10 Years of Carmel, Indiana Family Photography

Why Sunset Sessions Shine for Family Photos in Carmel, Indiana

Sunrise or Sunset – You Can’t Go Wrong Sunrise and sunset both offer that soft, flattering light photographers dream about. But today, I’m talking all about sunset sessions—those warm, golden evenings that make family photos glow. This family of four met me at one of my favorite Carmel parks right before sunset. Two girls, mom, […]

Why Tweens Deserve Updated Family Photos Too

I first photographed these sweet twin girls when they were teeny tiny newborns. Their last session with me was their cake smash for their first birthday. Hard to believe that was nearly a decade ago!

8 Things You Should Know About Scheduling Your Wildflower Photography Session at Dull’s Tree Farm

Last year, Dull’s Tree Farm was my most popular location, and it’s easy to see why. It’s great for winter photos on the tree farm but it’s even better (in my opinion) in the wildflower field. With its vibrant wildflower fields and breathtaking scenery, it offers the perfect backdrop for your summer photos.

Doodles & Delight: Capturing Candid Family Moments with Indianapolis Family Photographer

When I say I’m a doodle lover, I mean it! We have not one, but two doodles at home. Our mini Labradoodle is 12 years old and full of personality—grumpy yet loveable as ever. And then there’s our 6-month-old Goldendoodle, a giant bundle of joy and pure energy. With these two in the house, I get my daily dose of dog snuggles, goofy moments, and the occasional burst of chaos.

Child Milestone Session: Choosing Between Studio and Outdoor Sessions

In-studio milestone sessions offer a lot of variety while keeping things simple. During a full session, we typically use 3-4 different outfits. I have a wide selection of rompers and diaper covers you can use, or you’re welcome to bring your own outfits or props that hold special meaning. The focus is mostly on your baby, but we can include one family setup during the session as well.
