Perfection | Baby Oliver | Indianapolis Maternity and Newborn Photographer

I first met Andy, Michelle & Caleb a year ago when they participated as a feature family for Trader's Point Living.  They are pretty much a photographers dream of a family - so fun, laid back, and up for anything.  When they asked me to photograph their maternity and newborn sessions for their new little one, Oliver, I was so excited for the chance to work with them again. 

We held their maternity session at Coxhall Gardens in early January.  We had a decent 40 degree day and Mr. Caleb stayed warm by running around and around. 

Oliver arrived on January 29th weighing in at 7 lbs. 11 oz and was 21 inches long.  In Michelle's exact words to me when she messaged me to tell me he arrived: "He's perfect."  And so perfect he is.  I think big bro Caleb likes him too....what do you think?

Thanks to the Pool's for letting me share in their "perfection."

Sawyer is ONE | The Manifold Family | Indianapolis Family Photographer

in , ,

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!

Baby John | The Moore Family | Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

in

Welcome to the world Baby John!  I had the privilege of meeting and photographing a sweet, sweet couple and their newest addition, John, last month. I love spending time with new parents. Unlike many of my other clients that I meet during their pregnancy stage for maternity photos, I met Allison and Brian for the first time the day of John's newborn session.  I'm always so honored when couples invite me into their home and trust me with this little person that means more than anything in the world to them. Allison and Brian were so warm and inviting. And they certainly didn't act like new parents - they appeared seasoned and relaxed.  They were so smittin' with their little guy.  Ashley's mom was present at the session too.  I absolutely LOVE when grandparents get involved - any session - newborn, family, children - grandparents make everything so much better.  What child does not love their grandparents??  And what grandparent does not adore their grandchild/grandchildren?? 

Anyway, prepare yourself for complete and utter sweetness:

Thank you to Brian and Allison for the opportunity to capture this amazing time in your lives.  Allison, I'm so happy you get to stay home with your little guy and snuggle with him each day.  You will look back on this time many years from now and be so glad you spent every day with him during those first few years. (:

Little Luke | Belly to Baby | Indianapolis Maternity and Newborn Photographer

in ,

Art and Phuong - first time parents so big on love. They have a cute and silly way with each other. They are laid back and easy going, which in parenting is a must; because trust me, those cute little newborns turn into toddlers that want to test you every day.  Back in the fall, they were awaiting their little bundle, Luke.  He was to arrive in January and we shot their maternity session during the last drop of fall.  It was brisk and chilly, but their hugs warmed them up.  I loved looking back on this session.  Pregnancy is so beautiful.  

Luke arrived four weeks early and weighed a little over 4 lbs.  Despite surprising everyone with an early arrival, all went well and Luke was healthy.  He was a little over 2 weeks old for our session and he had already beefed up past 5 lbs.  It was SO heartening to watch Phuong and Art stare at their new baby, and love on him, and talk to him in sweet baby voices.  There is NOTHING like having a child. I'm loving newborn photography more and more because I get to share in these emotions (been there done that times three) and I get to capture them for the parents to share forever.  

Thanks so much to Art and Phuong for allowing me to capture this special, crazy, amazing time in your lives.

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

in ,

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!
