Man on the Move | The Richards Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

June 06, 2016 in Family, Children

At the time of this session, I was seven months pregnant, but I still considered myself pretty fit and able to chase my smallest clients around. 15 month old Jack was certainly trying to prove me wrong. He was a man on the move and I was sweating by the end of the session. Parents Eric and Kristin have their hands full with their little man, but as you can see in the pictures, he is one sweet and happy kiddo. The Richards Family was one of the monthly feature families for Trader's Point Living. They dressed just right for the upcoming July issue - red, white, and blue!

Anya at 6 months | Session at Turkey Foot Nature Park | Zionsville Family Photographer

May 23, 2016 in Family, Children

I was SO excited for this morning session - perfect light, bright yellow field of flowers, the greenery, and well, my clients were pretty awesome too. (: Lufi (mom) and I worked together briefly in the accounting world - I was on my way out to stay home with my boys when she came aboard. But in the short time we worked together I knew I liked her - great personality, funny and just so likeable. (: I was elated when her and her husband, Hans, asked me to photograph their family of three for their daughter's 6 month photos. And I'll let the photos speak for themselves...........she is ADORABLE! I'm currently pregnant and she pretty much made me want to have a little girl to dress up. (: (don't worry, future child, if you are male, that is perfectly fine - I'll love you just the same). But really, can't you see what I mean??

A HUGE thank you to Hans, Lufi, and Anya for this beautiful session and being such great clients!

Happiness | The Quinto Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

May 06, 2016 in Children, Family

Families that truly enjoy each other are such a joy to capture. This session was SO easy for me because everyone was laughing and goofing around the entire time. They just exude happiness. The Quinto's purchased a session I donated to a silent auction for the St. Luke Methodist Church fall festival. My oldest son attends preschool there and Stephanie (mom) is a teacher in one of the 3's classes (not the one that my son is in, BUT she does sub for them periodically). I had heard Louis (my son) say "Mrs. Quinto" before but didn't make the connection until a few days prior to our session. Regardless - this family was a blast - their photos show it all:

Thanks to the Quinto family for such a fun evening and for supporting St. Luke's preschool!

Baby Blues | The Pool Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

April 27, 2016 in Family, Children

I'm a sucker for blue-eyed boys (I have two of my own) and I had the pleasure of photographing cutie Caleb one spring morning. Loved, loved, loved his big blue eyes! Michelle, Andy and Caleb are the June feature family for Trader's Point Living. I met the Pool family at their beautiful home and we walked the neighborhood, finding some great spots for photos. Of course we hit up the playground for Caleb to show off his playing skills (think boys and sticks and rocks). (: I enjoyed meeting and hanging out with this active, fun-loving family!

Who Says Business Can't Be Fun? | The Corey Connection | Indianapolis Headshots and Family Photographer

February 24, 2016 in Family, Headshots

For me it's hard to believe that I first met Amy back in the spring of 2007. I was on the hunt for a new home and she was a realtor that was referred to me by a good friend. Amy not only was an amazing realtor, helping this first-time buyer through the complicated process, but she became a good friend. She is amazing at keeping in touch. Every life event of mine - wedding, pregnancies, babies being born - she recognized it in some way - a small gift, a phone call - just a nice reminder that she cares.

When I started this photography endeavor, she was one of the first to recognize my talent and support it with full backing. Even during my portfolio phase, she wanted to hire me. Talk about making this girl in "start-up" mode feel good - my realtor wants to hire me for some business shots - shots that will be seen over and over again - put on business cards, calendars, mailers, etc. I was ecstatic and nervous and I quickly got into planning mode. We finally got together last August for a fun business/family shoot. Her husband Jeff and her combined forces in 2014 and created the Corey Connection - a real estate powerhouse. The session was held at the perfect time as they were rebranding themselves, getting ready for their transition to join Keller Williams Realty.

I am so happy to have the Corey Connection as a partner with my photography business. If you are looking for a realty team that will work with you and for you to sell, buy, or build a home, please don't look any further. I have referred them out a couple times and each time, my friends were more than happy with the results. And let me also mention - they are too much fun!! Our photo session was a blast and my family and I actually just attended a bowling event they hosted. The turn-out showed the wonderful following they have and again, it was fun! Fun people passionate about serving their clients and making a difference in their lives - a lesson that I have taken from them and am using it towards my own business. (:

Now on to our session:

Thank you so much to the Corey Connection for your business, your support, and your passion for serving your clients. There is meaning behind your name "Connection" because that is truly what you do - connect people with homes and connect with them personally. I look forward to many more FUN sessions in the future. (:
