Happy Go Lucky | The Chambers Family | Zionsville Family Photographer

Happy kids are THE best.  I do love a serious kid shot every now and then, especially when they are in deep thought, but an overall happy kid situation for a session is ideal.  Kids are the bosses, didn't you get the memo?  

I was connected with the Chamber's family through our mutual realtor, Amy Corey.  Side note: If you are looking for a great, wonderful, amazing realtor, look no further.  Amy and her husband, Jeff, are who you are looking for.  PM me for her info.  Anyway, we originally were going to have a summer session but scheduling and conflicts won out.  We postponed until the fall and we ended up with one amazing October evening.  Weather was perfect; kids were awesome; and the session just flowed.  

The session is playful and fun and full of vibrancy.  I know mom and dad were worried about Maggie warming up the camera.  I think the exact words in the questionnaire that Tara filled out was "shy around new people" and "does not like being the center of attention."  Well, erase that because Maggie was a model kid - laughing, playing, dancing......perfection.  (:  And little Charlie with his blonde hair - just wanted to kiss him!  

Check out this total sweetness of a session:

Smiling Sydney | The Charles Family | Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

Sydney was already 6 weeks old for her first photo session but she sure slept like a champ - more like a 10 day old.  And the best moment of the entire session was when she gave us a little sleepy smile when she was in her mom and dad's arms.

I don't get to do many outdoor newborn sessions but the Charles family met me at Holcomb Gardens on a beautiful evening in the beginning of October  and the session flowed perfectly. Their dog Daisy was also very well-behaved.   

Sheryl and Chuck were the sweetest new parents.  Every time they looked at Sydney they said, "aww, she's so cute."  And the look on their faces when they would hold her....melt. my. heart.

First Fall | The Long Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

Sweet, laid back families are seriously the best.  When mom and dad are chill, usually the children follow.  Jessica and Josh have a sweet baby girl Avery who was experiencing fall for the very first time.  They desired a session that showcased the beautiful fall colors that the Midwest has to offer.  Lily Lake at Eagle Creek was absolutely perfect.   Avery had a ball checking out the leaves and hanging with mom and dad.  She made eye contact with the camera more times than I could count!  What a great model!!  

Check out this adorable session below!  It was a pleasure to photograph this little family and all of their sweetness.

Growth | The Vance Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

It's always a pleasure to capture this family on camera.  We spend our sessions catching up on life (I worked with Matt for a few years in the accounting world and I went to BSU with Sarah) and chasing their kiddos around.  This time Grandma joined in the fun.  I was SO glad to have an entertainer there as sometimes the boys like to give my camera a mean mug.  Grandma and M&M's cured that.  (:  Photographing families year after year or season after season is so rewarding - seeing families grow, watching children blossom.  I witness it in my own children and to share that with my clients is a privilege.   

Thank you so much to the Vance's for the opportunity once again to photograph your family and a special thanks to Grandma!!!  I'm looking forward to our Thanksgiving extended family session!

Curls & Cuteness | The Patel's | Indianapolis Family Photographer

So you may think you are seeing double if you read my last blog post.  That post featured curly-haired 8 month-old, Pransh.  Well, meet his 11 month-old cousin, Shrey.  (:  No doubt they are related!  (I'm also beginning to think I am the official photographer of the Patel extended family).  (:  This Patel family also featured a cute little girl, Esha, who started out pretty shy but by the end of the session, she was making up poses and dancing around.  I love when kids open up during sessions and we are able to capture them in the natural state.  (: 

Meet the Patel's:

Thank you so much to the Patel's for allowing me to capture their family in action.  (:
