You might recognize the Kurtz family from baby Colin’s newborn session earlier this year! I first connected with Alicia a few years ago when their middle son, Theo, was literally just born. Funny enough, I actually met their house before I met them — I photographed it for interior designer Kara Grider and that’s how our paths […]

One of the sweetest parts of being a Carmel newborn photographer is getting to watch families grow.

There’s something extra special about photographing families right here in Carmel, Indiana—especially at a place as magical as Coxhall Gardens.

Why Coxhall Gardens Is […]

Some sessions just hit a little differently—and the Weimer family’s session was one of those full-circle moments I’ll never forget. As an Indianapolis family photographer, I’ve had the honor of photographing so many milestones over the years, but this one felt especially meaningful.

As an Indianapolis wedding photographer, I’m lucky to work all over Indiana—and Alexis and Payton’s wedding was such a fun reminder of why I love traveling for my couples.

This year’s Christmas Mini Sessions in downtown Indianapolis were such a joy, and the Spaeth family was the very first new family I had the honor of meeting!
