Dean + Becky Engagement at Locally Grown Gardens {Indianapolis, IN}

When Dean + Becky marry they are settling into a little home within walking distance of one of their favorite spots in Broad Ripple: Locally Grown Gardens! I loved getting to know them over a couple sodas and can't wait to capture their wedding in July! 

Vale Rhea In Home Newborn Session {Indianapolis, IN}

"When on thy lovely vale I stand to gaze,
I feel thou need'st from me no meed of praise:
Thy hanging woods, thy fountains, and thy bowers,
Thy dashing floods, thy landscapes, and thy flowers,
Thy bold grey rocks, thy healthy purple fells,
Where silent solitude with beauty dwells ;"

On Bingley by John Nicholson

Jake + Brittney's Airbnb Carriage House Wedding {Evansville, IN}

The rain drizzled gently throughout the wedding day. Unexpected yet romantic.

A tender, unhurried ceremony encircled by dear friends and family. A restored carriage house booked remarkably through Airbnb. Unique pizza baked and then savored inside a double decker bus. Toasting, desserts, and dancing in the candlelit night.

Thank you to Jake and Brittney for letting me be a part of their tender day. 

Jaelyn + Vincent's Family Session at Locally Grown Gardens {Indianapolis, IN}

I polished off a slice of Locally Grown Garden's infamous sweet cream pie before Jaelyn, Vincent, and their darling toddler Lyla arrived for their family session. It's worth its acclaim and just as sweet as this trio. 

Did you miss Jaelyn's greenhouse senior session?

Levi's National Parks First Birthday Party

In 2016 the U.S. National Parks Service celebrated its 100th birthday and in November of the same year my nephew celebrated his 1st! His parents are outdoorsy sorts of folk. The kind who will spend a week camping whilst pregnant and convince their naive six month pregnant sister to do the same. So, a National Parks Service themed birthday was fitting for their little ranger in training. The waffle iron was ket hot all morning serving brunch to hungry "campers." Partygoers explored the yard, challenged to "spot the bird's nest with binoculars" (hidden in a tree) and "find squirrel's stash" (a pile of acorns) as a part of a scavenger hunt. Kids laughed and danced along with a clever puppet show starring Herbie, a young possum on his journey to give a birthday gift to Levi. We devoured delicious s'more cakes and cupcakes and heard rumors of them being the best cupcakes ever tasted! As friends departed they took home a little bag with a medley of gummies, chocolates, and savory snacks from the trail mix bar. Such a fun way to celebrate our little Ranger Levi!

Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland

Portree.

The cutest, quaintest fishing village jutting colorfully from the Isle of Skye, Scotland. We visited on our family UK trip this summer. I may be a little late in sharing photos...just a little. The small island was fully booked on our travel dates months in advance. So, we got creative and glamped in darling A-frame cabins with Wigwam Holidays. Misty island treks and fresh seafood by day and s'mores by night. One of the most mysteriously dreamy places I've ever been.
