This sweet little blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty holds a special place in my heart! If you’ve followed my blog for a number of years, I’m sure you’ll recognize her adorable smile and sheer joy! For the past 7 years, I’ve had the honor of documenting her milestones, birthday parties, and blossoming personality from behind my camera! I first met her parents, Heather and Brian, for their gorgeous maternity session, as we explored the beautiful gardens at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, one of their favorite places to visit. It has been such an tremendous joy and privilege to share so many special moments with this family! Heather and Brian adore their sweet daughter, who happens to be quite an artist! I’ve seen some of her work, and I was blown away by her talent! Emily loves nature, music and theatre, animals, science, fashion, and brought along her favorite doll, Willa. Like I said, she is just full of individuality, personality, confidence, and compassion, and I’m so lucky to know her and her family! Emily Claire, thank you for sharing your afternoon with me! You continue to amaze me with your sweet disposition and passion for life and knowledge – I know your Mom and Dad are so very proud of you!!! You are a gem! Can’t wait to see you all again! And now for some of my favorites from this birthday girl’s wonderfully fun and colorful session!
As soon as I walked up to greet this adorable family, I knew we were in for a wonderful time! They were all smiles and were ready for some sweet snuggles together. Chris and Amanda are soft-spoken and kind parents, who are so proud of their handsome boy, Braxton. This soon-to-be Big Brother melted my heart with his sparkling blue eyes, his bright smile, and his excitement for everything! During our session, he shared one of his favorite trucks with me, so I already know that his new little brother will be one of the luckiest little guys around! Chris, Amanda, and Braxton, it was an honor to meet you and to photograph this exciting time in your lives! I’m so excited for you, and I cannot wait to meet your new little bundle of joy! Enjoy some of my favorites!!!
This gorgeous family happens to be part of my family! Alex and I are cousins, and it’s such an honor to capture precious memories for his adorable family! In June, Cathryn and Alex traveled to Noblesville with their little girl, Leighton, who is almost 2 and a half years old. It was a hot, hot, hot summer afternoon, and they happily smiled and laughed and snuggled their way through the session with ease! To see some favorites from their maternity session, keep scrolling below! However, we must fast-forward to just a few short weeks ago, as they welcomed their second baby girl into their lives, Miss Ashten! She is beyond precious, giving them hours of sleep at a time, and melting everyone’s hearts with her little coo’s and calm demeanor. Ashten’s nursery was a dream to photograph, with lots of natural light pouring in, colorful and heartfelt details, and a cozy vibe that wraps you up in warmth. Her big sister Leighton is a natural – she adjusted her little sister’s bow, she showered her with tiny kisses, and stared at her new sibling with awe and wonder. It was absolutely a joy to see it all! Especially her delicate features and tiny toes! We took some photos in Leighton’s room too – she is so proud of her big girl room! This new family of four (plus two furry pups!) welcomed into their stylishly restored colonial home for their newborn session, and it was so fun to relive those first few days at home with not one, but too little ones! Alex and Cathryn, you two are wonderful parents, and I loved being there to document it for you! What a beautiful family you have! Thank you for sharing this special time with me! Can’t wait to see you again!!! Hugs!!!
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!
