I have captured both of of daughter's monthly photos for their first year of life and it is so sweet and precious to see them change and grow their first year of life and see how fast it goes. It is also sooooo heart breaking to see how FAST they grow. I am glad, as much time as it took to capture those photos, that I took the time to take them. Luckily you, as the parent and not the photographer, just bring your kiddos and I will capture them.
Milestone and Family Photos in the Portrait and Lifestyle Studio
Studio Portraits and Lifestyle Studio Milestone and family photo session. I have captured this family for years, before mom and dad were even married!
I have been photographing this little family since mom and dad's engagement photos at Minnetrista. Both of their boys are so stinking cute!
You have to check out the ADORABLE EXPRESSIONS that I captured throughout this session of little bro. (I was cracking up while editing these.)
If you ever wonder if I overshoot...here is your proof!
I got to capture little bro's milestone photos in the studio and we started with some family photos first. I love that my studio allows for lifestyle photos and portraits in the same location. I also can do outdoor photos in the evening and photos in the portrait studio if anyone ever wants a variety of indoor and outdoor photos with a beautiful outdoor wooded area and some gorgeous sunsets peaking through the trees.
(P.S. The portrait studio is where all of my backdrops are and my lifestyle studio is where the bedding, curtains and chairs are.)
Owen's First Birthday Cake Smash IN THE WOODS
Oh Owen, I photographed him as a newborn, and his older brother and sweet sweet family. We laughed and laughed throughout this session, his contagious smile, the fact that his older brother may have puked as soon as they got to the studio, the time that his mom dropped chocolate cake on my head, when dad walked in to the wrong door and into the owner’s apartment and so many more reasons. We literally were laying on the floor in laughter at one point with tears running down our faces. It’s those kind of clients that are keepers and make my job soooo much more fun than it already is. Thank you to the Brown family, mostly Robyn for this adorable set up and theme. She brought bags and bags of props into the studio and we created this set up together with a mixture of her props and my own. This woodsy, Buffalo plaid, First Birthday Milestone shoot was one of my favorites! Happy First Birthday Owen! You are too stinking cute with those cheeks!
Oh Owen, I photographed him as a newborn, and I have captured his older brother and sweet sweet family several times. We laughed and laughed throughout this session (more than we normally would), his contagious smile, the fact that his older brother may have puked as soon as they got to the studio, the time that his mom dropped chocolate cake on my head, when dad walked in to the wrong door and into the owner’s apartment and so many more reasons during this session.

(Make sure and scroll down to those last two photos to see mom, dad, and big brother join in on the cake smash!)
2020 Christmas Minis at The Barn at Providence Farm
My favorite year of Christmas minis yet! I can’t thank Katie from The Barn at Providence Farm enough for allowing all of my clients and I to photograph on your beautiful property. Everyone spoke so highly of your venue and how gorgeous it is. I have been shooting and editing constantly for the past few months (you know, cause it’s busy season) I finally had a few minutes to sit down and curate some of my favorites from my first round of minis (I will be sharing more from my second round here in the next couple of weeks.) I am so thankful for all of my clients who come back to me year after year and for my new clients who chose me to capture their family. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and I already can not wait for next years Christmas minis!

Blair's Senior Photos at Pendleton Falls Park
Oh Blair! I absolutely adore this sweet senior. She is one of my senior spokesmodel girls and is so full of life and has such a bubbly personality. She is such a giving person with such a big heart, and apart of so many different groups and activities. She is a senior at Madison Grant, and wanted an outdoorsy/water/bridge senior session. She came up with the Pendleton park and it was PERFECT! Her older sister came along for a few photos as well in their matching tutus and t-shirts with their birth year. The whole family tagged along and dad carried her outfits, mom and sister redid her hair and carried all of her cute accessories. I can't wait to shoot again with her in the spring for her second half of her senior photos.

Cooper Christmas Minis in the Studio
I had the Cooper family in the studio to model for Studio Christmas Minis this year, and look how stinking cute they are! Wyatt was so excited to have his photos taken, while Noah his little brother, had to warm up a bit. Once we got them cuddling and hugging each other they were good to go!

Leah's Senior Session - At the Nature Reserve, River, and Minnetrista
Leah had 2 senior sessions this fall, the first with her horse and in downtown Muncie and the second session at Minnetrista, the Nature Reserve, and along the river.

Parker & Allyson's Engagement Photos in Muncie Indiana
Allyson & I met in college in art school, when she reached out to me about her engagement photos I was so excited to catch back up with her and her fiance! They drove down from Fort Wayne a couple months ago and it started pouring, so we decided to reschedule. When we rescheduled, I was so excited that they got the gorgeous fall leaves and colors at Minnetrista. I am so excited to shoot their wedding next winter (as long as covid does not change their plans!) These two were so cuddly, Parker was hugging and kissing on her the entire time while she smiled and giggled so naturally.

