Joy’s House started with just a simple dream by a not-so-simple gal, Tina Prather, along with many that were passionate about the same dream. Her hope was to start a home-away-from-home daycare service for aging adults that were living with physical or mental challenges while being cared for by a family member.  Joy’s House was the answer for many caregivers that worked but also had a parent living with them.

We are such proud supporters of Joy’s House.  And, we are thrilled about their expansion.  We wanted to photograph some of the progress along the way as it gives many more families the opportunity to find quality care for their loved ones during the day.

Kelli and Sean did it!  They got married the day of the Indy 500 parade at the Scottish Rite which happens to be right along the parade route.  They, and Ashley of the Scottish Rite, deserve applause for pulling that one off seamlessly.

We met Kelli and Sean soon after they got engaged at sunset in Kauai and returned to Indiana to begin making plans for their wedding.  They are a sweet couple…up for anything.

After the ceremony, the part traveled to the Oak Hill Mansion.  Check back in a few days for their wedding album design.  Enjoy!

We had the fanastic opportunity to photograph the morning team from WLIT-Chicago 93.9 with Melissa Forman.  Melissa is the host on all weekday mornings from 5:30-9am.  Joining her in the images are Rob (NBC News), Gina (traffic), and Tony (producer).  It is quite a job to wake Chicagoans up daily…keep up the great work.  Enjoy!

Ashley and Cory are just as content in the city as they are the country.  They seem to be drawn to the lakeside in Chicago…running or sipping wine out of plastic cups.  But they just fit so well together, and you can sense they bring out the best in one another.

The day began for Ashley and her bridesmaids at the quaint NJS Salon in Zionsville.  Soon after Ashley and Cory met for the first time at Woodstock Country Club.  Even though it was raining off and on throughout the day you wouldn’t know it from these images. A band you can count on to rock the reception is First Impressions…this wedding was no exception.  And when you throw in delectables from Flying Cupcake…who isn’t going to enjoy their evening? The florals for the wedding, created by McNamara, reminded me how much I want to grow peonies.  Love them!
