Carmel Indiana family photography

I’ve been photographing this sweet family for nearly 10 years. As a Carmel, Indiana family photographer, I’ve taken their photos in just about every favorite spot I normally recommend. This year, they had a different idea—let’s shoot at home. We stayed outside, using the green spaces around their home in Carmel. They live in a […]

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.

Central Park in Carmel, Indiana, is an amazing spot for a family photo sessions. I love shooting here because of the wide variety of beautiful backdrops in one location. The park offers something for every style—whether you want scenic nature shots or something more playful and fun for the kids.

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.

Mini sessions are the perfect way to get beautiful, updated photos without committing to a full session. They’re quick, fun, and always sell out fast! If you’re hoping to snag a spot this year, here’s everything you need to know. What Are Mini Sessions? Mini sessions are held on set dates, run back-to-back, and last […]

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.

We captured such a variety of images from this session! There were moments with everyone smiling at the camera, kids playing and exploring, and parents cuddling. Each shot shows off the unique connection this family shares. This mix of posed and candid moments makes each session feel complete—and so much fun to look back on!

Toddlers make sessions unpredictable—and that’s exactly why I love photographing them. They don’t fake anything. When you see a big smile or hear a belly laugh, you know it’s 100% real. This sweet girl gave us plenty of both! She explored, played, and kept her parents on their toes the entire time. Her joy was contagious, and it shone through in every shot.

This particular session was extra special for me. I’ve had the joy of photographing these beautiful twin girls since their NICU days, and what a journey it has been! Watching them grow into the vibrant, fun-loving 8-year-olds they are today has been such an honor.⁠

I’m forever grateful for this family’s trust in me. Their confidence in my ability to capture their lives is something I hold dear. It’s a privilege to be part of their story, and I cherish every session we’ve had together.
