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 […]

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 […]

Some sessions just make my heart burst—and this one absolutely did! When Brady and Leealison reached out to book newborn photos for their baby boy, Bowen, I quite literally screamed with excitement. I had the absolute joy of photographing their wedding in May of 2024, and it’s still one of my all-time favorites. Their wedding was […]

Next up in my fall family mini session series at Coxhall Gardens was the Green family — and I was so excited to see them again! I actually met them a few years ago when they were guests at a wedding I photographed, so when they reached out to book one of my mini sessions this year, I was thrilled. […]

After kicking off the morning with the Lindsey family, my next session at Coxhall Gardens was with the sweet Clark family — another brand new family I was so excited to meet! One of my favorite parts about doing mini session days is getting to connect with so many new faces back-to-back. There’s such a fun energy that comes […]
