Favorite New Venue: The Barn at Kennedy Farm | Lizton, Indiana

It was truly LOVE at FIRST sight when we arrived at this venue. The Barn at Kennedy Farm is everything a couple could want for their perfect day. Among the best features: enough room to dance and seat guests comfortably, lights galore and a landscape of perfection. Oh, and the swing! There is an adorable swing out back for the sweetest touch of whimsical romance. We simply cannot wait to visit this venue again for work or fun!

Love this Family!

I first met Bambrah and Matt at a wedding. When they asked if I'd be interested in shooting their Jamaica wedding - well, let's just say I was over-the-moon excited. It seemed like something straight out of a dream. That was the most memorable trip(!!!), and it led to a cherished friendship that I am so grateful for. When they asked if I wanted to photograph their precious baby's arrival in the world... Again, over-the-moon excitement! I love relationships with clients. I love really knowing their families, seeing their babies grow and building friendships. So thankful. God has blessed me through this job in ways I never would have expected.

Rock your Maternity Session | Simple Tips

I have had so many clients ask me this year how to have an awe-inspiring, whimsical maternity session. Here are just a few tips that I have for ladies preparing for this..

Maternity sessions aren't just for first pregnancies. You obviously love each one of your children, why not document this special time with each one!
These sessions aren't just for mommy! If baby has older siblings, be sure to include them in the photos. It's a great time to snag some amazing family shots while celebrating this special new life.
Laugh your way through the session. There is nothing more beautiful than happy faces! Let your family know in advance that the goal is to have a great time and make happy memories.
Wear simple or plain clothing with elaborate details that are delicate. Don't overwhelm with bold stripes. Bold colors are great, stripes can be harsh and widen the look of your figure. Floor length maxi dresses are incredibly comfortable, and photograph beautifully.
Make sure you schedule your photos at the right time of day. The golden hour before sunset is ideal, but early weekend mornings are lovely also.
Location, location, location. Choose a spot that suits your style. Love the city? Take photos at your favorite spots (bakery, cafe, alley ways, corner stores.) Love the country? (barns, corn cribs, fields, mountain streams, river beds). Find spots that resonate with your personal passions and style.
Bring props with meaning. Tiny shoes that baby will wear, heirloom pieces, hand-me-downs from a special family member... Bring things that reflect how special this baby is to your family. Including potential baby names is also a fun way to document the name you have chosen for your sweetie.
And above all else, JUST HAVE FUN. If you are having fun, it will show. Photos shouldn't be stressful!
