This next family was just a joy to photograph!  Their smiles and laughs the direct result of their togetherness as a family, and it made my job so much fun and oh so easy!  Bruce and Ginger are two kind-hearted souls, proud parents of lovely Marissa and handsome Nathanael.  And their pup!  Oh, how I just adored their beloved dog, Henry!  His bark is one that says, “Please pet me!  I’ll be your friend forever!”  So that’s what I did!  And as you’ll see toward the end of this post, it paid off!  I was all the more excited to deliver their images to the family and to Henry, and he was happy too!  Even Remington had the honor of meeting Henry, and he giggled as Henry showered him with sweet doggy kisses while wagging his long tail!  We had a delightful summer evening for some portraits! Let’s see a few of my favorites, shall we?

I adore this portrait of Bruce and Ginger!  

These two thought I was joking when I asked them to stand together…some of my favorite sibling portraits!  I think it’s safe to say their whole family will love these!  And it’s my hope that Marissa and Nathanael will too!  You two are adorable!  

They have their serious side too.  ðŸ˜‰

Marissa, you are so pretty! 

Nathanael had only one request, which was to have a photo with this fantastic textured barn.  I was happy to oblige!  Love these!

Did I mention that we had lovely light?  Well, we certainly did!


See what I mean?!  I was just melting during this session, not because it was hot… because of this.  
I merely asked them to go sit on the swing.

And then Henry joined us and does just what dogs know how to do best.  Make us smile, make us laugh, make us love them almost as much as they love us.  

I think I was pretty much giddy during this portion of the session.  I mean, just look at that face!!!

Henry!!!

Such a fun evening!  Thank you so much for sharing it with me, B + G + M + N + H!!!
Can’t wait to see you all again!  
Remington sends hugs to Henry!  ðŸ˜‰

It is always such an honor when clients refer their friends to me!  It means that I get the chance to meet and get to know even more wonderful people, because my clients are wonderful people themselves!  And this next family is no exception!  Please give a warm welcome to Brian, Caitlin, Aislinn, and Aaron!  We met on a perfect summer evening for family portraits around the adorable town of Zionsville!  We had bright sunshine and lots of smiles and laughs!  This bunch is full of energy, loves playing together as a family, visiting the zoo, and is always on the go!  Miss Aislinn is a sweet and spirited 4-year old.  She loves the color pink, Stitch, princesses, and her family!  And, as I told her Mom, something about her reminds me of a young Meg Ryan!  Her baby brother, Aaron, was one day shy of his 1st birthday!  Happy Birthday, Aaron!!!  He has big blue eyes that melt your heart!  He loves to crawl and explore his surroundings!  Such a cutie!!!  I could go on and on, however, I’d love to just show you what I’m talking about with this fun family!

Miss Aislinn!  You are such a cutie pie!

Daddy’s little girl!!!

Aaron just couldn’t wait to give his Mommy some kisses!

I love capturing those sweet moments no one ever wants to forget… like little kisses on the nose!

I adore this series of Caitlin and her baby boy!

Hi there, Aaron!

Caitlin has been taking monthly photos of adorable Aaron in his Mickey Mouse hat, so it was only fitting that we get his 12 month photo for the books!  ðŸ˜‰
And don’t you just love those sweet little baby toes!!!

Brian and Caitlin, you guys are a perfect pair.  I love this one of the two of you!

And I’m so glad we were able to get some portraits of the two of you!  Your kiddos will love seeing these as they grow up!  

Brian, Caitlin, Aislinn, and Aaron, thank you all so much for sharing your evening with me!  
You guys are beyond adorable and so easy-going!  
Aaron, I hope you had a fantastic 1st Birthday filled with cake and kisses and balloons! 
Miss Aislinn, keep being a great big sister!  
Can’t wait to see you all again soon!  

Zionsville Family Session | Brian + Caitlin + Aislinn + Aaron

This next sweet session was full of gorgeous sunshine, smiles, and searching for butterflies in a colorful secret garden!  And the family was even sweeter, with the two most adorable sisters, Ava and Audrey.  I had the honor of photographing Audrey when she was just 5 days new!  They are excited about the arrival of their newest family member in just a few short weeks!  We spent the warm summer morning getting some portraits that I can’t wait to share!  So excited for your family, Jason and Jessica!  Ava and Audrey will be the best big sisters!!!  And now for some of my many favorites!

Say hello to these two cuties!!!  Audrey, 2, and her big sister, Ava, 4!
Lovelovelove both of these!

Seriously adorable, Miss Audrey!

