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.

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.

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!

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!

Recently, I had the joy of photographing the Dillow family at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel, Indiana, and it […]

Backyard Kiddie Pool Magic | Indianapolis Family Photographer + Mom Life As a full-time Indianapolis family photographer, I spend most of my days capturing other families’ most precious memories—but when it comes to photographing my own son, Beau, it’s not always as easy as it sounds.

Witt Family Photography in West Clay | Carmel Family Photographer As a Carmel family photographer, I often get to witness and capture some of life’s most special moments—but sessions like this one with the Witt family are extra meaningful. With children and grandchildren spread across the country, it’s a rare and beautiful occasion when everyone can be […]
