Fun Carmel Family Photography Session at Sunset

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.

Pink and Red Sunsets in Indiana Due to Canadian Fires – Coxhall Gardens Maternity Photography

Nature has a way of demonstrating the interconnectedness of our planet, as events in one corner can have surprising consequences in distant locations. Recently, Canada has experienced devastating wildfires that have left their mark on both the Canadian landscape and beyond. The impact of these wildfires has reached as far as Indiana, where hazy sunsets have become an unexpected result of the Canadian fires. The smoke particles act as a filter, altering the distribution of wavelengths in the sunlight and creating a captivating display of warm, muted colors during sunset. Shades of red, orange, and pink dominate the horizon. This isn’t your typical Indiana sunset, but it does make for some unique pictures.
