The weather was not the warmest but we ended up with some great golden light at the end of this mini maternity session. Corinne (mom) was already at 36 weeks at the session and we didn't want to wait any longer. So the family endured a chilly March evening at Heritage Gardens in Fishers. Two-year old Aubrey was go, go, go the whole time but we captured a few sweet moments. Corinne and Casey are expecting baby #2 in mid-April and I love that they didn't find out what they are having. I can't wait to meet surprise baby soon at our upcoming newborn session. (:

On another note, Corinne and I went to high school together back in Valparaiso, IN - she is a couple years younger than me and although we did not hang out with the same group of friends, I always remember her big smile. And seriously, she looks the same (well, sans belly) and still has that big, beautiful smile! (:

Thank you to the Earle family for trusting me with your memories and I can't wait to meet your new arrival! See you soon!

It is something super special when I get to see clients go from "belly to baby" and watch their families grow. The Kluesner's (Amy, Brad, and 2 year-old Henry) were expecting to add to their family in late October - another baby boy. We met on an August evening at Heritage Gardens in Fisher's for their maternity photos. I actually know the Kluesner's through some mutual friends, but as neither of us realized until right before our session, my husband and I facilitated a marriage prep program that they participated in when they were engaged. I had a great time getting to know them during both the maternity session and their on-location newborn session. I also loved meeting sweet Henry - a smiley and energetic boy. (:

John Thomas Kluesner came into the world a couple weeks early. He must have been ready to go, go, go because he was bright-eyed during most of our newborn session. He was not having it for the majority of the posed portion so we turned our efforts to getting some sweet lifestyle shots. I had a hard time narrowing down the photos for the blog - the ones with John and mom and dad just make your heart smile, right???
