Growth | The Vance Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

October 27, 2016 in Children, Family

It's always a pleasure to capture this family on camera. We spend our sessions catching up on life (I worked with Matt for a few years in the accounting world and I went to BSU with Sarah) and chasing their kiddos around. This time Grandma joined in the fun. I was SO glad to have an entertainer there as sometimes the boys like to give my camera a mean mug. Grandma and M&M's cured that. (: Photographing families year after year or season after season is so rewarding - seeing families grow, watching children blossom. I witness it in my own children and to share that with my clients is a privilege.

Thank you so much to the Vance's for the opportunity once again to photograph your family and a special thanks to Grandma!!! I'm looking forward to our Thanksgiving extended family session!

Curls & Cuteness | The Patel's | Indianapolis Family Photographer

October 14, 2016 in Children, Family

So you may think you are seeing double if you read my last blog post. That post featured curly-haired 8 month-old, Pransh. Well, meet his 11 month-old cousin, Shrey. (: No doubt they are related! (I'm also beginning to think I am the official photographer of the Patel extended family). (: This Patel family also featured a cute little girl, Esha, who started out pretty shy but by the end of the session, she was making up poses and dancing around. I love when kids open up during sessions and we are able to capture them in the natural state. (:

Meet the Patel's:

Thank you so much to the Patel's for allowing me to capture their family in action. (:

Pransh @ 8 months | The Patel Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

October 13, 2016 in Children, Family

I always look forward to photographing this family! I met them last December when they were expecting their second child. Their son Ansh stole the show - he LOVES the camera and well, the camera loves him. (: Brother Pransh was born in January, which now seems like such a long time ago! Their newborn session was held on a snowy, snowy morning. It was hard to believe that it was already time for their next milestone session. Pransh is now 8 months. Check out his curly locks! I can't wait to see this little guy again for his first birthday session.

Thanks to Monal, Jiger, Ansh, & Pransh for once again allowing me to capture some sweet memories for your family!

Exploration | The Boyce Family | Carmel Family Photographer

October 06, 2016 in Children, Family

Most of my days are filled with chasing my kids around and sometimes that involves a camera as I try to capture their innocence, curiosity, messy-faced smiles, playfulness, and basically anything that involves the craziness of having three kids under the age of five in my house. So when I have a session with young children (which probably makes up 80% of my clients), I take the same documentary approach. Yes, let's get some great family shots for the Christmas card, but lets take some time to see where the kids take us.

And that's exactly how the Boyce's session played out. Lena and Nellie were two very active girls. Lena was a free spirit and wanted to run and explore and dance and just be a kid. Younger sister Nellie was a mover and a groover too. Both were so sweet and I loved seeing the playful interactions between Erin and Seamus (mom and dad) and the girls.

This session is a story. A story of a family full of love for each other and two little girls who love to EXPLORE.

Thank you so much to the Boyce family for allowing me to capture such sweet moments.

Summertime Session | The Shula Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

September 14, 2016 in Children, Family

Holcomb Gardens is a beautiful location, especially in the summer with the flowers and gorgeous sun peaking through the trees. During the Shula's mini session, we didn't move around too much because the heat and humidity were so high that we would break a sweat even breathing. Sticky, sticky evening. But we found an area with some purple flowers that complemented Miss Ruby's outfit and beautiful light shining through the trees. Perfect spot for a perfect little mini.

I had the pleasure of photographing the Shula family after Ruby was born. Her newborn session is on the blog here. Big brother Parker was NOT a fan of taking photos back in November, and well, he wasn't much of a fan on this day either. BUT with a little fun and bribery we were able to capture him. (:
