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.

He was so proud of his new baby […]

A Surprise Proposal at a Lake House in Fishers, Indiana | Indianapolis Proposal Photographer Some photo sessions are planned weeks in advance. Others? They start with an unexpected 8 AM phone call.
