A few weeks ago I decided that I wanted to start a blog series showcasing local businesses here in the Indy area whose owners have a unique level of dedication and fun in running their organization. The first in this series comes from a restaurateur whose 5 previous locations are synonymous with college in Indiana. If you’re from Indy or have attended college at IU, Purdue, IUPUI, Butler, or Ball State recently, you’re probably already very familiar with Scotty’s Brewhouse. After following owner Scott Wise’s Twitter recently, I realized there would be a new, different Scotty’s coming to town…Scotty’s Lakehouse in Geist. Being a native Geist resident and long-time client of Scotty’s Brewhouse, I had to check this out. Read on for the rest of the story.
NOTE: Apologies for the photo quality. I know I’m a professional photographer, but I just had my camera with basic lens attached and didn’t want to cause a scene with a bunch of gear and flashes going off in a busy restaurant. If I’m able to work something out to get more commercial photos taken in the future, I will let you all know.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! They are much appreciated!
Congrats to the Indianapolis Colts! AFC champs and Miami-bound!
Special props to Collie and Garçon for outstanding plays. Definitely did not look like rookies today!
A little over a year ago, I had the opportunity to do my first wedding under Jon Brewer Photography and not through my previous employer. That wedding, of Kevin and Amy Eisert, would open the doors to an exciting 2009 with opportunities I had never imagined. Now, about 14 months later, I was able to reconnect with the couple and get some great engagement-style photos. The weather was pretty windy, which made walking around Holliday Park in Indianapolis a bit painful, but in the end, everything turned out nicely. Enjoy.
The past year has been an especially exciting one for me and for Jon Brewer Photography. I am wrapping up my first full calendar year of business on my own, and I am quite surprised at the tremendous pace JBP has grown. I’ve had the pleasure of capturing the merger of the Kaufmann and Snodgress families, the Smiths and Cox’s, the Farris’s and Sanders’, and the Stowe and Haltom families. I can’t wait to see your families years down the road, still filled with the love that I was able to capture on you first day as husbands and wives.
I’ve also had the pleasure of capturing the transformation of high school seniors into adulthood. It’s been a great experience this fall hearing from them about the ups and downs of freshman year of college and being reminded of my own experiences then. To Lacey Collip, Lindsay Hawkinson, Lindsay Kunkle, and Marybeth McShea, I wish you all the best in your years ahead at your respective schools. They are some of the best years of your life, so make the most of it.
And finally, to the models I’ve worked with in the past year that have helped me build on my favorite portion of my portfolio, fashion photography, thank you so very much. You are all stunning, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to working with you again soon.
With that said, I also have a lot of exciting plans for 2010. Ryan Backs and Christine Farris, Adam Waite and Carla Vaughan are both weddings that I have close personal ties with that I am very excited to see and capture (both in June!). Not to mention, I’ll also have the opportunity to photograph the wedding of longtime friends, Brian Scott and Cassy Egley, in September. I will also be taking a week-long excursion to south Texas in March with nothing but photography on my mind. Expect to see some great photos from that.
2010 proves to be an exciting year for Jon Brewer Photography. I look forward to all that is to come, and I hope you are just excited as I am for some amazing photos!
-Jon
