Trash the Dress – Prom Edition
While throwing around ideas with Tabatha for her outdoorsy Senior Sessions it was quickly apparent she was up for something a bit different. I've been working with more and more cool clients that have been completely game to try something a bit different than my previous shoots, and I like it. From the responses to seeing their photos I'd say →
Matt’s Senior Session
I was pretty stoked while planning Matt's Senior Session that I heard he was in a band. I've been mixing audio for live, local music since the early days back in the Underground basement. Whenever I have extra crew to run things I'll grab a camera and head for the stage to photograph the energy of a live rock show. Meet →
Tabatha’s Senior Session
Here's a toss-up: pose by giant number cutouts that form your graduation year or go get some fresh air and shoot in YOUR natural environment? If the nursery themed photos are your look for high school graduation, read no further. Continuing my "off the beaten path" series from last week I decided to take different routes than the usual trails I →
Collaboration – BWW Poster Concept
Part 2 of our earlier collaboration project - Phil's finished designs. I merely supplied cameras and lighting, a little bit of arranging folks but the final edit far outshines the straight out of camera shots I left with Phil to begin his poster designs. I was excited to see how his ideas would transform the photos into his finished poster, and →
Collaboration – Behind the Scenes
At the end of March I packed up an SUV worth of lighting and photo gear and headed to Fort Wayne to join a friend and visual artist cohort for a day of throwing around ideas for a poster concept he'd been working on for his employers. Back during his 5-ish years as the Underground Cafe's resident DJ and lighting designer, →
Chris’ Senior Session
I started out last week with a lineup of shoots and the expectation of a little walking and fresh air while photographing some cool folks. I met Chris on Notre Dame University Campus and was pretty stoked he was up for a wander around campus without any pre-planned shots (read: make photographer think on his feet). We wandered away from Notre →

Geppetto & Son by Main Stage Inc.
Thursday I got out to see a family friend and her theater company perform Gepetto & Son at the Battell Center in Mishawaka, Indiana. The cast did a great job on opening night! I've always been fascinated by stage productions. The anticipation, split timing and single-take, no-redo LIVE production always seems to be my favorite. I love mixing and producing a →
Day of Rest
Sara saw the kids snuggling up for a nap and one of those sweet, quiet moments that go by way too fast. It didn't take me twice to think about grabbing a camera! Hope your Sunday is a restful, relaxing conclusion to the weekend! - Eric, Sara, napping Maddie & Adrian

Jake & Jessica’s Very Metal Engagement
Early this winter while working with friends Judah at Fourth Tribe concerts and Jake at the River Bank venue to plan spring concert productions, I got let in on a big secret: Jake planned on proposing at the show. (Insert wailing guitar here!) I gotta say he was looked pretty nervous while Armana Reign played and he waited to grab the →

We'll still gladly help put together a creative shoot for you - drop us a line! Ok end of disclaimer. -eB I'm pretty stoked to present one of the many creative things we've helped put →
Of old photos, less is more?
I'm enjoying the last weekend of March as the kids nap and Grandpa's 1950s Argus C-Four 35mm camera begs to be taken outside to shoot some film today. The musty smell of the old leather case and the metal camera that still bears his fingerprint smudges got me thinking. I'm editing through thousands of wedding photos from a recent shoot, preparing →
Jackie & Nick – Downtown South Bend Engagement

Spring colors in South Bend
Saw these spring colors waving in the breeze on what I'm claiming was the first spring Saturday of the year. And not a weekend too soon.
First Week of the New Year & Decade
The first week of the year and decade was, in a word, nonstop. Avalanche of snowfall in northern Indiana. Cabin fever. Car repair. More cabin fever. And lots of time with these two blue eyed kiddos. What better opportunity for a dad and photographer to spend time with and photograph two of his favorite people in the entire world? Madeline's eyes →

Of nostalgia and bulky metal cameras
(Fans and friends on Facebook have probably read bits about this project along the way... join the fun) Early last December a friend of mine posted photos of a classy Argus C-44R 35mm camera. Great 1950s design, shiny metal camera body, very clean looked like a fantastic find! It reminded me of a camera I had on a shelf, shutter not →

Thank you, veterans
I thought about it this morning, but I can't count the friends, former schoolmates, and acquaintances I know that have served in the armed forces in the last decade. More names keep coming to mind. You know who each of you are, and your service and sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for serving. The veteran closest to my family →
Thankful Thoughts – November 4th
This afternoon I'm thankful for a good laugh break from the home office when I wondered why Adrian was being so quiet. Came down the stairs and saw him sitting in Momma's recliner tinkering with her laptop. I'm also thankful his curiosity got the best of him and he was more interested in "typing" and wasn't throwing the laptop like →
