Baby Ari - Greensburg, Indiana Newborn Photographer

Welcome to the family of five club, Kanner Family! I am so happy I got to come and snuggle on your newest little one. I had such a great time getting to know your family during your session. 

Ari Hayes is seriously the cutest little newborn ever! And even if he was awake pretty much the whole session, I loved it!  I loved big brother and his cautious, protective, big brother vibe. I loved big sister's spunky, vibrant, "steal the show" attitude. I loved the bond mom and dad had with each other and to their new little one. 

Before you know it, Little Ari will be running around, climbing up on everything, trying to keep up with his older siblings, and causing his mother much anxiety(as I know from experience)! :) But, until that day... enjoy those baby snuggles, sleepless nights, dreaming smiles, and all the firsts as they come along.

Samuel - Lifestyle Newborn Session - Greensburg, Indiana Newborn Photographer

I can't get enough of this little family. They are just the cutest! Their newest little one is so handsome! I was so excited to get to hang out with sweet Samuel for a few hours. He had moments of being very alert and interested in me and then he fell asleep for pretty much the rest of his session. His mother says he barely cries and has been a perfect new baby. 

Big brother was a typical two year old during his little brother's session. He kind of stole the show when it was his turn to be in photos. Charlie has a big personality and is so entertaining. I love listening to him talk with his sweet little voice. He is really going to be a great big brother. And his parents will have their hands and hearts full with these boys! :)

While getting some photos of the nursery, I peeked out the window and notice a super cute shed in the backyard. I had to grab the family to take some pictures outside. I am so glad they did! And since they are moving this year, having some photos of their old house will be so fun to look back on. 

I can't wait to watch this little one grow and see the relationship he builds with each one of his family members!

Lincoln Daniel - Newborn - Greensburg, Indiana Family Photographer

It was wonderful to see Lynsi and James again for another newborn session. I was blessed to photograph their son, Henry, a couple of years ago. And I was honored to photograph their last little one. Lincoln is their FOURTH baby! 

Lynsi is an awesome mom! Life with little ones can be challenging(I know from experience), but she makes it look so easy. I loved that she decided to make Lincoln's newborn session just about him. His older siblings were at school or daycare, so we got to focus just on him. And since it was a lifestyle session at their home, I was able to capture the love between mom and dad...and stick little Lincoln in the mix. 

Lincoln was such a sweet baby boy. He definitely had this old man look on his face for most of the session. I had several favorite moments from this session...I couldn't just pick one! I loved the ones of Lynsi on the couch with him, caressing his hair. I loved the ones of dad holding him close and Lincoln looking so little in James' arms. I loved the ones of all three of them in the kitchen where mom is hugging dad from behind and just soaking it all in! And many more!

I am so excited to watch this handsome little one grow over the next year!

Little Man is 1!! - Greensburg Indiana Family Photographer

I can't believe Boden is 1 year old! It seems like just yesterday we were headed to the hospital early in the morning to get ready for his arrival. He has turned into a spunky, strong-willed, on-the-go toddler! He is walking EVERYWHERE and getting into EVERYTHING! He doesn't like it if he doesn't get his way. He loves dancing, anything his siblings are doing, sticking his tongue out, and playing peek-a-boo. 

We had a great time at his flannel themed birthday party. Complete with a trail mix bar, s'mores on a stick, fudge stumps, cupcakes and tree saplings for our guests to take home and plant. Here are a few of the pictures from the party.

I had such a fun time planning this little party. A huge shout out to my sister-in-law, Lynnette Davis, for helping me with planning and setup.

Vincent Family - Lifestyle Session - Zionsville Family Photographer

Love. Love. Love lifestyle sessions!!! This one was perfect! Sherri(Mom) wanted to capture this time in their lives and what she wanted to remember. They started by picking raspberries from their raspberry brushes. While mom was getting dessert ready, the others were enjoying trampoline time with dad. After dessert, it was time for pirate pjs and bedtime stories. 

I love this family and am blessed to have them as part my life. It's even better that they live across our backyard!

WARNING...I may have overdone this blog post with too many photos. But, I couldn't narrow it down!!

8 Tips For What To Wear – Ways to look your best during your session

Figuring out what to wear during a session can always be stressful. I know from experience! But, there are a few tips that can help you in your journey to put together a GREAT wardrobe for your session. 

1.  Choose a coordinating color, but not the same outfit - Pick a color that can be included in part of each family member’s ensemble. However, you don’t want everyone to look like they match.

2.  Limit distracting patterns and logos – Stay away from small check patterns, too many distracting patterns, and anything with large logos that might take the eye away from what you are wanting to capture.

3.  Consider your home décor – These photos are most likely going to be seen around your home. Consider what colors and outfits will go well with your color scheme and décor. Also, think about timeless outfits for photos that can be art for years to come.

4.  Clothing that fits well – Outfits that are too large can look unkempt and baggy. Wearing clothes that are baggy are unflattering to your figure. Also, making sure the children’s outfits fit well is very important. Trying on all outfits before the day of the session is a great idea.

5.  Comfortable & Confident – During the session, you and your family want to feel comfortable in different poses and could be doing some walking around. When you feel uncomfortable, it can show in photos. I want you to relax and have fun. Being comfortable and confident in what you are wearing will help.

6.  Think about the little details – While your beautiful faces and expressions are what the photos are about, don’t forget all the little details. Remember to include accessories/textures that aren’t too distracting. Scarves, lace, cute tights, suspenders, vest, sweaters, jewelry, belts, etc. And, don’t forget about shoes. Stay away from crocs, shoes with characters on them, and excessively worn shoes. Also think about socks, as they might be seen while sitting.

7. Dress for location/weather – Consider outfits based on where the session will be located. If it’s springtime and there are lots of green, stay away from greens. When deciding what to wear, pick colors that will complement the backdrop and not compete with it. Also, dress appropriately for the weather. If you or your children are too hot or too cold it will show in the photographs. Everyone needs to be comfortable during the session.

8.  Lay all outfits out together – It’s always helpful to lay everything out together to see what works and what doesn’t. Plus, you can make sure you aren’t forgetting any essential piece of clothing. 

Remember, feeling great during your session and having a good experience is so important. Plan ahead for success and a beautiful session!
