Last summer I had the honor of meeting and photographing this sweet and lovely duo!  I loved capturing their hugs and giggles and joy again this summer!  We worked fast to beat the coming rain – and we wrapped up their session with a click of the camera and pouring raindrops!  Luckily, the kind gentleman who owns the property we were photographing on — one of my absolute favorite places, Mill Top — allowed us to wait inside and then walked us to our cars with his umbrellas!  It was really a fun and exciting evening!  I couldn’t love working with this gorgeous mother and her darling daughter more.  They share a happy, life-loving connection and are always up for an adventure!  Thank you both so much for entrusting me to capture your beautiful mother-daughter bond!  I’m sharing a few favorites below!  Happy Summer!!!

Prepare for sweet snuggles with pups and one of the cutest families around!  We had the perfect evening for some family portraits at the stunning Historic Ambassador House & Heritage Gardens this past fall!  It has been so much fun to watch this family grow since photographing their first son’s newborn session 4 years ago!  Scott and Valerie are blessed with two handsome, lovable, energetic boys!  Harrison and Macklin are brothers and best of friends, and it is just the most adorable thing to watch them together!  Their beloved pets, Freenie and Levi, joined us for some photos, which I loved!  This family is so full of love and life, and I always look forward to hanging out with them!  I have so many favorites from their session, so let’s jump right in and see some of them now!

Scott and Valerie, thank you for sharing your evening with me!  Your boys are the sweetest!  Cannot wait to see you all again!

What a joy it is to photograph this sweet blue-eyed girl!  I have had the honor of documenting her life over the past 6 years – even before she was born when I first met her wonderful parents, Heather and Brian!  They are completely smitten with their little girl, and it’s so easy to see why! Emily Claire is full of life, love, curiosity, wonder, intelligence, humor, and energy!  She is quite an artist – I have been so impressed by artwork her parents have shared on Facebook!  She loves animals and helping people too.  She brought along her favorite horse, Dazzle, to be in some photos, and it was the cutest little prop, along with her wool hat and riding boots!  We had a beautiful fall evening with hazy, golden late day sunlight that danced and followed sweet Miss Emily around the always lovely Historic Ambassador House and Heritage Gardens.  Enjoy some favorites from her fall portrait session!

Emily Claire, you are a total sweetheart and so much fun to photograph! Thank you for sharing your day with me! Cannot wait to see you and your family again!

Oh, what a sweet treat this blog is in for today!  On a perfectly warm and sunny autumn afternoon, I met this family for some fall portraits, and it was so much fun!  Juli and Brad are wonderful parents to two of the most handsome little guys!  Lincoln is 2, and he’s such a fantastic big brother to baby Nolan, who had just celebrated 6 months the day of our Session!  And they’ll be celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary this month! This family of four loves spending time going to local parks, playing soccer, and having lots of fun!  Enjoy some of my many favorites of this adorable family as they soak up a gorgeous day filled with joy and snuggles and sunshine!

Hi there, Nolan! Don’t you love his smile and bright blue eyes?

 

Did I mention we had an absolutely beautiful day? The vibrant fall colors were a perfect backdrop for this happy bunch!
Juli and Brad, you two are completely adorable!  Happy Anniversary to you!!!

 

 Lincoln, you are such a great big brother and quite a handsome guy too!

 

 They do love their Mommy so! Look at Nolan’s cute little tongue!
 
So much happiness! I love this!
 Brad, Juli, Lincoln, and Nolan, I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful time!  
What a joy and honor it was to document these sweet family moments!
Wishing you a magical holiday season filled with love and peace!

It’s such a beautiful day outside, sunny and nearly 70 degrees…in November…in Indiana!  For this family’s session, we had a much warmer end of summer day, however, you’d never know it was such a scorcher because of the love and joy pouring through their images!  I’ve had the honor of documenting Jen and Ryan’s journey from their lovely spring engagement session to their sunny summer wedding, and now to their first child!  Their son Patrick is so sweet, so handsome, and such a little charmer!  He handled the heat like a champ, and soaked in his proud parents’ snuggles and songs when he needed a little soothing!  The icing on the cake was when I got to hold him for a bit as we said our goodbyes after their session!  What a sweet baby boy!  Patrick, you light up your parents’ faces and make them beam with happiness!  And what a treat it was to capture!  I met this trio at one of their favorite parks – one they visited as a couple as they celebrated their engagement and even more so where they dreamed of one day bringing their own little one someday.  I love it when a location holds so much meaning and heart and story for my clients!  Here are some favorites from our time together!

A favorite! Love all the smiles here!
 
Jen and Ryan, you are such wonderful parents!  Little Patrick is so lucky to have you both!!!
 
Patrick has perfected his model face! 😉
Oh, how I love precious little baby feet and toes!
 
Hi, Patrick!!!
When Patrick took a little rest, we got some portraits of just Jen and Ryan!  I love photographing the parents together, not only as a reminder of their special relationship, but also to document who they are in their journey as husband and wife. These two are head over heels for each other!
 
 
Did I mention that we had some crazy bright and beautiful sunshine?  It was a hot day, but it was oh so worth it for this glow!!!  Another favorite!
 
Little sailor!  Jen and Ryan have their own sailboat, and this little guy is their favorite first mate! 
Look at those blue eyes!  Patrick, you are such a doll!  A handsome doll! This adorable elephant quilt was handmade by a family member and it was the perfect place for Patrick to take a break!
Dare I say that Ryan and Patrick made their prediction early on?  I like to think so! 
I love this!!!

 

 Ryan, Jen, and Patrick!!!  What a delightful family you are!  I am so happy for you guys, and I love seeing how you’ve eased into parenthood!  Patrick is such a happy little guy, and it’s easy to see why, because of all of the love and tenderness you surround him with each day!  Thank you for sharing your evening with me, and for allowing me to witness all of these sweet moments!
