Tall Grass and Candid Lifestyle Photos - With the Lingenfelter Family - Muncie, Indiana
Large Blended Family with little kiddos and adult kids, such fun candid photos of a beautiful family at Prairie Creek Reservoir Nature Reserve.
Come along and walk through this beautiful blended family session in Muncie, Indiana. Mike was my volleyball coach freshmen year of highschool, 16 years ago! What!!! That makes me feel so old, these twins were little boys running around the court after practice and Kiley was a little girl practicing alongside us. I LOVED getting to capture this laid back family who just went along with the two little ones and what they wanted to do. Mike told me I was the most patient person ever, but in all honesty when kiddos have this much fun during their sessions, it makes my job of capturing them SO MUCH MORE FUN! Yes I got a workout, but you can’t fake this session! Just scroll and laugh along at all of their facial expressions. THIS IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO! Yes these smiley posed ones are beautiful to have and hang on the wall, but the candid ones are memories that we create and I get to freeze in time. IT’S LIKE MAGIC!

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.
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!

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!

Family Photos at the Craddock Nature Preserve
This family was such a joy to work with, momma did amazing job styling everyone’s outfits. I had to throw a few extra mom and dad photos into this preview, because I mean look at them! Mom and dad always deserve a few minutes to themselves during a family session, let the kiddos run around and capture some dreamy shots for them to treasure.

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.

Booking Your Fall Photos in 2021
Let’s talk booking your FALL session!
If you are wanting to book fall photos in 2021, I suggest you email me as early as June to get a weekend date, and no later than August for any evening fall photos. I am booked up for the year of 2020 and so thankful for all of my amazing clients.

A little information about scheduling your sessions:
Senior Sessions are usually 2 hours in length, family, couples, children, and maternity sessions are usually an hour in length.
When you reach out through my website, I receive an email and respond (usually within 48 hours). I send you my pricing and packaging for each session, you let me know what you are interested in and we discuss locations, dates, and details.
Once we pin down a date, I send you a booking link where you reserve your session with a 50% payment. The remainder is due the day of your session either in cash or check.
When it comes to locations…
I have quite a few that I regularly shoot at. I do shoot at client’s homes as well and requested locations. Barns, pine trees, pathways, rivers, beautiful trees, front porches, and woods usually make for great session locations. When we email back and forth, I always ask what your style is (city, downtown, nature, a mixture?)
I then suggest several locations depending on the season and time of day.
What time of day is best?
I only shoot outdoors in the evening time, usually an hour to two hours before sunset for the best lighting. I want all of my clients to receive the best lighting at all of their sessions.
I would love to work with you and your family and capture your photos, and make the experience exactly what you need!
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!

Layken - Studio Newborn Photos
Layken came into the photo studio with her momma for photos of just her. She is absolutely adorable! I designed some flowery, girly, boho set ups for this sweet babe. I love designing the newborn setups uniquely for each client depending on their style and tastes.

Makayla & Joe's Wedding at The Country Club
I absolutely loved capturing Makayla & Joe’s wedding day at the Delaware Country Club this September. They were the coolest and laid back couple ever. Their first look was stinking adorable, their ceremony was held during a golf tournament and the two of them could not have cared less who was around them, Makayla & her dad’s father daughter dance had everyone smiling and cheering. Makayla & Joe are made for one another and I loved being able to capture their love for one another and their family’s love for them!

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.
