Connection | Indianapolis Family Photographer

The fall is such a blur. Every fall. Session, Session, Session, Edit, Sleep, Repeat. Sometimes I have a hard time processing it all until it’s over. I took this session in though - this session moved me. At the time of shooting this last fall, Susie and John had been together over 51 years. They have had a lifetime of ups and downs and I think the photos speak for themselves that they have made it through it all, and they continue to love unconditionally. In my back and forth emails with Susie, I commented how much of an inspiration their marriage is to many and she gave me some wonderful words of wisdom: “Please remember that when you have a family your time is very divided between children, work, caring for your home and your spouse.  Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the inertia of it all and the spouse usually ends up being last on your list.  Just remember not to lose touch with each other.  When the kids are finally in bed, the dishes are done and all is quiet in the house……make time for each other.  Stay connected.”

Before the Storm | Zionsville Newborn Photographer

I will always remember the last newborn I had before the storm hit. And by storm, I mean the coronavirus chaos. I actually postponed Elias’ session once because my daughter shared her cold with me and I wanted to make sure I was healthy for the session. Things were changing daily the week leading up our rescheduled date with a couple school closings and the storm looming, although us still not knowing what it all would mean. I had my assistant stay home to limit the number of people in my studio. And we luckily got Elias’ session in just in time. That afternoon schools in our area closed and well, you know the rest. There will be stories to tell about the year you were born, Elias, and you just may not believe it.

Colette | Zionsville Newborn Photographer

Baby Colette was anxious to enter the world, arriving a month earlier than planned. She spent a little time in the NICU but was ready to go home within a couple weeks and join her brother. She was over a month old for her newborn session (I usually wait to hold sessions with premies so they can pack on some lbs.) but she was absolutely perfect. Congrats to Barb and Erik on their sweet new angel! Welcome to the world of pink! (:

Lexi | Class of 2020 | Indianapolis Senior Photographer

I don’t get the opportunity to photograph high school seniors very often as my main focus is newborns and families, but I love it when I do. I had that opportunity with Lexi last fall. I used to work with her mom and she graciously hired me to take Lexi’s senior photos. Lexi wanted to incorporate nature and water. With the perfect location, a great evening (although a bit warm), and her stunning hair, we captured some wonderful images to represent this time of transition.

The last shots in the water are my absolute favs!

Jessica | Class of 2020 | Indianapolis Senior Photographer

I met my match in artistic vision with my senior client Jess. She is a sweet soul and we fed off each other’s creativity to produce an amazing senior session. We used a vibrant and bright backdrop for a large portion of the session. She found quotes that she loved on the graffiti’d walls. We followed gorgeous light all around. Even a train made it’s way into the background. It was perfect.

As most seniors, Jess is not getting the proper end to her final year of high school and it’s disappointing. But I hope all seniors use this as motivation to rise above and make the next chapter even better than they hoped. Good luck Jess!!! You are beautiful and so talented! I can’t wait to see what you create.
