The Jamrok Family shoot in downtown Crown Point with stephanie nicole photography

If you haven't been able to tell yet, I am a huge lover of "unscripted" images.....the moments that happen between the clicks.   Everyone always expects to look directly at me so that is what they do...then the minute they think I am done, they relax and that is when the real magic happens.  The Jamrok family is a prime example of this.  I had such a great time working with Marcy, Steve and their three fabulous kiddos in downtown Crown Point.  What an incredibly loving family!!!  I love that each of these images has a little story to tell....but I must say that the one that makes me giggle quite a bit is the third photo...check out the kids' facial expressions....priceless!!!  (especially the youngest one's - she is so over it!)

Thanks for a fun afternoon, Jamrok family....can't wait until next time!!

The Shank Family Shoot in downtown Oak Park, IL with stephanie nicole photography

Have I mentioned lately just how much I love what I do??  Getting to work with so many great families...especially around the Holidays just puts a huge smile on my face.  Working with the Shank family was so much fun!  Dana, Dave, Sam and Susie live in Oak Park, IL...a great little town just outside of Chicago - a must see if you are ever up in the area!  The goal was to get a good photo of Sam and Susie to be used for the annual Christmas card....well....I do believe we achieved that and got a few bonus images of the whole family as well!

  

The Spoerle Family shoot with stephanie nicole photography

The fabulous Spoerle family....I have had such fun getting to know this great family over the last few years....working with Kurt and his team at Talk to Tucker and shooting Phil's senior session....they are all full of love and life, that is for certain!  Add in the fact that they are just beautiful...all of their smiles are infectious and genuine....they all have a way of making you feel comfortable the minute you meet them!  Kurt and Vickie have done a tremendous job raising Ella, Sam and Phil....this family is a fantastic representation of unconditional love, faith and a whole lot of fun!

I had a blast doing their family shoot for them over Thanksgiving weekend...you can't even tell that it was about 20 degrees outside during this shoot - they were all such great troopers!!!  

Thanks for your trust Spoerle family - I look forward to working with you for many years to come!!

Katie and John's Zionsville Wedding with stephanie nicole photography

A little rain didn't stop this loving couple from enjoying their romantic, intimate wedding on November 3rd!  It was a true privilege to be a part of Katie and John's wedding day for two reasons....first - they are just the sweetest couple ever, and second...Katie's dad was the minister at my church during my high school years....and he left quite an impact on me.  It meant the world to me that they asked me to photograph their special day.   I also loved that Glenn (Katie's dad) performed the ceremony in the very church he started so many years ago.  (Zionsville Presbyterian Church)

A very heartfelt congratulations to Katie and John....I know your married life will be richly blessed beyond measure.

Anna's Senior Session with stephanie nicole photography

Ahh...the oh-so-lovely Anna....talk about a beautiful young lady!!  I had a blast working with her on her senior session....and we even got some bonus images of her and her sisters together....and their mom too!!

Clearly Anna is a natural in front of the camera - I could have photographed her all day long!  Her infectious smile and fabulous sense of humor made our afternoon together so much fun!

Congratulations on the start of your senior year Anna....I know you're going to take the world by storm....you have such amazing things ahead of you!

Ben and Annaliesa's Omni Severin, Downtown Indianapoilis Wedding with stephanie nicole photography

Ben and Annaliesa were married in early August at the beautiful Omni Severin Hotel in downtown Indianapolis.  Once again, my partner, Curt Littlecott from our sister studio in Orlando, came up to shoot this heart-warming wedding day for this very special couple.   There were so many hugs and loving moments...something I absolutely love....real emotion at its best!

Congratulations Ben and Annaliesa - we wish you much love and happiness in your married life together - thank you for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day team!

 

 

Becca and Andy's Indiana Roof Wedding with stephanie nicole photography and nu visions in photography

A very heartfelt congratulations to Becca and Andy on their beautiful marriage!  What a fantastic couple to work with on my first day back from being on maternity leave!  They sure did make our jobs easy!  My partner, Curt Littlecott from our "sister" studio (nu visions in photography) in Orlando,  flew up here to Indy to shoot this fabulous wedding day with me and we had a blast!   

The Indiana Roof Ballroom was stunning.....such beautiful architecture and lighting....and we loved the fact that Becca and Andy wanted to go to the old "smoke stack" building for photos....there's nothing like mixing the beauty of a bride with an old brick building!

Thanks so much for your trust Becca and Andy - you are a beautiful couple inside and out and we couldn't be happier for you!
