Family

There is always a reason to wait. Life is busy. The kids are wild. You want to lose ten pounds. You need new outfits. Work is stressful. Someone has a runny nose. The toddler skipped their nap. And sometimes, you may wonder if your family looks the way a “family photo” is supposed to look. […]

I shoot a lot of mini sessions at the creek. And don’t get me wrong—I love them. They’re quick, fun, and perfect for updated family pictures. But sometimes, it’s refreshing to slow things down. This full family creekside session gave us the time to do just that. Instead of rushing from pose to pose, I […]

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. Every corner held a memory. Something tells me that every member of this family will cherish these images that took place at such a lovely and […]

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! Fast forward to now—they’re 10 years old, full of personality, and their mom decided it was time for updated family […]

I get asked often about my gear and what I shoot with. So here it goes. Here is all the professional-level equipment I carry in my bag. My Camera Bodies Canon EOS R6 II – I went mirrorless a few years ago and have no regrets. This is my main camera. Canon 5D Mark IV […]

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 […]
