As an Indianapolis Photographer, one of my favorite things is watching babies grow during their first year. This little birthday girl? I’ve had the joy of photographing her since she was brand new.

Cake smash sessions are the perfect mix of chaos and charm. There’s no script, no perfect pose—just pure joy, curiosity, and a whole lot of frosting. And that’s exactly why they’re so special! This session had it all—sparkle, soft pinks, and rich purples—creating a dreamy backdrop for such a fun milestone. But the real magic? […]

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.

This Nutcracker-themed cake smash session was pure magic! The birthday girl was a natural in front of the camera—stunningly beautiful and full of smiles.

Your baby’s first birthday is such a special milestone! A cake smash session is a fun way to celebrate and capture this moment. Picking the perfect theme can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips to help you get started!

As a photographer specializing in newborns and families, sessions like these are what I live for. Capturing these cherished moments—the giggles, the messy faces, the pure happiness—is why I love what I do.

As a mom of three, I understand the joys and challenges of adding a new baby to your family. Transitioning from one child to two can be a big adjustment for everyone. Drawing from my own experiences, here are seven tips to help make the transition smoother:

I love sitter milestone sessions! Capturing babies at this stage is so special. These sessions are best when your baby can sit soundly on their own. You should feel comfortable leaving your baby on a hard surface without fear of toppling over. This usually happens around 7 months old, but every baby is different. If your baby isn’t sitting solidly yet, we can reschedule.

Watching families grow is one of my favorite parts of being a photographer. I recently had the joy of capturing this sweet baby girl’s journey. From her time as a bump in her mom’s tummy during the maternity session to her adorable newborn session, it’s been a beautiful experience.

It’s no secret, I think that I have the best job in the world! As a newborn photographer, I get to be a part of the most precious moments in a family’s life. Every day, I witness love, joy, and the magic of new life. From capturing tiny toes to documenting first smiles, my work is filled with unforgettable memories. Here are six reasons why being a newborn photographer is truly the best job ever.
