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! (:

Baby Caleb | Zionsville Newborn Photographer

Even though I photograph several newborns a month, I will never tire of the sweetness and unique qualities each baby brings.  Yes, I reuse props, blankets, wraps, furs, and accessories during my sessions (if I didn't I would be out of business because buying newborn props is an addiction! I mean, it's almost cuter than buying kids' clothes).  But even though some of those things stay the same, each newborn session is so unique.  I LOVE creating these individual, timeless treasures for parents.  It's so cliche but they grow so fast and never ever, ever, ever again will they be this small, sleepy, innocent, and precious.  Trust me, they get bigger, and louder, and opinionated.  (:  (just speaking from experience). 

Caleb was the sweetest!  He conked out right at the beginning of his session and I never saw his eyes.  It seriously was one of the easiest, peaceful, relaxed newborn sessions I've ever done.  Mom and Dad were awesome....and they obviously just adored their brand new baby boy.  Even in one of her emails to me to let me know he arrived, she said "we are just in awe."

Baby Will | Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

Sweet baby Will arrived a couple weeks early - I think he was ready to meet his energetic big sister Pensee whom was so sweet with him during his newborn session.  I think the sibling shots from his session are some of my favs.

Also, funny story - I often believe there is a six degrees (or less) of separation rule between my clients and myself, or even with other clients.  Once I get to know my clients they either know someone else I know or know other clients of mine. Come to find out Danny (dad) went to high school with my husband AND he worked with my mother in-law at a school in Avon. 

Anyway, Will was such a flexible little squish - curling up so perfectly in my wraps.  The day of our session was actually the first day he could be "free" because he had to be under a special light 24/7 since birth because of jaundice.  I know his mama just wanted to snuggle and hold him since that time had been minimal during his first week.  I'm so glad that was able to end for them and they could get him on a normal schedule. 

Thanks to the Gunn family for choosing me for their in-home newborn session!

Welcome Henry | Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

Henry was one of the smallest babies I've photographed but there was nothing small about his personality.  He gave me several smirks, serious looks, some animated faces, and then the beloved potato sack smile (my first!!).  But most of all, he was so sweet.  A big thanks to Joe and Ellen for inviting me into their home to photograph their sweet boy.  They were cool and calm first-time parents and the lifestyle shots show how much they adore little Henry.
