I was so excited to see this family again after such a fun session 2 years ago!  We had a beautiful autumn evening, and despite the chilly temps and wind, we had a blast!  I couldn’t believe how much Rowan and Marin had grown!  They had fun exploring and checking out a nearby park.  Rowan has perfected a great duck call – I think we had about 5 or 6 mallard ducks swimming around us at one point!  I loved seeing this family just enjoy some time together…being outdoors is one of their favorite things to do!  Let’s check out some of my favorites from their session!  Friends and family can view their entire online gallery here.

Favorite!  This was their sneak peek on Facebook.  
I love this one too… it is so great to see this brother and sister get along so well.  They are so sweet!
Lyndsay and Ben, you two are adorable.  Seriously. 

 Rowan recently got braces and didn’t mind showing them off!

Marin, you are so pretty.  So pretty!
I wish I could say that I tell the most hilarious jokes…however, that wouldn’t be quite accurate.  I don’t recall what was so funny, but I love the happiness and smiles when my clients laugh!  

I caught them watching their kiddos in the distance…love their smiles!

These next two are both favorites!

 I’ll end with this photo because I love the silly and sweet faces of those two adorable kiddos! 
Ben, Lyndsay, Rowan, and Marin, thank you for sharing your afternoon with me… and for being such troopers despite the windy, chilly day!  And I can’t to hang out with you again!  Until then, I’m going to practice my duck call!  ðŸ˜‰

The past 7 days has been a bit crazy!  I’ve been without a computer…which is bad because I’m wrapping up my busiest season with lots of editing and blogging to accomplish!  However, it was nice to have a bit of a break and to spend some quality snuggling time with my baby boy! I’m happy to say that my computer is back to normal, and I’m ready to play catch up!  I’m so excited to share this next family session!  You may remember the sweet little face, Harrison, who recently celebrated his 1st birthday!  Happy (belated!) 1st Birthday, Harrison!!!  I had the awesome opportunity to photograph Harrison’s family – his proud grandparents, Mike, Carol, Alan, and Judy – as well as his Aunt Sarah, Uncle Robb, and darling cousin Emma!  Sarah is expecting twin boys, so the holidays will be even more fun once they arrive!  Although it was a bit chilly, we had a beautiful fall afternoon to capture their family portraits!  Let’s get right to some of my favorites!  Friends and family can view their entire gallery here (COMING SOON!).

Look at that smile, Harrison!

Harrison loved walking through the crunchy leaves!

I just had to include the image I used as their Facebook sneak peek!  
Harrison, you are just adorable!

Such a strong little guy! 😉

Sooo cute!

Another favorite!  Valerie and Scott, I’m so glad we got a few images of just the two of you!

Valerie’s parents, Mike and Carol, just adore their little grandson!

Valerie’s sister, Sarah, her husband, Robb, and their sweet little Emma!
Emma, you are going to be a great big sister to your two baby brothers!

Emma was determined not to get any leaves on her pretty pink dress…she had an exciting evening ahead of her because her parents were taking her to see Princess Sophia!

Harrison brought along one of his favorite toys!  He cruised right through the leaves!

Scott’s parents, Judy and Alan, are all smiles around Harrison.  Harrison, you have such a sweet family!

Sarah and Robb found the perfect little path with amazing light and fall color!  

Emma, you are so pretty!

I just loved hearing her giggle!

Cousins!

Hi there, Harrison!

Another favorite!  

And our last few frames of their session ended up being some of my absolute favorites!

See what I mean?!  Looove!

Scott and Valerie, it was such a pleasure to meet your family on such a perfect day!  Harrison continues to get cuter and cuter, if that’s even possible, and I just love seeing the three of you as a family!  I adore you all!

This family has had one busy summer and fall!  They recently moved into a new home (congratulations!), had their maternity session, and then shortly thereafter welcomed baby Graham to their family!  Graham is just adorable!  He has a super cool big brother, Colin, who will show him the ropes and how to build space rover!  (You should have seen the Halloween costume that he and his dad made!  Seriously cool and creative, Colin!)  I had the honor of documenting them just a few days after returning home from the hospital.  Baby Graham slept for a few minutes of his session…he was just too curious as to what was going on around him!  He is a sweetheart!  Please enjoy some favorites from our morning!

So sweet!

Love these!
We used a few of the same vintage suitcases for Colin’s newborn session.  

Hello there, Graham!

Snuggling with Mommy!

Brothers and best friends!

Just look at those sweet little baby toes!!!

Colin has one of the coolest beds!
Yes, that is a slide from the top bunk down to the floor!  So fun!

Nick, Kristen, Colin, and Graham, thank you for sharing your morning with me!  What a sweet family you have!  Graham is one lucky little guy!  Congratulations to you!

We had a chilly afternoon, however, the light and colorful autumn leaves made up for it and then some!  It has been a few years since I last had this delightful family in front of my camera, and I was so excited to see them again!  And to meet Jacob’s little brother, Zachary!  At 7 and 3, they kept me on my toes with all of their energy!  Kyle and Amy adore their two handsome boys, and it’s so easy to see why!  Besides being just plain adorable, they are sweet, smiley, respectful, and full of joy and adventure.  Family and friends of this fine family can view their entire gallery here.  And now for some favorites from our day!

Such handsome boys!

Jacob and Zachary cheered on the sidelines as we got some photos of Mom and Dad! 

Love this!

Cutest brothers ever!

Zachary, you are just adorable!

Next, we headed to a nearby park to catch the last bit of daylight, and it was amazing!

As a Mom to a sweet little boy of my own, this next series just makes me melt!  

Amy, you are beautiful!

Another favorite!

You two are such wonderful parents.  And you make it look so easy!
P.S. I love this photo of the two of you. 

Just before the end of our session, Jacob and Zachary found this cool tree stump!

Kyle, Amy, Jacob, and Zachary, thank you so much for such a fun and energy-filled session!
Cant wait to see you all again soon!

We had a beautiful and breezy evening for one of my favorite family’s latest session.  They chose to explore the colorful and unique Fountain Square district near downtown Indianapolis.  Matt, Lindsay, Avery, and Piper are a super fun bunch, always smiling, laughing and up for a good time!  They are a tight-knit (not to mention stylish and quite adorable!) family, and it was so fun to see them interact and snuggle for photos.  I have quite a few favorites, so let’s get to them!  Friends and family can view their entire gallery here.

Right from the start, I knew we were in for a fun time!  Don’t you love their ensembles?

I always look forward to photographing these two sisters!  I can’t believe how much they’ve grown up since the last time they were in front of my camera!  Both of you are so beautiful!

Adorable Avery!  She’s in the third grade this year!

And little sis Piper is in kindergarten and loving it!

Another favorite!

Yessss!  Love both of these!

This door was intriguing to this pair…I think they both tried to open it to see what was inside! 😉

A favorite!  Piper, you are beyond cute!

Avery loves fashion and design.  I can totally see her with 
her own clothing and accessories line someday!  Gorgeous, Avery!

I love how Piper is smiling up at her big sister.  

The girls had just picked out new fall boots, so a shoe photo was necessary indeed.  
I love how they each have their own sense of style. 

Piper graced us with a bit of opera-style singing.  I was impressed! 

Lindsay!!!  You are so pretty!  Seriously.  So pretty!  

Another favorite!  

Love!

After a wardrobe and location change, we took a few photos at this cool abandoned diner that they had found while in the area a month or so before our session.  Good work, you guys!!!

You two are so cute.  I love both of these!

Another favorite!

Ok, this one too!  

I’ll end this post with these two images.  Daddy’s girls!  Lovelovelove.

Matt, Lindsay, Avery, and Piper, thank you so much for sharing your evening with me!  I always enjoy our time together!  Thank you for being yourselves and just letting go in front of my lens.  Your love and joy as a family is radiant and refreshing, and such an honor for me to document.  
Can’t wait to see you all again soon!