Rees Family Fall Photos at Minnetrista
I captured this sweet little boy in the hospital a year ago for his fresh-48 photos. Kim, his momma contacted me this fall wanting family photos and some of just their little Rowan. With Minnetrista’s beautiful fall leaves and colors, I knew it would be a great location for their family photos. Scroll to the last photo to see this sweet family a year ago in the hospital.

Ryder And The Fam in Yorktown, Indiana
I got to photograph sweet Ryder again, after capturing his newborn photos this past spring! His momma and older brother came along too, and they were stinking adorable in their BABE shirts. I captured the first half of their session at Morrow’s Meadows and the second half at Cammack Station with that adorable coca cola sign and red stair case.

Sophia Ireland Senior Photos - Downtown Muncie Indiana
Sophia Ireland is one of my 2021 senior spokesmodel team girls and she has been so much fun to work with this year. She has had some of the most adorable and stylish outfits through all of her photos that we have captured during the team events and her own senior photos. When we talked about locations for her senior photos, she knew she wanted them downtown muncie, and on the parking garage on Ball State’s campus, and railroad tracks! We photographed the railroad tracks and adorable little diner at Cammack Station in Yorktown.

I have known Sophia since she was a little girl, I actually babysat her and played Barbie's with her at her childhood home in Selma. Her mother was my Spanish teacher and had equally adorable style (especially with her shoes!) Sophia’s older brother was one my brother’s friends growing up and I could not believe when Sophia applied to be on my Senior Spokesmodel Team, that she was a senior already! It did not seem possible! I can not wait to see what Sophia does with her future, because I know she will do it boldly and confidently, whatever she chooses to do!

I photographed Ariel Hart-Brown & Matthew's engagement photos, their wedding, and now their maternity photos.

Thanks for having me capture your life together.

BFF Photo Shoot with Berkley & Courtney at Minnetrista
Scroll to that last photo to see Berkley Rios & Courtney Thomas waving goodbye to their "F" balloon. It got a little bit windy, and as we were walking to the car the midwest derecho started. You would never know when looking through their session. This BFF session was full of laughs, dog kisses, best friend cuddles and IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I offered Best Friend Sessions back before Covid started, and we finally got it scheduled. They brought their bikes, adorable dogs, men (to carry all the props around haha), a picnic, BFF Balloons, super cute hats, a letter-board and of course matching jump suits!

Magical Flower Field Shoot with Blair
GUYS! I can't tell you how many times during this shoot I giggled and said, "OH MY WORD BLAIR!" Can you believe this location is a spot I have driven by 10,000+ times in my life. I never thought about it being such a magical location until about a month ago. As a photographer I am always scouting out new locations and exploring new spots for my clients. Blair is one of my senior spokesmodels and did ABSOLUTELY amazing throughout the entire shoot. These are just some highlights, there are soooo many more just as magical as these!
I may be 26 but you never are too old to ask for your mommas help! I had my momma, Jennifer come along and shoot some behind the scenes shots for me to share on social media with everyone. As a photographer I don't get many photos of me behind the camera, so these photos and videos mean the absolute world to me. (Thanks mom!)
If anyone is wondering where all of her cute outfits are from, Blair is a brand ambassador for The Wispy Pine Boutique! Feel free to follow their page and check out all of their adorable outfits and accessories.

Chantelle Portrait Session
I photographed Chantelle & Ryan’s wedding this past year and l LOVED working with the two of them. When Chantelle reached out for a portrait session for herself I was so excited to capture her once again. Ryan came along to help carry her hat and of course support her along the way and we also got some updated couple portraits of the two of them as well. If you have never had a portrait session for yourself, I suggest you book one now! I booked a photographer last fall to capture headshots and portrait of myself along with my dog Kip, and could not stop smiling after I received my photos back. The last time I had photos taken of my self was 8 years ago for my senior photos, so it was definitely time! Thank you Chantelle & Ryan for trusting me to capture your life along the way, you two are the sweetest.

Ava & Hanna BFF Session
I offered BFF sessions this past spring, and I absolutely loved doing these! Ava and her bff Hanna wanted some photos in their neighborhood and it was beautiful. Look how stinking cute these two are, they were the sweetest to work with. The wind was CRAZY that evening, but it made for some pretty windblown hair and lots of laughs. Thanks girls for having me capture your adorable friendship!

I met Mariah and her husband about 6 years ago, photographed them one other time, and even dog sat for their big fluffy doggo. I was so excited when she booked me for an extended family session. Due to weather and corona, their session got pushed back quite a bit but we finally got their session booked and it was such a beautiful day!

I had a blast at this BFF Session with Anastasia & her friends Ava, Brielle, Katie, Madison, and Meghan. It's hard to believe but I found this location within a minute from my house.

Thanks guys for trying out this new location with me, it turned out beautiful.