Ava was so excited to be in front of the camera!  Love her smile!

Sisters!!! 

Jessica, you are beautiful! 

These girls adore their parents!  Love both of these!

Ava and Audrey helped me get some portraits of their Mommy and Daddy!  ðŸ˜‰

We ventured to a beautiful garden in search of some butterflies…we did spot a few fluttering about!

Ava suggested they put on their own butterfly wings to attract more butterflies!
I love this series of them in their sparkly wings!

J + J, you are the cutest!  

Stunning, glowing, radiant Momma-to-be!

Little Audrey wasn’t feeling too well during our warm and humid session, suffering from a summer cold, and this next image just melted my heart!  Daddy’s little girl!  

So sweet!


Jason, Jessica, Ava, and Audrey, thank you so much for sharing your morning with me!  You guys are such a fun and easy-going family, a true joy to photograph!  So excited to meet your newest addition in the coming weeks!  Your new little one just could not ask for a more loving and lively family!  Congratulations!!!

Earlier this Spring, we learned that we’d be expecting a new addition to our family!  We let Remington in on the news right away, because we know that with a new baby comes some big changes and periods of adjustment.  Santa Claus will be pretty busy this season… Our due date is 12/25/15!  We had a perfect summer night to capture this exciting time!  On Monday, we found out if we’ll be decorating the nursery with pink or blue!  Keep reading! 😉

My handsome guys!

Reggie captured some of the sweetest photos that I will always cherish!  Remington has been giving hugs and kisses to the baby since finding out he’ll be a big brother.  And it just melts my heart!

Remington’s favorite cuddly friend had to come along… Hi Goldie!

Drumroll, please!  It’s a BOY!!!

I told Remington I had some surprises in store for him during our session.  Confetti!!!
And by the looks of the image on the right, he’s going to be a great big brother!  Poor Goldie was getting covered in blue confetti! 😉

Then it was time for blue silly string!  Once he got the hang of pressing the button, he was unstoppable!

Yay for boys!  We’re so excited that Remington will have a little brother!  He’ll be able to share all of his cars, trucks, and trains with him! 😉  We truly feel blessed and can’t wait to meet the little guy!
Thank you to Reggie and my parents for helping with this special session, and for cleaning up all of the confetti and silly string!  Love you all to pieces!

Stewart Baby #2 | Pink or Blue?

Six years ago, they danced for the first time as husband and wife in historic Fountain Square as family and friends watched them, listening to a song that quickly became a favorite of mine too.  Lucky.  And that’s how I felt having this sweet couple and their beautiful daughter, Megan, in front of my camera again.

Matt’s “instant crush” on Liliana turned into something so special and so very beautiful.  Their connection is palpable, fun-loving, and oh so sweet to witness!  You’ll see for yourselves in just a minute!

When Liliana contacted me about photographing their anniversary, I was beyond thrilled! Liliana planned every detail of their bohemian styled anniversary, including making their adorable teepee herself!  (And she later gifted it to me as we said our goodbyes!) We started at their home with some family photos and some photos to remember their home.  The home they shared as newlyweds.  The home they brought their sweet daughter to when she was born and grew into the adorable little lady she is now.  It was a  bittersweet shoot… After all, this couple’s wedding was my very first on my own, and I still remember the feeling I that day and long after arriving home, both exhausted and exhilarated in the best possible way, at having the honor of capturing their special day.  A few days after our session, this warm and genuine family moved to sunny Arizona.  I’ve always wanted to see the desert, so maybe we’ll have to plan another anniversary session soon!  Before I get any more sappy, I am excited and honored to share some of my many, many favorites from our fun evening!  Happy Anniversary, Liliana and Matt!!!

You two!!!  So adorable

Gorgeous bohemian princess, Megan!
And ohhhh, what magical light we had!!!  So dreamy!!!

Love this!

As beautiful as ever, Liliana!

The best smile, plus feather earrings and leather cuff!

And the most adorable fringe booties ever!

My favorite moments were these sweet and beautiful ones between Megan and her parents.  Gahhh!

A favorite, I love everything about this!

You two are perfection.  

Matt, Liliana, and Megan, I could have photographed you all night!  Thank you so much for the honor of documenting this season of your lives, for celebrating your love and your family, especially in such a fun and unique way!  Oh Megan, what a playful, joyful, adorable sweetheart you are!  Your smiles and laughter make your Mommy and Daddy light up more than you know!  
Wishing you all the very best as you settle in Arizona!  
Can’t wait to plan a desert session! 😉
