If you’re searching for Indianapolis family photographers to capture something meaningful for Mother’s Day — this is your sign. 💐 This year, I decided to shake things up in the best way. Instead of only hosting my annual outdoor Mother’s Day mini sessions around the city, I added something brand new: in-studio Mother’s Day mini sessions in Downtown […]

One of the sweetest parts of being a Carmel newborn photographer is getting to watch families grow. I first photographed the Clark family during my Carmel fall mini sessions last year, so when they reached out to share that they were expecting again, I was beyond excited for them! This time, we met at my studio in […]

There is something incredibly special about welcoming a baby girl into a home full of boys—and the Gallien family’s Zionsville newborn  session was nothing short of joyful. After three energetic, camera-loving brothers, their first daughter, Emily, has officially arrived! A Baby Girl After Three Brothers When I arrived at their Zionsville home, I’ll admit—sometimes walking into […]

Welcoming a new baby home is one of the most meaningful seasons of life—and it’s always an honor to document those first days. Recently, I had the joy of photographing the Mels family in Zionsville, Indiana as they celebrated the arrival of their second child, a sweet baby boy named Luke. A Cozy In-Home Newborn Session in […]

There’s something extra special about photographing families right here in Carmel, Indiana—especially at a place as magical as Coxhall Gardens. This recent family session at the Coxhall Children’s Garden was full of connection, laughter, and the kind of quiet, love-filled moments that remind me why I absolutely adore being a Carmel family and newborn photographer. 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. The Weimers reached out to plan a full family session with their adult […]

Zionsville Family Photographer | Late Fall Session at Traders Point Creamery & Tree Farm As a Zionsville family photographer, there are few things I love more than capturing families I’ve had the honor of photographing for years — and this one is extra special. I recently got to photograph my brother-in-law’s beautiful growing family at Traders Point […]

Coxhall Gardens Fall Family Photos | Client Appreciation Event with Jake Basker Realty This November marked my fifth year partnering with Jake Basker Realty for their annual Client Appreciation Family Photo Event, and it was another beautiful success! Every year, Jake brings his clients together for a fun, relaxed family photo experience just in time for the holidays […]

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 […]

A Perfect Fall Family Session at West Park in Carmel, Indiana Fall is one of my favorite times of year to photograph families in Carmel, Indiana—especially at West Park. This session was captured during that magical in-between stage of fall, when some trees were still lush and green while others had just started to change into […]
