I had the privileged of photographing my brother-in-law and his colleagues at Wilcox & Associates.  Wilcox & Associates is a Sandler Training Franchise located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They are committed to Sales Training, Management Training, Sales Consulting, Hiring Consulting, Pre-employment Testing and Sales Force Evaluations.  They are a group of forward thinking professionals dedicated to growing the bottom line of your business (who doesn’t want/need that?)  You may not be the right fit for them and equally, they may not be the right fit for you. What their team does is challenging, out of the box and thought provoking. What they do takes resources, specifically: time, effort, energy and investment of dollars. The only way to figure it out is to have a dialogue.  Check out Wilcox & Associates facebook page and help them get to their goal of 1,000 likes!

Our goal was to have Wilcox & Associates business portraits represent the work hard, play hard, out of the box thinking that they are known for.  We had a blast and the pictures are just proof.  The group business shots are some of my favorites and the individual head shots turned out great too.  Thank You Wilcox & Associates for the opportunity!  View their entire business professional portrait session here.

“I had never seen Carrie’s photography work before our company photo session.  She was recommended by someone that I trust.  I can say that upon seeing the finished work I will DEFINITELY be using her again.  Carrie has a great personality that she used effectively to get the shots she needed to make us look good.  I’m impressed with the quality and the artistry of the shots.  If you are thinking of using her, I highly recommend her!” – Jim Wilcox, Owner Wilcox & Associates

My Favorite Senior Portraits

What a way to kick off the 2015 senior portrait season!  This was my favorite senior portrait session I have ever done.  Sam’s unique, edgy style made for unique, edgy and beautiful pictures.  This session was packed with tons of variety from batman pictures, to outdoor portraits, pictures with her truck, and we finished up in the barn!  Sam was open minded and so easy to work with; she made my job easy!  It was sooo hard to pick my favorites so be sure to check out the entire senior portrait session.  Below are some of my favorite portraits from Sam’s session.

Check Out These Baby Blues

I can’t think of a better way to start off Mother’s Day weekend with anything other than a mother/son photo shoot.  6 month old Elliot must have known how much this portrait session meant to his mom, because he was a perfect angel!  Elliot’s eyes will make anyone melt; these baby blues are the highlight of his 6 month baby pictures.  Well his eyes and his love for soft blankies.  Other than visiting my mom and spending time with my kiddos, this baby boys picture session was the best part of my weekend.  What a beautiful display of a mothers love for her child!  Check out Elliot’s entire 6 month portrait session here.

Spring Family Portraits

natural light, portraits, family pictures, extended family portraits, Sheets Photography, Columbia City Photographer, Ft. Wayne Photographer

Spring has sprung…take a look for yourself!  This was my first outdoor family session of the year and it turned out beautifully.  This family is near and dear to me.  My husband coached the Sieger’s middle daughter in volleyball when she was maybe 12!  She has since graduated high school, college, and is married.   I have had the privilege of taking their family pictures at least 3 times, their daughters senior portraits and almost a wedding if it hadn’t been on the same day as my sisters!    It is always a joy to work with the Siegers and they hold a special place in my heart.

We couldn’t have asked for a better day for family portraits!  When I shoot an extended family portrait I always try to get each family break down as well as the individual children portraits.  Bottom line…any picture that the family wants I will get during the session.  Contact me today to schedule your next family portrait session!

The Face of Your Business

men's business portraits, business professional head shots, Columbia City Photographer, Fort Wayne Photographer, natural light head shots,

More and more professionals like dentists, chiropractors, attorneys, and real estate agents are using their image to market their company and/or practice.  There are many benefits to using portraits in your marketing campaign, however, if not done right portraits can give your business a bad “image”.

I recently did a business portrait session for my friend’s husband.  He is opening a chiropractic business and is using his image heavily in his marketing campaign.  ProActive Spine & Joint is located in Auburn and will be opening in June.  Dr. Brandon Galbraith will be performing general chiropractic work as well as sports related chiropractic needs.   It was important that we had some variety so Dr. Galbraith could use the portraits in a variety of mediums and appeal to different customers.  I chose to use natural light for the entire session and I think the images turned out beautifully or should I say handsomely :).  We needed business head shot portraits that could be used on a pull up banner, business cards, and print literature.  To cover the broad spectrum of possibilities that the portraits could be used I chose 3 different light techniques, 3 different outfits and several different poses.  Besides my husbands, 🙂 these are some of my favorite business head shots that I have taken.  Dr. Galbraith’s business portraits have such a fresh, clean, and…well professional feel.  Mission Accomplished!
