They’re all so well behaved and make the session a complete breeze. We mat at the Tippecanoe River State Park for family photos out by the cabins near trail 8. It’s definitely a new favorite spot.

While telling me about their proposal story they said, “At one point we were wiping tears from each other’s faces.” Jonathan had asked his mother to take Sedef and her mother out for a girls day while he setup candles, flowers, and got dinner ready. When they got to his mother’s house he was waiting, ready for a surprise proposal. Sedef was frozen in shock, and Jonathan was paralyzed by nerves.

I’ve known Alex and his family since he was just a little kid. Over my summers I used to babysit him and his sister many many years ago. But now he’s all grown up and graduating high school, and I’ve honestly never felt older than I do right now. This May, Alex will proudly walk across the stage, marking the end of an incredible high school journey.

Taylor & Zachary had a chilly summer wedding on a Friday at Jasper County Fairground in Rensselaer, Indiana. Taylor started her morning by getting ready with her closest friends and family in the community building at the fairgrounds while Evan did the same in the building nearby. Similarly to most of our couples this year, they chose not to do a first look, and so the first time they saw each other was when Taylor finally walked down the aisle to meet Zachary at the end. After their ceremony, Taylor whisked away to do something surprising and cut her hair! Taylor & Zachary continued to celebrated their marriage at their reception by eating good food, cutting a cake, and having a loving first dance together.

Jenna & Garrett met us at the Indiana Dunes State Park bright and early one Saturday morning. We got there as soon as the park opened in order to avoid all of the beach goers and enjoy a beautiful sunrise. At LVP Studios we offer photography, videography, and package bundles to all of our couples who are getting married. Some of our bundle and videography packages include an engagement video. This is a great time for us to get to know our couples a bit more, sit down and talk about their story, and learn about what brought them together. It also allows each of our couples the chance to get comfortable in front of the camera in the form of photos and video.

Trevor and I are so excited to announce the birth of our second baby boy. Forrest Allen Lang was born on December 8, 2023. We were at the hospital for a routine non-stress test, which I had been doing for a few months because of my gestational diabetes. I knew we would most likely wind up staying in the hospital because I had been having consistent contractions for a few days leading up to this, so Trevor and I packed our bags just in case. As the contractions progressed, the doctor determined we couldn’t leave, and Mr. Forrest was born that evening via planned c-section.

Judith & Diego have known each other since a young age because they grew up from nearby towns in Mexico. When they were both in High School, Diego became good friends with Judith’s brother. When he was around, Diego would try to talk to Judith but she didn’t think it was anything serious. He was persistent though and started to ask her out on dates. Judith told us, “Finally I went out with him in my senior year of high school. And after like 2 years of him trying to convince me, we started dating.” And now, they’re getting married!!

Why do photographers love a good sunrise or sunset moment? There are many reasons including lighting, stylistic options, and evenness of tones. Shadows are often better during a sunrise or sunset and placement of subjects (aka you, the client) can create glowing interest with rays of sunbeams in the background. In this post we’ll break down the difference between a sunrise and sunset session and why you should care.

This year was honestly our most fun year ever. It’s crazy how much we all grow year after year, but this was the year we felt like it was less about growing and more about enjoying. We truly loved every single wedding, session, milestone, etc., that we got to be a part of. As our business continues to help families and couples capture life’s important milestones with photos and videos we are continually reminded of why we do what we do. We love that we can be a part of memorializing each of our clients’ special days, but also that we can do this together as a family too. This is our first full season with a little one (now a toddler) at our side, and while the learning curve was steap, we were constantly made aware of our reason behind doing all of this. This blog post is dedicated to all of you who helped support our little growing family in 2022 and continued to give us hope for achieving our dreams.

Smiles like these can really just make your heart skip a beat, am I right? This is Skylar, and he turned ONE earlier last month. We were so excited to have him in the studio again after previously taking his 6mo pictures. The first year of life is so fun because your little one is learning so much so quickly. Whenever we have the opportunity to take multiple sessions of milestone pictures, we feel so blessed to be able to document their growth like this.

Katie and Stone are going to make the absolute best parents to their little baby girl. They’re counting the weeks leading up to her arrival, and you can already tell that she’s just so loved. We met for their session at Davis Ferry Park in Lafayette, Indiana. It was a beautiful summer day with an amazing sunset. I am obsessed with Katie’s green outfits that perfectly showed off her growing bump.

A wedding and reception at The Barn on 400 in Anderson, Indiana. The weather was perfect, everyone looked stunning, and the love these two shared was blanketed by the love their family and friends have for them too. They each got ready in their own bridal suites before heading out for an intimate first look at a nearby park, then they began their ceremony which was one of the most beautiful and heart-felt we have ever witnessed. Afterwards, of course, they danced the night away as husband and wife—this was Kayleigh & Aaron’s special day.

A morning spent getting ready with their favorite people, secretly hiding away not to ruin their special first look moment at Mill Creek Gardens in Winamac, followed by a rainy outdoor ceremony and umbrellas in the crowd, and finally finishing off the night with friends and family celebrating their first night together as husband and wife at The Knights of Columbus—this was Amber & Dalton’s special day.
