HS Senior: Danielle

I have known Danielle's family since she and her older sister Heather were just wee little dancers in Studio 149.  Here are the 2 of them one decade ago when we first met!

What an honor to do her senior pictures and gain witness to the amazing young woman she has become!  May the great and beautiful words of St. Teresa of Avila bring you hope and courage as you continue your journey into womanhood...."Let nothing disturb you.  Let nothing frighten you.  All things are passing.  God alone is changeless.  He who has patience wants for nothing.  He who has God has all things.  God alone suffices."

Bridal Portraits at The Historic Embassy Theatre

Angie put a lot of thought and energy into finding just the perfect spot for her Bridal Portrait Session.  The bride-to-be chose none other than The Historic Embassy Theatre.  Her fabulous wedding gown is from The Perfect Dress in Fort Wayne.  Wow!  Angie looks radiant and angelic!  What an amazing setting!

Btw, I also had the honor of photographing Angie and her groom-to-be Jon downtown Fort Wayne for their Engagement Portrait Session.

Be watching the blog next week for a sneak peek of Angie and Jon's wedding photos!  : )

Studio 149 Dance

Studio 149 is a Not-For-Profit Ballet School that serves the Fort Wayne Community, surrounding cities, and Ohio.  By providing dance education that is modern in approach, classical in technique, age appropriate and always family safe, their teachers uphold their positions as Christian role models and respect each child as a unique and beautiful gift from God.

I have had the honor of working with Studio 149 and its founder Tricia Graf since it's launch ten years ago. It has been so exciting to watch the girls grow and mature both as talented dancers and beautiful young women.

Studio 149 is a family of believers raising technically trained artists that share the Gospel through the awe inspiring gift of dance through a partner ministry with Promise Lutheran Church. I think one of the many reasons Studio 149 has been so appealing to Fort Wayne's young dancers and their families is that through community support, remarkable volunteers, faculty, and their Board of Directors, they are able to keep prices low and offer scholarships for those who are in need. Students have many opportunities to perform in Ballet's, such as Peter and the Wolf, as well as worship services and showcases.

For more information on how you can be a part of, and support, this thriving ministry please visit them online at studio149dance.com. Also -- tickets are now on sale for their fabulous showcase, entitled Seasons of Life, and summer registration is on it's way! In the words of Psalm 149, "Praise the Lord with dance!"

Churubusco High School Senior: Haley

Haley is a senior at Churubusco High School, just about ready to graduate with the Class of 2011.  The year has totally flown by!  When she's not playing volleyball, you can probably catch her hanging out with her friends.  Haley was so much fun to work with brought such a great variety of outfits for her Senior Portrait Photo Session and we took advantage of a ton of random Busco buildings for our backdrops.

Brandon, Cat and the Whole Fam

It had to be the warmest Indiana December day I've EVER shot outside...New Year's Eve and we were outside without coats on (seriously, it was 60 degrees!).  Downtown was hopping with weddings so we had to be flexible in our hunt for the perfect spot to shoot.  I think we found a perfect spot!

By the way, I also had the pleasure of photographing Brandon and Cat's growing family in November 2009 as well.
