So much love here.

Crawford Family's Autumn Lakeside Session {Indianapolis, IN}

A cool Autumn night.

A little calm, a little wild.

It suited this crew.

We recreated, with baby Luca, one of my favorite shots from his older sister Irie’s newborn shoot two years ago. Can you tell which (hint: not-so-happy but oh-so-kissable baby cheeks)?

Jim + Brianne's Waterfall Anniversary Session {Owen Co, IN}

Jim + Brianne on muddying up their wedding clothes on their one year anniversary.

Beneath the waterfall

Over river rocks

Through underbrush

Under the tree’s roots

Beside the cliff

and always

Near each other

Erin + Derek's Blustery Autumn Wedding {Cincinnati, OH}

As a teen, a group of five friends and I created a club of sorts we affectionately termed "OHFA." In essence there was a load of silliness. But beyond that, a core value was holding each other accountable to seek Christ and "wait for the one." After graduation we dispersed to the four corners. But, as with all forever friends, never-mind how many bad haircuts endured, bowls of cereal inhaled, children birthed, or life altering books studied, when you are together you are at home in their friendship. I certainly feel that way about Erin, her family, and the other three OHFA founding members. When Erin and Derek wed there was a sweet completeness to our "club" as the last OHFA member found her "one." I was honored to capture their very blustery autumn day! P.S. The weather was so windy that their original reception venue had to be abandoned and this barn reception was found, booked, and set up THE DAY OF. Chillest bride ever.

Irie Skye's Newborn Session {Indianapolis, IN}

I am smitten with this last photo of petite Irie and her devoted momma and daddy. In it we glimpse the newborn babe phase: 

raw

 explosive

 delicate

 humorous

loud

 and beset with love.

Norcross Family Backyard Photo Session {Indianapolis, IN}

These photos were taken in the backyard, and former Christmas tree farm, where this glowing momma grew up! Can you imagine waking up to the scent of pine? Invigorating.
