Twin cake smash session, Noblesville, IN photographer

Noblesville, IN family photographer

Sweet baby Hugh, remember him? Well he wins the award for the most mobile sitter I’ve had in the studio! He wasn’t quite crawling, but he could definitely move! He had us cracking up with his ‘Fabio pose’, and all his curious expressions. I am so glad I got to see how much he’s grown! […]

cake smash

She nailed it. There is no other way to describe this girl’s cake smash session. She was super happy before we even let her near the cake, playing with the balloons and just being adorable. Then once she tasted that frosting it was over, the squeals of delight, the rigid arms and hands squeezed into […]

Creek stomp session in carmel, Indiana

I had the privilege of photographing another baby from this beautiful family! How cute is this little guy?? He was just a teeny little thing and so perfect, I could’ve snuggled him all day. We had some laughs with the sibling shots – the contrast in the older sister and brother’s stance on being in […]

I am so glad we were able to fit in a maternity session for this family before their baby boy comes! I can’t say enough great things about this family and especially this beautiful mother. She truly has a heart of gold and is one of the kindest, most empathetic people I’ve ever met. So […]
