Welcome to a new photo project that follows the Musicians of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra at home during the COVID pandemic. I wanted to create photos of my friends in the Symphony to remind the public our ISO musicians have not performed onstage at Hilbert Circle Theatre since March 2020, and to relate the things they have been doing at home as they wait to perform for us again downtown. My goal is to inspire people to continue to support the musicians and orchestra through donations (Donation Page for the Musicians of the ISO Photo Project). I am also offering a portion of all sales of my photos and merchandise on this website to the musicians of the ISO. Please be sure to follow this blog to see each musician featured, and to follow the links to the gallery for more photos and options. If you'd like to book a photo session, please be sure to contact me, or use the Booking tab on the website.

In this together, Beckie

Amy Kniffen (ISO Acting Associate Principal Viola) and Tony Kniffen (ISO Principal Tuba), and their children, have been involved with many projects around their home during this past year. As Amy writes: "Our many covid projects included refinishing a sewing table that was gifted from a neighbor to support the sewing machine we were given by our "auntie", for the girls who were t
aught to sew by Anne Perry. Several other pieces of furniture were refinished, 20K pounds of dirt were moved, 3 stone walls were rebuilt, 5 trees were chopped into firewood, a parking space was paved with stone, the girls learned to Rollerblade and I Marie Kondo'd the house. The kids were wrangled, we hiked many state parks and watched a lot of movies."
