Since Leslie and Josh are both Butler University Alum and huge Bulldogs fans, we began their engagement session on campus.  And since they plan to make Broad Ripple their home after tying the knot, it seemed fitting to take the rest of their pictures in their neighborhood (and mine!).

After April showers postponed our shoot several times, we finally got a glorious evening to do their shoot.  We ended up at their favorite ice cream place BRICS, which is right off the Monon.  If you haven’t tried it out yet, you should add it to your summer to-do list.

Tim and I are so excited to be part of their wedding downtown this fall at Union Station Grand Hall!

It is truly amazing that in the matter of just days, trees can go from bare, to blooming, to being covered with tiny leaves. This spring I feel like I’ve been more aware of the new life spring brings and how in awe it leaves me. For fun before dinner a few nights ago I went around our small yard and photographed the new life I saw.

I am at a loss for how exactly one of my daffodils migrated to the middle of a scrub. My sorority sisters will understand why I was pleased to see violets in my yard, even if Tim saw them as weeds.

I had a fun night going around Broad Ripple with Maureen and Mike. They live just across the street from me so it was fun to do a shoot around the neighborhood. I also loved that it was very them, Maureen has been in the area for several years and they are making their home here in Broad Ripple. They are getting married in October nearby at Christ the King. One of the things I love about Broad Ripple is how friendly everyone is and how great our neighbors are. Enjoy!

I love this little guy and how much of his parents I can see in him at only 4 months old! He has the best little expressions and they just cracked me up. (check out his eyebrows!) This baby is loved so well by his parents. They are good friends of ours and it’s been neat to see them transition into this new stage of life. On to his baby cuteness…

So the little cutie you saw on the blog last week had his official newborn shoot yesterday. Eli is one adorable baby, I’m so excited to watch him grow. Steph and Adam have already transitioned into parenthood pretty seamlessly. Adam was a big football player and had a special request to have Eli in his helmet. Surprisingly he just fit and really liked how snuggly it was.

An exciting update about my brother and sister in law, they are at the hospital right now. Everyone is hoping that their sweet baby girl will arrive by the end of the day!
