CNO Financial Services | building

This is my first attempt at actually shooting buildings. I tend to shoot people because buildings aren't quirky and don't make me laugh... but this wasn't so bad. It was a lovely day... and the clouds were more than cooperative!

You can take $50 off of the family rate and $100 off the senior photo rate ($200 off of the wedding rate)... it doesn't get any better than that!

Fall is the perfect time to do senior photos and holiday cards... why not get it on your calendar now?

The new site is up- mollyconnor.com. Go to the NEW SITE and then email or call me before the end of July to get on the calendar and save yourself a little dough. Don't forget... the shoot can be any time before the end of the year... just get it booked NOW!

the other side of the camera | deirdre + sean

Some wedding photos from Chicago-based Christine Otte (www.christineotte.com).


megan + ryan | engagement shoot.

A few teaser photos from my engagement session with Megan and Ryan tonight... can't wait for their wedding this fall. More photos to follow!












brandi carlile + the indianapolis symphony orchestra.

I was so excited to see Brandi Carlile on Friday night perform with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. She is one of my all time favorites... and it was absolutely amazing. If you ever get a chance to see one of your favs with a symphony, do it. Here is one of the girls... please disregard the wine I spilled down the front of my dress :).


While I couldn't find any video, from Friday night's particular performance on youtube, here she is singing the song you'd know (if you only knew one) with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Just amazing.

The Story:


And my favorite cover that she does... we were lucky enough to hear her sing this one live. Love that this is in b+w.
Folsom Prison Blues:


And a few other gems for you...
I Will:


Caroline:


Dreams:


And as a super-duper rockstar bonus... I found this cover when I was looking for video. Oh my god, I love this song. I just heard Ingrid Michaelson cover it at the Vogue, but this puts that to shame (no offense, Ingrid).
Creep:

claire | 9 months.

I heart Claire. This was our second shoot together and I think she is just darling. Her little personality just cracks me up... and I just love taking photos of her (her parents are pretty swell, too). I had such a hard time choosing photos to post... so rest assured there are many more adorable photos where these came from!
















aly + rob | the wedding.

I helped shoot a fantastic wedding tonight... I just absolutely adore this girl's style. Just wanted to share these two images...

This one of just Aly is one of my all-time favorite photos.


And they're off to Happily Ever After... or Las Vegas.


Thanks, Pete...

cousins camp.

This week, I was invited to the Treado's house for cousin's camp... these kids were just great. Here are just a few photos from my time there, in no particular order...






















the pretty indy soirée | www.prettyindy.com

Thursday night, the gals from Pretty Indy allowed me to come take photos of their second Pretty Indy event at Usual Suspects in Broadripple.

Their tagline is: Your go-to guide for beauty + style. And they're right on point. These girls are not only lovely... but they have their fingers on the pulse of all things stylish and awesome in Indy. If you don't follow them on Facebook or Twitter you should (links below). Here are just a few images from their soirée.

Tiffany and Kelly, the Pretty Indy girls, entertaining their guests.

Prizes, prizes and more prizes were given away.


Delicious eats from our friends at Usual Suspects.

What's in the Pretty Indy Cocktail, you ask?
Sofia Copolla champagne, pomegranate vodka and a splash of cranberry! Amazing.

tess | my girl

This is Tess. She is itty-bitty and awesome... and she was four days old when I took these. She belongs to my girlfriend, Molly. I love them both.














So beautiful...


P.S. I told Molly + Neal that this is a preview of Tess after her prom.
