Pransh @ 8 months | The Patel Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

I always look forward to photographing this family!  I met them last December when they were expecting their second child.  Their son Ansh stole the show - he LOVES the camera and well, the camera loves him.  (:  Brother Pransh was born in January, which now seems like such a long time ago!  Their newborn session was held on a snowy, snowy morning.  It was hard to believe that it was already time for their next milestone session.  Pransh is now 8 months.  Check out his curly locks!  I can't wait to see this little guy again for his first birthday session. 

Thanks to Monal, Jiger, Ansh, & Pransh for once again allowing me to capture some sweet memories for your family!

Exploration | The Boyce Family | Carmel Family Photographer

Most of my days are filled with chasing my kids around and sometimes that involves a camera as I try to capture their innocence, curiosity, messy-faced smiles, playfulness, and basically anything that involves the craziness of having three kids under the age of five in my house.  So when I have a session with young children (which probably makes up 80% of my clients), I take the same documentary approach.  Yes, let's get some great family shots for the Christmas card, but lets take some time to see where the kids take us. 

And that's exactly how the Boyce's session played out.  Lena and Nellie were two very active girls.  Lena was a free spirit and wanted to run and explore and dance and just be a kid.  Younger sister Nellie was a mover and a groover too.  Both were so sweet and I loved seeing the playful interactions between Erin and Seamus (mom and dad) and the girls. 

This session is a story.  A story of a family full of love for each other and two little girls who love to EXPLORE. 

Thank you so much to the Boyce family for allowing me to capture such sweet moments.

Summertime Session | The Shula Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

Holcomb Gardens is a beautiful location, especially in the summer with the flowers and gorgeous sun peaking through the trees.  During the Shula's mini session, we didn't move around too much because the heat and humidity were so high that we would break a sweat even breathing.  Sticky, sticky evening.  But we found an area with some purple flowers that complemented Miss Ruby's outfit and beautiful light shining through the trees.  Perfect spot for a perfect little mini. 

I had the pleasure of photographing the Shula family after Ruby was born.  Her newborn session is on the blog here.  Big brother Parker was NOT a fan of taking photos back in November, and well, he wasn't much of a fan on this day either.  BUT with a little fun and bribery we were able to capture him.  (: 

Thanks to the Shula's for sweating it out for photos!  I can't wait to shoot Ruby's first birthday cake smash in November!

Fun and Fit | The Randolph Family | Zionsville Family Photographer

The Randolph family is my latest Trader's Point Living feature family.  We held this session back in June as I was cramming a bunch of sessions in before I popped out a baby and took a break for the summer.  We had the most amazing evening for a session - it wasn't too hot as it had been a few days earlier - and we had a great location with vibrant backgrounds/colors.  And to top it off, the Randolph's are one awesome family.  They were my kind of family - fun, active, laid back, and up for anything (see last jumping photo).  (: 

Meet the Randolph's: Ike, Regina, Nia, and Sydney

Sydney the track star:

Nia the freshman runs track like her sister and also plays soccer:

And look how adorable Mom and Dad are (:

Ike is a retired Indianapolis Firefighter and he LOVES his hat featuring the FD logo.  Thank you for your service! 

Thanks to the Randolph's for participating as a feature family for Trader's Point Living!

First Father's Day | Indianapolis Family Photographer

I LOVE it when photo sessions take on special meaning.  I was contacted to photograph a special multi-generational father's day session for a family - dad was celebrating his first father's day and grandpa was celebrating his first father's day as a grandparent.  Baby H was SO adorable and the love the family has for this child was so apparent.  The emotions were even a little stronger because mom, dad, and baby H live on the west coast, so visits with the grandparents are limited. I loved hanging out with this family and capturing some sweet moments - especially between son, dad, and grandpa.
