It has been so much fun watching Mason grow up! I have captured her sparkling blue eyes and adorable smile as a newborn, and then at 3 months, 6 months, and now 9 months (those photos are coming soon!). And in turn, she has captured my heart! She is the daughter of our dear friends, Sean and Kristen. I realized I hadn’t taken any family photos since her newborn session, so that had to change! And fast! My sweet husband, Reggie, was my enthusiastic assistant on this autumn evening.

One of few trees with colorful leaves still hanging on…just for Mason!

I love happy families, they make my day!

Mason kept busy, there were leaves to play with, dancing assistants to watch, and then she showed us that she can wave! It was too cute!

Mason and her Daddy. Love these!

On a little evening stroll…

Mason, your Mom is beautiful. Just like you.

Connected.

Mason was workin’ it for the camera…and then she checked on her
Mom and Dad to make sure they were paying attention!

Little Miss Mason, you are too cute!

Life is good.

Thank you, Sean, Kristen, and Mason for a fun evening!

And thank you for a delicious dinner! See you soon!

Please give a warm welcome to Chris, Kim, and Evelyn! I was so excited to meet with them on a cool, autumn day. Despite some wind and rain a few days prior to their session, there were still beautiful fall leaves on the trees. We spent some time wandering around Stonycreek Farm and later in downtown Noblesville for some portraits of Evie. After all, turning 3 is a very big deal! I have said this before, but I love my job! Meeting such nice families, just like this one, makes every moment worthwhile. Thank you so much for sharing your afternoon with me! Now on to the photos!

The oh-so-adorable Evie!

Kim, Evelyn, and Chris

We discussed many things during our session, one of them being cheese. Right, Evie? 😉

This trio enjoys the outdoors together, they love spending time outside as a family.

And Miss Evelyn is not your typicial girly-girl…although, we may say differently in a minute…
she loves leaves and sticks and the great outdoors. And several Disney characters too.

Curiousity…not just for cats!
Did we ever find out what was inside? It remains a mystery.

Who doesn’t love a little game of Peek-a-Boo? It’s a classic!

I absolutely love family silhouettes, one of my favorites!

Evie, you are such a sweetheart!

Mother and Daughter, so precious!

Frolicking in Fall…aren’t the leaves amazing?

A few days later, we met up for some portraits of Evie.
She had just turned 3 back in August.
Happy Belated Birthday, Evie!

Another favorite, I just love her expression.
Oh la la! Tres mignonne!

Evie befriended this little lady bug…how cute!

I love details, and this is another favorite of mine.

More favorites! Evie, remember how I kept telling you that you’re adorable?
This is exactly why!

Sunflowers can be a nice distraction.

A little ray of sunshine on such a cloudy day!

Chris, Kim, and Evie, it was so fun working with you! I loved meeting you, and
capturing this fun family time. Can’t wait for you to see the rest of your images!

What a beautiful fall day we had! This family worked it out, despite the chilly autumn breeze that would blow through now and again. You may remember Brooke and Brad from their maternity and newborn session with baby Wes. Well now Wes is officially 1 years old – Happy Belated Birthday, Wes!!! You are turning into such a handsome young man! And Tyler, you are an awesome big brother! Without further adieu, please enjoy this amazing family’s images! I had so many favorites, it was hard to narrow it down! On with the show!

Photographers are notorious for saying stuff like “Just one more…ok, maybe one more…”
You guys are troopers!

We even had a road all to ourselves.

Tyler is a skateboard whiz, so I asked him to show off some of his moves.
(Another favorite!)

Sunset + Field + Lovebirds = Romance

Sunset is magical, especially when shared with the ones you love.

Bundles of joy, cute, cuddly, sweet, precious, adorable. All of these words describe newborns, especially this one. Please allow me to introduce Maeve! This little delight was born on October 6, 2009. And I cannot believe that she is almost a month old! Her proud parents, Bridget and Greg, are two of the nicest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. They met at IU (Go Hoosiers!), fell in love, got married, and now have the most perfect daughter. And Bridget’s Mother was there as well, just beaming over her beautiful, new granddaughter. They welcomed me into their home with open arms – it was such a pleasure to meet you guys! And now for the sweetness that is Maeve!

Sunday afternoons are perfect for naps!
