hobbyists to "get out of auto" and to "get it right in the camera" instead of being reliant upon post-processing software to create amazing images.

During the workshop, students will have hands-on experiences to gain knowledge of Camera Modes, ISO, F-stop/Aperture, White Balance, Shutter Speed, Natural Lighting, Lenses and more.  My curriculum for "Get Clicking Outdoors" is a result of fine tuning photography topics I have taught in years prior.  It's exciting, it's hands-on, and it meets the needs of DSLR users who are not yet using their equipment to its full potential!

Pre-registration and the $99 workshop fee are due by Wednesday, September 4, 2013.  In order to maintain an intimate Q&A environment, SPACES ARE LIMITED.

REGISTER NOW!

8x10's are Half Off Until Monday!

For the next 5 days, 8x10 Matte Prints are HALF OFF!

This is our most popular print size! Our professional quality high-end paper offers excellent skin tone reproduction and superb color image stability for long lasting prints.

No promo code is required during checkout to receive the discount.  Get shopping now at http://www.ShadowlandsPhotography.biz!

1st Year of Life: Healthier Moms & Babies

Earlier this month we had the privilege of photographing these adorable babies (ranging from 10 weeks old to 12 months old) as part of a pro bono photo session for Healthier Moms and Babies in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  Shadowlands Photography has been working with this life-affirming and life-giving group since 2010 and we have loved every moment!
