{Inspiration} | Northwest Indiana Child Photographer

I took my niece Kylee out for a photo shoot a couple of weeks ago, and below are the resulting images.  Lately, I’ve been finding inspiration everywhere.  The inspiration for this session was the dress she is wearing.  I found it, and knew instantly it was meant for KyKy and my camera.  She informed me when I picked her up that night, that we hadn’t had a photo session since 2008.  This little one has inspired me since day 1, and I can’t believe I let so much time pass since photographing my little (not-so-little, gosh she is growing up!!) bug-a-boo. The high res version was too big to post online, so this is the icky web version.  The images look really blurry to me, so I’ve posted a few below so you can see the true clarity and color.  I adore the results, and am so glad I took the time to capture these images.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Pandora while I edit.  I’m finding so many great artists that I otherwise probably wouldn’t have heard about.  Below is a song that instantly captured my attention when I heard it.  I’m smitten with her voice, and how she channels the pain expressed in the lyrics with her tone.  I then found the video, and was so captivated and inspired by the gorgeous back lighting, sunflare, and vintage-y feel.  I would encourage you to just listen to the song first, and then watch the video official video here, (it was disabled for embedding, so below is an awesome live version).  They are both so beautiful.  And, the girl is beyond gorgeous!!  It’s like Angelina Jolie met Tori Amos.
