Erick & Brandy I Engagement

Through the great vine, I got connected with this soon to be bride and groom. Erick is a 2012 graduate from Anderson University and Brandy is a recent, 2012 graduate from the University of Dayton. Both were heavily involved in sports. Their paths crossed a couple of years ago and the rest is history. She now has the bling and they will be married in June of 2013. As a result, we got to spend some quality time together on a hot, Indiana day in June to take some fun photos to show off the fabulous couple they are. Take a look at our very sunny Indiana afternoon...

Speaking of weddings, wedding season is among us and I have a magnificent wedding that I will be shooting in less than a month. I am beyond excited! Check out a wedding from last September that I shot by clicking here. And check out the bride's review here. My heart is starting to flutter, in pure excitement, just thinking about what’s ahead!

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July holiday. I'll be seeing you.

AnnMarie I Portraits

To introduce the woman behind the red high heels ... Ms. AnnMarie

This girl is obsessed with a good high heel. Red high heels are a staple to any wardrobe. AnnMarie is a beautiful woman who is amazingly talented. To simply say she is an artist would not encompass her passion and abilities, no word can really. Her abilities, passion, love, diligence, creativity, and sheer brilliance can’t even cover who she is as an artist. AnnMarie is a new graduate and a new business owner. She has recently started Phos Design. She does anything graphic from wedding invitations to branding and then I should also mention, BUILD WEBSITES! That just blew your mind right!? She created her own website, Phos Design, from scratch and did it with style.

She is amazing to say the least. I have had the pleasure of working with her on the photo elements of her website. So here we are, a key element of Phos Design, the Designer, AnnMarie, herself! See her beauty for yourself!

Stunning right!? I know…and the red high heels just make it all complete. After our shoot, we were able to enjoy dinner in perfect fashion and talk about boring things like design and photography ;)

And she just so happens to be the one that will be creating my new webpage after branding for Kortni Marie Photography is complete! Something extra special to look forward too!

Gall Family I Portraits

Family togetherness just makes my heart melt. To see a family let their personalities shine through as a family is priceless. The stories that were told had me belly laughing until it hurt. There were times when  I was practically rolling on the ground in sheer laughter. That's a good photo shoot if you ask me!

To see a family in that element gives you a whole new take on life and how it exists beyond your own walls. Each family is unique in its own. At that, meet the Gall Family...

Shanna I Senior

I remember the day I walked into my dorm room on move in day my freshman year of college and the excitement that filled every inch of my body for what was ahead. That is the feeling I got when I met Shanna and we spent a couple of hours of just me and her walking around what would soon become her new stomping grounds, the campus of USF. I got butterflies just thinking about all of the new experiences and amazing new friends that will soon welcome her with open arms.

Just like any 18 year old high school senior, she is trying to figure out what her likes and dislikes are and put them into a career. I wish her all the very best in whatever degree she decides to graduate with. More than that, I hope and pray that she will remain true to herself and not change any detail of who she is for anyone or anything. College is a learning experience that trumps all.

Shanna is a beautiful girl inside and out and there is no doubt in my mind that her beauty will only continue to radiate as she continues to fall in love with the Lord and the woman He has made her to be. I wish you all the best, Shanna, and enjoy a ride that you will never forget with the people that will make it unforgettable.

You are beautiful my dear.
