Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with some absolutely incredible photographers. Photography is an ever evolving and changing industry. There is nothing more enriching than learning along side of some incredible photographs. I regularly share my work and gain inspiration from my fellow newborn and baby photographers. I have also invested a lot in mentoring over the years as I learned my craft.

One of my favorite photographers is Janel Sealander with Janel Sealander Photography. Janel is continually pushing the boundaries of creative limits and taking her passion to soaring heights! From under water maternity fine art photos, to classic white cake smashes, to newborns, lifestyle family sessions, weddings and taking to the sky with her ever present drone her art knows know limits. It has been a real pleasure getting to know her as a master of her craft and dear friend.

Kennedy’s Newborn Photo Session 

Kennedy, oh sweet Kennedy, your newborn session inspired and challenged me in so many ways. Your mama requested all neutrals, white and cream for your newborn photos and I went totally blank. But I knew that your newborn photos just had to be special. So I ransacked my studio in Carmel Indiana, chopped up some fabric and sewed a little romper and bonnet just for you.
You were such a little angel to work with. You are the biggest baby girl I have ever had the privilege of photographing and you slept through every sleepy curly pose I asked you to do. From being all swaddled, to tucked in and curled up you rocked every photo.

I found a little lama while I was out shopping and just knew you had to snuggle it during your newborn session. Low and behold your mama brought you in and you already had a lama pacifier in your hands. Could not have been more sweet!

Enjoy sweet Kennedy’s newborn photos from her studio photo session in Carmel Indiana near Northern Indianapolis.

Gabby’s Newborn Photos

Sweet Gabrielle is already 9 weeks old! I will never turn away a baby for newborn photos regardless of age. Each newborn week has so many sweet and unique moments in it. Gabby rocked her newborn photos and slept through multiple poses. Gabrielle’s mommy and daddy and I have been friends for many years. I got to capture this sweet girls big moments from their pregnancy announcement, maternity pictures, newborn pictures right after birth and again for her 2 month newborn photos. She came in to my studio in Carmel Indiana with a full belly ready to rock out her newborn poses. She enjoyed being swaddled and fell right to sleep, though her mama swears she doesn’t usually like the swaddle. It was so sweet seeing this baby girl again! My very favorite part of photography is watching my littlest clients grow and grow!

3 years ago I had my very first anniversary photo session with Morgan’s sweet parents are her older brother Hunter. Fast-forward to last week and I had the pleasure of doing Morgan’s mini newborn photo session in my studio in Carmel Indiana.
Her session came complete with honors to her brothers newborn photos by incorporating his Turtle crotchet outfit that he never had the chance to use. We also incorporated stuffed animals and outfits that she was given at her baby shower.
At 3 weeks old Morgan slept the entire session and didn’t make a peep in 45 minutes. She loves being swaddled and cuddled. Her older brother has been doing his best to help out with her. He will feed her and rock her.
Morgan looks just like her daddy. I am looking forward to future sessions with her as she gets older! Take a look at her precious newborn photos below.

Sweet Harper’s Newborn Photo Session was just a dream! Her mama picked cream and bright flowers for her Newborn Photos and Harper could not have been more precious! Her older siblings were so excited to join in her newborn photos. They cuddled her, held her gently, and brought her a pacifier every time she made a peep. They kissed her head while snuggling in front of the window too.
We took a short break during our session for Harper to nurse and Hallie, her older sister, got to have her own mini photo shoot!
I was particularly excited for this session for a lot of different reasons and one of those is that I got to try a new pose with mom. This sweet pose picture below has mama snuggling her newborn baby up close to her cheek while her newborn sleeps. It is just the sweetest shot. We did a variation where dad jumped in too. 

Prior to my newborn photography sessions in my Carmel Indiana Studio barn I always have all of my setups lined up so we can move seamlessly from one to the next. After parent poses this sweet baby girl got to sleep with some wild sunflowers. She was thoroughly unimpressed so we moved on quickly after getting the shot. 

From there I rewrapped Harper for coral flower shots and snuggly coral fur shot. All in all Harper was an amazing sweet little model who gave me all the baby fever! I can’t wait to see her for her three month, six month and nine month milestone photo sessions.

Adalynn’s Newborn Photos

One of my favorite parts of newborn photography is getting to know people, and watching their sweet newborn babies grow. Tiffany reached out to me this past fall to do her newborn photos for their sweet rainbow baby. Adalynn’s big sister was so incredibly excited to have a baby of her own!

Tiffany had something extra special prepared for Adalynn’s newborn photos. She brought the cutest little outfits to my Carmel Indiana studio barn. One of them was purple with her name on it and a little name sign for her nursery. Her big sister even wore a big sister shirt too!

Throughout her newborn session Adalynn had just the cutest little smiles and expressions. She rocked her pink and purple session and didn’t make a peep the whole time!
