Such a fun day photographing this beautiful girl & incredible athlete! Munster soccer wouldn't be the same without you!! You are gorgeous inside and out!!!

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Bridget Warner's boxing & personal training class. She works through the Hammond Boxing Club in Hammond Indiana. Here are a few shots from our shoot. A big thank you to Jules, Marisa, Emily, & Debbie! You girls are bad ass babes! 

As I walked up the driveway when I went to meet with Gabby, I saw this great lime green VW Bug sitting pretty. After we planned her wardrobe for the shoot, I inquired about the car in the driveway. When I found out it was Gabby's, I asked if we could include it in her shoot. After all, the dress and necklace was a perfect match! Graciously, her dad & brother offered to run it through the car wash while we started our shoot and then delivered it to us all clean & shiny. It was the perfect accessory for a senior shoot! Gaby has so many different and great looks, she rocked every one of them!

Halloween is the best holiday for creative people. Szacharias Artistry & MaryAnn Newell Photography got together for our first ever themed photo shoot. We drafted her sister Samantha, my daughter Natalie, and my sidekick Angela for a spook filled afternoon. Shoshana planned out the characters & their make-up, and we all collaborated on outfits & location. After my car was packed and everyone was ready, we headed out to an old cemetery in Hammond, Indiana. At first it was really weird, but after awhile when the creative juices started flowing, I actually think the spirits around us were guiding our creativity. Maybe we were amongst former artists????  Hope you enjoy our video! :)

Senior photo shoots are always filled with adventure. I love taking people to the most obscure locations. Sometimes I see a confused look on their face as I know they are wondering, what are we doing here? When they see the photos they smile with amazement and usually comment on how cool it looks in camera. On this beautiful August afternoon, I photographed Gabie. Her makeup was done by Shoshana of Szacharias Artistry and she looked just as flawless in person as in her photos. If you haven't heard of Shoshana, look her up on Instagram (szacharias_artistry) to see all of her beautiful work. 

Here are just a few shots from our fantastic shoot together!  Don't forget to follow me on Instagram @newellfoto & Facebook-MaryAnn Newell Photography!
