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!

What a lovely early fall evening we had for this gorgeous family’s portraits!  It was hot and humid, however, we had the best glowing sunshine and so many hugs and smiles and pure sweetness, that it just didn’t matter!  I’ve the honor of knowing Eric and Jenny since before they married, and I’ve absolutely loved being asked to capture and share in so many wonderful memories over the years for their sweet family!  They are a perfect example of loving parenting, they’re always in awe of their precious girls, Nicolette and Clara, and so full of joy and thankfulness too.  Before I get too sappy and say how much I adore these people, I want to share their beautiful images and let you see for yourselves how their genuine hearts and bright spirits radiate from the inside out to everyone who’s lucky enough to be called family and friends!

Hello Clara, beautiful birthday girl!!!  One of many favorites!!!

I hit the jackpot with this next family session!  The forecast called for rain at the time of our session, and while we had access to an indoor location, I really wanted to be able to get some outdoor images! As luck would have it, we were able to work quickly outside before heading indoors to wrap up our time!  Yay!  And we captured some adorable hugs and smiles and family time!  This family is upbeat, up for anything fun, and on the go!  They spend their time cheering on their favorite teams, cooking and baking together, and discovering exciting things to do around the city they call home.  They’ve designed a life that they love, and their happiness is contagious!  I’m blessed to call them neighbors and friends!  Our little boys will be in school together in the coming years so that will be such a fun time to share!  Ready for some favorites from our fall evening?  Yes, me too, my friends!  Let’s go!

Did I mention that this family is completely adorable? Well, they are!

 
You are such a handsome little guy, Vince!
 
 
Yes, yes, yes!!!
 
Two beauties, inside and out!!!

Miss Allison!!!  You are so pretty, my dear!

I always love getting couple portraits of parents, and this is a favorite!  You two are the cutest!
These 4 make any location look so good!  We wrapped up our time with some 
quick portraits indoors for a cool, urban feel. 
Nick, Adrienne, Allison, and Vince, thank you all so much for sharing your evening with me!  I love your style and your love for each other!  Thanks for making my job such a delight!

It’s almost impossible to believe that 4 years ago today, you made us parents!  Little did we know what a crazy, fun-filled adventure we had embarked upon!  You are caring and sweet, full of energy and imagination, passionate (especially about dinosaurs!), intelligent and independent, fun-loving, and so much more!  We are so proud to call you our son, and we love seeing how wonderful of a big brother you have become to Emerson!  Happy 4th Birthday, Remington!  We love you to the moon and back!  xoxoxo

 We are excited to spend your birthday with you and your brother!  Happy Birthday, Bub!!!

Happy 4th Birthday, Remington!

What a perfect evening we had to capture some sweet family portraits!  I knew as soon as I saw this beaming family walking toward me that we were going to have a wonderful time, just like last summer when I photographed Heidi’s side of the family over the Fourth of July! They were all smiles and stylish from head to toe!  Heidi is my cousin, and we reconnected after several years when we were both expecting our first babies back in 2012!  AJ and Heidi’s sweet as pie daughter, Ellen, was born just a few days after Remington!  The month of September is full of celebration for this family – they all have September birthdays!  In fact, Andy just celebrated his 2nd birthday a few days ago!  Happy Birthday month, AJ, Heidi, Ellen, and Andy!!!  It was so much fun to photograph your adorable, loving family!  Let’s get right to some favorites!

I am smitten with this gorgeous family!  You guys seriously made my job so fun!

AJ and Heidi are amazing parents.  They’re kind, generous, ambitious, family-oriented, down-to-earth, funny, …I could go on and on!  And it’s obvious their love has everything to do with how joyful their kiddos are!

 

 

 

 

 

 Ellen and Andy are so sweet together!  They love holding hands and hugging and being playful together!  A true joy to photograph and be around!

 

 

 

Oh, Miss Ellen, you are a little beauty!!!  Those blue eyes! Your sweet smile! And not to mention that perfectly cute ensemble complete with jelly shoes!!!
