Beach Baby Cake Smash – Indianapolis Photographer

I recently had the sweetest first birthday session in my Indianapolis studio. The theme was beach balls, and it was so much fun! This little guy had the most blue, blue eyes you’ve ever seen. They popped in every image. He was happy from start to finish. First, we captured some simple portraits. Then, he […]

Pumpkin-Themed Cake Smash with a Spooky Twist!

Once the cake was ready, so was she! Her setup featured a pumpkin backdrop with twinkle lights, bats, and even a few spooky spiders. She looked absolutely adorable in her little witch costume, hat and all! Watching her curiosity bloom as she reached for her pumpkin cake was so much fun. As she dug in, frosting found its way onto her face, fingers, and even her hat.

Creek Side Outdoor Newborn Session – Outdoor Indianapolis Newborn Photography

I adore everything about this session and this sweet family. This sweet newborn boy was a little older (3 weeks old) so I suggested to his family to consider doing a lifestyle outdoor session.
