Family

2025 was a great year, but a busy one. Every year, I sit down and write this post, and it brings me a lot of joy. It gives me space to pause. I look at the data, update my website, and think through how I want to move forward. So, here are the highlights from […]

As a Carmel Family Photographer, I’ve photographed this family for years. Each time we meet, the session feels easier and faster. That comfort shows in every image. Parents relax quicker because they already trust the process. It shifts the whole tone of the session. Everyone settles in fast, and we move with ease. Some clients […]

Fall in Indianapolis shows off for a short time every year. These images are from a recent fall family session in the Indianapolis area. The leaves were at peak color. The trees were bold and bright. Every direction I turned, the backdrop looked amazing. You really can’t beat these colors for family photography. As an […]

I photographed this sweet crew again this Fall here in Carmel, Indiana. The leaves were perfect and the light stayed soft, which made the whole session feel calm and easy. I’ve been working with this family since their oldest was born, so documenting their growth each year means a lot to me. They also book […]

There’s something special about photographing multiple generations in one place. This extended family session took place at the grandparents’ home — the same house where their kids grew up.

This session had it all—giggles, running, climbing, and lots of love. Photographing families with three kids always keeps me on my toes. But that’s part of what I love most. The chaos usually leads to the best moments. We met at Coxhall Gardens in Carmel. It’s one of my favorite spots. There’s open space for […]

If you’re looking for a colorful, quirky, and totally one-of-a-kind spot for family photos—this is it. Broad Ripple’s Flower Alley is full of charm, art, and little surprises. I recently did a session here and couldn’t stop smiling behind the camera. Here are 10 fun facts that make this spot so special: 1. It started […]

I love offering sessions at Dull’s Tree Farm in Thorntown, IN twice a year—once for summer Wildflower Sessions, and again in early November for Tree Farm Sessions. The early November sessions have a special magic with golden sunset light and rows of trees creating a cozy, private backdrop. As an Indianapolis family photographer, I have […]
