We started her senior […]

But recently, I had the chance to step in front of the lens myself for something really special: our own family photos before my son Beau’s birthday. Every summer, I make it […]

As an Indianapolis family and newborn photographer, one of my favorite things is when families book a maternity and newborn package together. It gives us the chance to connect before baby arrives and helps me learn what’s most important to you during this special season. These two sessions are more than just portraits — they’re part of […]
