Keira! Indianapolis, Indiana Fountain Square Shoot

“Have you ever seen a little girl run so fast she falls down?  There’s an instant, a fraction of a second before the world catches hold of her again… A moment when she’s outrun every doubt and fear she’s ever had about herself and she flies.  In that one moment, every little girl flies.  I need to ifnd that again.  Like taking a car out into the desert to see how fast it can go, I need to find the edge of me… And maybe, if I fly far enough, I’ll be able to turn around and look at the world…  And see where I belong.” ~Kelly Sue DeConnick

So the previous post shows the GIF Ashley shot for me down in Fountain Square, and when I was brainstorming my ‘hey! I’m in Indy’-post, I knew I couldn’t JUST head down there with Ashley and only plan on shooting me/buildings, so I invited Keira along!

Keira’s awesome.  She does some sort of science at Lilly, loves animals, runs, has fabulous-off-beat-creative style and does crazy circus stuff.  So I thought, she’s going to be the perfect person to invite to just play around in Fountain Square.

And she was.

I don’t usually take out my flash during the day, because I like natural lighting, and I’m a minimalist when it comes to shoots [especially weddings! aint no body got time for that!].  But since we were playing, I thought, why not take it out and see what we get?!

And I LOVE her little mini shoot!

These are my two favorite images, and I’m sort of proud of them.  The image below shows the Indy skyline [it’s so lovely!], and the image above is a bit of an experimental/non-traditional portrait shot, that I am sort of obsessed with.

I love that Ashley, Stephanie and I are all in the same city now!  So excited to do more experimenting and artsy stuff with them!
