Fairs & Seniors -- two of my favorite things :)

Last year a young lady asked me about taking her Senior pictures at the Johnson County Fair.  After I had my panic moment of "how in the world am I going to pull a Senior session off with ALL those people around in the heat", I said, "SURE!".......Turned out to be some of my favorite photos I've ever taken!  It's almost fair time, so if you are a Senior (or know one), give me a shout & let's set up a date to take some pics!  I promise we'll have a good time (here's proof)........

Busy and Blessed!

I haven't posted on this blog for almost a year!  With Facebook, who needs a blog?!?!  I need to do a better job keeping this updated, too -- I know some people don't "do" FB.  My little hobby has really begun to take off.....I am so, so blessed!  I was fortunate enough to connect with a gorgeous family from Brazil, IN a couple of weeks ago, and that has led to more interest in that area of the state.  In a few weeks I'll be going back there and hopefully getting in several shoots!  I am also booking for shoots in the metro area, so if you are interested, give me a shout -- I love taking photos & I love meeting & talking with new and old friends.  I'm always looking for new, fun places to take photos, so if you have any cool places that you'd like to tell me about, please do!  As always, you can find me on Facebook -- just search mdw.photography and you'll find me!  I hope your summer has started off fabulously and continues to be wonderful!  Hugs to you all!

Melissa -- Senior 2012

What a great night at the Johnson County Fair!  The heat didn't keep us from having fun!  Melissa is a beautiful young woman and I think her fun personality shows thru in a lot of these pics!  This is just a sneak peek....there will be LOTS more to come!

A New Life!

Meet Evelyn!  You saw the hospital previews last week, and this week I got to go spend some time with the whole family at their home!  Big brother is taking his role very seriously, and Mom & Dad are loving having a little girl in the house....

Know anyone looking for a drummer?

You all know that this blog is about me following my passion, right???  Well, recently I was asked to take pictures of a dear friend and HIS passion!  How could I pass that up???  Dean is a strong Christian who is looking to get back in a band.....if you know of a worship band or church that is looking for a drummer, let me know and I'll pass the info along!  He's really good -- I should know -- he started banging on those things as my head was underneath there! HA!

I was honored to meet this little one when she was just hours old!  Next week I will be going to her home for a more in depth photo shoot and I cannot wait!

Finally! A blog I understand -- kinda!

Most of you know that this summer has been very, very eventful for me!  My goal this summer was to follow my dream and my passion and start up a small photography business -- WOW!  The response and support from my friends and family has amazed me!  My next project is this blog!  School starts back on August 11th, so my goal is to have everything up and running before then.....once school starts I don't have nearly as much time as I do now :) 


So, bear with me as I get the blog up and running......and once again, come along for the ride.......
