Barnside Blooms Mother's Day Event

Barnside Blooms Mother's Day Event

I have known Kyle since our days at Wapahani/Selma and my mom went to school with Olivia's parents so it's so neat to see them be the best parents ever to sweet adorable little Vivian. I am so happy that I could capture your little family this spring. Mini sessions may be short and sweet, but I am so glad that I get to offer them to so many different family's that I may not have captured a full session for.

Minnetrista Muncie, Indiana Family Session in the Spring (with their dog)

Minnetrista Muncie, Indiana Family Photography Session with Dalmation/dog

This family traveled from Ohio to see their daughter graduate from Ball State University. I captured Hannah's graduation photos and then just a couple days later captured these family photos. Each of their kids traveled in from a different state and their grand-dog came from out west. He was the sweetest and so well behaved. (BRING YOUR DOGS TO YOUR FAMILY SESSIONS, and NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THEIR EXCITEDNESS... I'm just as excited as they are!)

I love connecting and having such deep conversations with my clients at their sessions. Learning about their family and where they came from, what they do for a living, and their why's in life make me happy.

Thank you Minnetrista Museum & Gardens for allowing me to be a member photographer on your beautiful grounds!

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.)

Williams Family Session in my NEW Lifestyle Studio

I got to photograph my first family in the new lifestyle studio and I am so in love! This sweet family of four were so energetic and the little ones were making me laugh the entire time. Some kids sit and smile, and then there are others that you just follow and let lead the session. These two were climbing, giggling, and cuddling. Which made all the cuddly and laughing lifestyle photos so much more real and raw! Thanks to the Williams family for having me capture your family photos, I had so much fun with you guys!

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.

Halloween Themed Family Session in the Woods

I had the most unique Halloween themed family session in the woods with Sydnye & her family. She dressed up her family in the fanciest black and white outfits and brought candlesticks and an old vintage couch. We carried it out into the woods and captured the most magical family photos! Her sister, niece, and brother in law came along for family photos as well, I will be sharing more photos tomorrow. (There are too many good ones, to pick a favorite!) I also captured some gorgeous shots of just momma, because... I mean, look at her!

Glaze Family Session At Minnetrista

It is always fun to photograph a childhood friend, I grew up in school with Hunter and finally got to meet his wife and daughter! They were the sweetest family to work with. Stefani's sister surprised her with a family photo session for her 30th birthday. That is my kind of birthday present, photos that will last forever.

Jessica Surber's Extended Family Session at Minnetrista

I golfed against Jessica in highschool and then officially met her later in college, I always thought she was so sweet and bubbly. She reached out to me and told me that she and her family would be back in Indiana to visit with her in-laws and her husbands children. I was so excited to catch up with her and meet her adorable kiddos. This was such a fun family to capture, their grandpa was teasing me the whole time and the little ones have the cutest little smiles and laughs.

Extended Family Photo Session At Minnetrista in Muncie, Indiana

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!

Family Photos at a Snowy Tree Farm

I have known McKenzie Meadows since kindergarten when she lived two doors down from me and we jumped on her bed listening to "I'm Blue" on MTV and rode together to Mrs. Gobble's glass at Grissom. I moved to Selma in first grade and then met Caine Orme and have known him ever since. Never would I have imagined these two would find each other, but they are amazing together! McKenzie has taken in little Layla and loves her like her own. I am so happy for this adorable little family and I had a blast capturing their photos in the freezing snow! Thanks guys for being crazy with me and braving the snow! Whitetail Tree Farm is extra gorgeous in the winter with all of this snow!
