All the way from the rolling hills of Iowa (are there even hills in Iowa?) meet Cameron and Katie. They approached me with a very unique engagement shoot concept and BOY did we run with it! They are getting hitched the weekend of Halloween and i think these photographs are very suiting….You’ll see
…..
So….i have come to a realization. I, Kaitlyn Meeks, have created a staple. This realization came in two parts. The first was on saturday while photographing a wedding. I lined the groomsmen up in a neat little arrangement and yelled the two most stapleish words I could find…. LOOK UP! They all lifted their faces to the sky and wailed out in pain, as though the sky had sucker punched them in the eyeballs. Then, i realized something….this cry was far to familiar. EVERY TIME. EVERY SINGLE TIME I call out the words LOOK UP, the crowd wails. Clearly people don’t like staring into the sun as much as I would like them two.
The second part came today, while I was cleaning up my computer. I started exploring through photos past and realized how very often I use this exact same pose. GEEZ this could either be a super lame realization or something great. I have yet to decide which end of the scale it falls.
So, for future reference: Look out for me to yell LOOK UP because your lookers might be in pain, but i’m makin’ sure your lookin like a looker

These might be some familiar faces! You see, Matt and Lauren were the first wedding I ever photographed!! They sure put a lot of faith in my shaky hand. Two years later, and they are expecting a sweet baby (well we have yet to know if it will be sweet or not, but anything that is from these two has to be pretty great!) It has been such an honor to be able to document these grand moments in their life! And here’s a surprise…Lauren has asked me to document the delivery! I am so incredibly excited, and honored, and ecstatic (and nervous) and mostly pumped! Matt and Lauren thank you for being a breath of fresh air! ENJOY

Last week, I was given the opportunity to document the “behind the scenes” of the Under the Spotlight Fashion Show put on by a group of fashion students at Ball State University.

I don’t normally post many personal photographs on this blog, BUT for justifications sake, I think you will enjoy these. I spent 9 days in the sunny land of CALI-FORN-I-A. My good friend, Lisa Walker and I ventured to L.A to spend the week with a sweet girl named Lindsey. Half-way through the week another sweet girl showed up and lets just say…it was a girly week! I feel so refreshed after my trip out west, and although L.A. might not be the place for me, I wouldn’t trade the trip for ANYTHING!
While I was there I was able to visit with some old friends. In 2007 I spent a week at an Art Camp in Poland. A group of kids from California met us there, and I’ve still kept in contact with a handful of them. My first day there, Matt picked me up and we took the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) north to their suburb! We all met up at In-and-Out Burger (my first experience!) and then photographed in their town! It was such a sweet afternoon, and I’m so thankful I was able to see them all again…5 years later!
Lisa, thanks so much for being a great traveling pal! We made one heck of a team on the plane…and the dance floor! Sweet Lindsay, thank you so much for entertaining our mid-west butts all week long! We are so thankful for your hospitality! Kassandra, thanks so much for making me laugh like no bodies business! I’m so glad I met you girls!
