Daddy's Girl | The Skarbek Family | Zionsville Family Photographer

First, I hope Alyssa (mom) isn't mad at me for my title.  Two month old Addison would NOT take her eyes off of daddy during our session.  She would stare and stare at him, give him some googly eyes, smile at him and so on.  And the affection was not a one way street.  Ian (daddy) was more than smitten with his little girl.  Can we say wrapped around his finger already? 

This session instantly became one of my favs.  Downtown Zionsville is so peaceful in the morning.  We met early and the sun was rising, creating a beautiful light, and the happiness of this new family of three was radiating.  I wish I could have a session like this every morning to start my day.  Perfection. 

So I know we discussed Addison's affection for daddy above, but she definitely loves her mommy too.  We got some sweet shots of mom and daughter that I hope they will treasure forever. 

Thanks so much to the Skarbek's for trusting me with their memories.  Don't blink, because Addison will be running around before you know it.  (:

Morning Glow | The Chambers Family | Carmel Family Photographer

First - I love photographing this family.  I only had done it once before but it was a such a pleasurable experience that I was crossing my fingers that they loved it too and would come back to me.  And score, they did.  (:  I can't explain it entirely but the Chambers family is laid back, free-spirited, engaged with each other, and really just so fun to work with. 

Second, I'm a planner.  We had initially decided on downtown Carmel, back in the winter when Tara first scheduled the session. When I went to scope out the area there was so much summer construction I wanted to scream and reported back my frustration to them.  So we opted for another location that would suit the morning timeframe and was close to home for them, Founders Park.  I had never shot there before and did not have time to scope it out beforehand.  But I took a photographer friend's advice and went with it.  And I'm SO glad we did.  It was a beautiful summer morn and the light was so so yummy.  Mixed with the happy and sun-kissed Chambers family and it turned into a magical session.

Pretty Girl | Welcome Ayla | Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

I had the privilege of photographing the gorgeous Logan family and their new baby girl, Ayla in late May.  I don't think I've ever met anyone or ever heard of the name Ayla, but instantly I thought how beautiful it sounded.  Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.  And speaking of beautiful, Kristen (mom) looked stunning.  (Really did you just pop out a baby and throw on your normal jeans??  Because who can do that??)

The highlight of the session was the sibling shots with big bro Wyatt.  He did SO well and cuddled and kissed and loved on little sis.  It was pretty much the sweetest thing ever.  Mom, you can bring these pics out when they are bickering preschoolers fighting over toys and other ridiculous things.  (: 

Thanks so much to the Logan's for allowing me to capture this crazy, precious, blink and you'll miss it time in your lives.

Ava Marie | The Zeunik Family | Brownsburg Family Photographer

I take great pleasure in writing this blog for our wonderful friends the Zeunik's.  Joe and my husband grew up together and even lived together after college.  It was in those years when they were living together that Jenny started dating Joe and I also started dating Tony.  Actually I think they started dating in the same month that Tony and I did.  Who knew then that we had found our future spouses and our kids would grow up together.  Oh how things have changed from the epic beer pong and beach parties they used to throw. 

Joe and Jenny welcomed Ava Marie at the beginning of May.  She was welcomed by two older sisters Macy and Mackenzie.  Ava was a sweet angel that blessed this amazing family that had a rough year.  I won't go into details because it's not my story to tell but she was a much needed light at the end of dark tunnel.  I was so happy for them when Jenny announced they were expecting. 

I was so honored to photograph Ava Marie and her sweet cheeks.  (:  Thanks to the Zeunik's for the opportunity. I so look forward to watching her and the girls grow up together - what a wonderful bond they will have.
