Sisters | The Boyce Family | Westfield Family Photographer

This was my second session with the Boyce Family.  I shot them last fall at Coxhall Gardens and we had a blast chasing their two girls around, Lena and Nellie.  Both of the girls have birthdays in March so they chose a lifestyle-type session at their new BEAUTIFUL home for some birthday photos.  I love how Seamus and Erin (Dad and Mom) allow me to capture what unfolds with the girls rather than forcing poses.  They had fun chatting it up,. running around, playing on the playset, piling on Mom and Dad, and blowing bubbles.  Not to mention they had the perfect sunset-facing backyard for photos - such yummy light.  (: 

Thanks to the Boyce's for once again choosing me to photograph their family and kiddos.  I truly love documenting this fun time in your lives!  Enjoy!

Silly and Sassy Girls | The Laughner Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

One of the greatest honors, in my opinion, is to be asked by another photographer to photograph their family.  Another great honor is to be asked by a friend.  The Laughner's lived across the street from us for 8 years and I learned after starting my business that Jeremiah used to be a professional photographer. He shot more run-way models and weddings then families like me, but some awesome stuff.  I was so excited (and honored) when he asked me to photograph their family last fall as an anniversary gift for his wife, Jodi. 

It has been so fun watching their family grow through the years.  Their oldest daughter, Addison, is a chatterbox.  Anytime we were coming home or were in the front yard, she was asking what we were doing or where we were going.  She's so silly.  And their other daughter, Amelia, is a sweetie but she has a little sass as well.  My boys always liked "impressing the girls" and getting them to laugh when they stopped by.   

The Laughner's moved to Brownsburg in January and I know they are enjoying it there.   I miss seeing them across the street but we stay in touch through social media and hope we can get together in the future. 

Close-knit | The Byrum Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

I was connected to the Byrum's by the St. Luke Catholic Church Fall Fest silent auction. They were the lucky winners of my session package. I hadn't met them before since we usually attend an earlier Sunday mass but even then, our church is made up of hundreds of families.  I am so glad I had the opportunity to photograph this sweet family though.  Kara, mom, was so nice and so easy to talk to.  She is a saint in my book as she homeschools all four of their children.  Clark, dad, was very charismatic and friendly.  And the kids - they were all spunky and silly and sweet.  There is something about big Catholic families - there just is.  They have a closeness and a camaraderie.  I love it.  Check out the fun that we had on a chilly fall morning last November.   

Thanks to the Byrum's for supporting the church and for a fantastic session!

Sawyer is ONE | The Manifold Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

You may remember the Manifold family from last year.  I shot their maternity and newborn session for their sweet baby boy, Sawyer.  And the Manifold's stole my heart - loving, kind parents with a feisty, fun toddler and a newborn.  Fast forward one year later and they are still just as wonderful - now with two boys that are all over the place.  We had a very active session in my studio, to say the least.  (:  And Mr. Wesley's suspenders........so stinkin' adorable.  Can't go wrong with a little man in suspenders!

Fab Family of Five | The Digman's | Indianapolis Family Photographer

This is my family in 4 years. Two older brothers and a sister. I have a lot (of craziness and fun) to look forward to. (:  

The Digman's youngest, Reese, goes to preschool with my oldest, Louis. Reese is so sweet and pretty darn adorable.  Louis is a little smittin' with her too.  I'm so thankful that we have met some awesome families from the school.  It will be sad next year when we all will split off into different school corps as some of the kids start Kindergarten.

Reese is protected by her two older brothers, Lukas and Quinn. They are BOYS - just wanting to run and play and goof around.  Taking pictures really isn't their thing....but a little bribery went a long way.  (:  

Our session was on a gorgeous evening in early November - look at that amazing light!  We had a blast chasing the kids around and capturing some great pics.  Thanks Digman's!
