This next sweet session was full of gorgeous sunshine, smiles, and searching for butterflies in a colorful secret garden!  And the family was even sweeter, with the two most adorable sisters, Ava and Audrey.  I had the honor of photographing Audrey when she was just 5 days new!  They are excited about the arrival of their newest family member in just a few short weeks!  We spent the warm summer morning getting some portraits that I can’t wait to share!  So excited for your family, Jason and Jessica!  Ava and Audrey will be the best big sisters!!!  And now for some of my many favorites!

Say hello to these two cuties!!!  Audrey, 2, and her big sister, Ava, 4!
Lovelovelove both of these!

Seriously adorable, Miss Audrey!

Ava was so excited to be in front of the camera!  Love her smile!

Sisters!!! 

Jessica, you are beautiful! 

These girls adore their parents!  Love both of these!

Ava and Audrey helped me get some portraits of their Mommy and Daddy!  ðŸ˜‰

We ventured to a beautiful garden in search of some butterflies…we did spot a few fluttering about!

Ava suggested they put on their own butterfly wings to attract more butterflies!
I love this series of them in their sparkly wings!

Another favorite!

J + J, you are the cutest!  

Stunning, glowing, radiant Momma-to-be!

Little Audrey wasn’t feeling too well during our warm and humid session, suffering from a summer cold, and this next image just melted my heart!  Daddy’s little girl!  

So sweet!


Jason, Jessica, Ava, and Audrey, thank you so much for sharing your morning with me!  You guys are such a fun and easy-going family, a true joy to photograph!  So excited to meet your newest addition in the coming weeks!  Your new little one just could not ask for a more loving and lively family!  Congratulations!!!

Earlier this Spring, we learned that we’d be expecting a new addition to our family!  We let Remington in on the news right away, because we know that with a new baby comes some big changes and periods of adjustment.  Santa Claus will be pretty busy this season… Our due date is 12/25/15!  We had a perfect summer night to capture this exciting time!  On Monday, we found out if we’ll be decorating the nursery with pink or blue!  Keep reading! 😉

My handsome guys!

Reggie captured some of the sweetest photos that I will always cherish!  Remington has been giving hugs and kisses to the baby since finding out he’ll be a big brother.  And it just melts my heart!

Remington’s favorite cuddly friend had to come along… Hi Goldie!

Drumroll, please!  It’s a BOY!!!

I told Remington I had some surprises in store for him during our session.  Confetti!!!
And by the looks of the image on the right, he’s going to be a great big brother!  Poor Goldie was getting covered in blue confetti! 😉

Then it was time for blue silly string!  Once he got the hang of pressing the button, he was unstoppable!

Yay for boys!  We’re so excited that Remington will have a little brother!  He’ll be able to share all of his cars, trucks, and trains with him! 😉  We truly feel blessed and can’t wait to meet the little guy!
Thank you to Reggie and my parents for helping with this special session, and for cleaning up all of the confetti and silly string!  Love you all to pieces!

My dear friend is expecting her second child in just a few short weeks!  She wanted to capture this special time since she didn’t have maternity photos taken during her first pregnancy.  Audrey and I have been friends since meeting our freshman year at Indiana University.  We’ve run countless miles together, with dogs, and with our kiddos.  Our two boys have become great friends too, which makes us so excited and happy!  They both love cars, trains, animals!  And soon we’ll all be swooning over a sweet baby girl!  I just cannot wait to meet her!  Audrey, I’m so excited for you and your family!  Here are a few favorites of my beautiful friend from our afternoon in the studio!

I love everything about this one!  

We had to have some pink…and a flower crown was a must!

Favorite!

I love Audrey’s style!

Audrey, thank you so much for the honor of documenting this exciting time!  You are such a wonderful mother.  Your baby girl is going to be such a little beauty…and she will absolutely adore you!  Sooo excited for you!!! xoxo

To say that I’m excited for this couple is a complete understatement.  Leah and Daniel are expecting their first little bundle of love in December!  They are having a baby boy, and I am just over the moon thrilled for them!  I’ve had the honor of photographing their engagement and wedding, maternity announcement, and now their delightfully sweet maternity session!  Leah and Daniel met me at one of my favorite parks, when the leaves were vibrant yellow!  Since they had never been there before, I showed them some trails and playgrounds where they can someday bring their little guy and tell him all about how Mommy and Daddy came to this very same place before he was born.  And they can tell him just how very excited they were thinking about holding him, snuggling him, and sharing nature’s beauty with him!  Leah and Daniel, I hope you enjoy some of my many favorites from this gorgeous autumn evening!

Throughout the session, Daniel would just stare at his wife, mesmerized by her.  And so this image is definitely a favorite of mine.

Daniel was standing off to one side while I took some portraits of Leah.  He kept telling her how beautiful she was, right then, right there, in that light.  I totally agree with you, Daniel! 

A favorite!

Leah, you are beautiful.  Truly beautiful.  

Yes, the scenery is quite lovely.  The way these two held each other and just breathed together is my favorite part. 

Leah and Daniel brought along the cutest little baby shoes as well as one of their favorite pieces of decor from their son’s nursery!  Jackson is such a fantastic name!

We were blessed with some pretty amazing light during their session, and I just couldn’t let them leave without soaking in some of the last bit of the evening light!  A favorite!

Leah and Daniel!  I know I’ve told you a hundred times how happy I am for you, so I’ll just say what 
an honor it has been to document each of these wonderful occasions in your lives since meeting you a few years ago.  You’re about to embark on one of life’s most amazing-crazy-awesome-miraculous adventures together, and I’m so excited to see your sweet family grow!  Baby Jackson, I cannot wait to meet you!  xoxo

As we strolled around the gorgeous grounds of the IMA during their engagement session, they told me they’d be contacting in a few years for family photos.  Their wedding day was one that I’ll never forget. It was beautifully perfect from beginning to end.  A few months back, I received a phone call from Leah.  I had a feeling that I knew what she was going to tell me, and I was hoping so much that I was right!  I got chills as she told me that she and Daniel were expecting their first child in December!  If you’re lucky enough to know these two, you know that they are going to make amazing parents!  They are genuinely sweet, kind, warm, and witty.  Just cool people with the biggest of hearts.  Sharing the joys of life side by side with their new little one will be so very special.  With the threat of rain and the insanely hot and humid temperatures the day of their session, we opted to stay cool in the studio for their maternity announcement photos.  And I cannot wait for their maternity session coming up later this fall!  Leah and Daniel, I am SO excited for the two of you!  What an honor it is to document this next season – truly an extraordinary and magical one – in your lives!  I cannot wait to see you soon for your maternity session!

Lovelovelove.

You two are so cute!

And Baby Wirkk, I cannot wait to meet you in a few short months!!! You are already loved so much!
