Summer Extended Family Session| Monticello, IN

One of the best parts of being a photographer is getting to capture special moments for the people I love. So when one of my lifelong best friends, Jenna, asked me to take family photos as a surprise for her mom’s birthday, I was beyond excited to say yes!

Jenna worked tirelessly to plan and coordinate the entire family for a quick session at Altter Nature Park in Monticello, IN. It’s such a beautiful location, and with everyone on board, we had the perfect setting for a heartfelt and memorable shoot.

I couldn’t believe how flawlessly everything came together. From the coordinating outfits to the pure joy that radiated from this amazing family, every detail was picture-perfect. The love and connection between them shone through in every shot, making my job as a photographer an absolute dream.

And the best part? Jenna’s mom was absolutely thrilled with the surprise! Seeing her reaction to the photos made this session even more meaningful. It was an honor to capture these moments for a family so dear to my heart.

Happy birthday to one incredible mom—I hope these photos serve as cherished memories for years to come!
