This is one of those "pinch me" moments. What was once a far-fetched dream is now hundreds of realities. The fact that this doesn’t even scratch the surface of what all 2025 was... There are a lot of emotions I feel when I look back at these images: joy, excitement, shock, reverence, grief, relief, optimism, triumph... but if I had to choose just one word to sum up what I'm feeling, it would be gratitude. Look at all of these beautiful people. I've made so many friends along

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Family session time! This time, the Petersen family met me right after ball practice and right before a ball game. Whew! Life is like that right now. That’s why these moments in front of the camera are so important. When I look back at the framed sessions on my wall, I don’t remember the chaos or the tight schedules.

I wish this post had audio because I would open it up with my best NANT INGONYAMA BAGITHI BABA! And then to proceed to show you the image of Dillon holding up Amelia like Simba. Ah, yes. The circle of life. Or in my case, the circle of photography. You see, Brooke and Dillon are one of my adorable wedding couples. Their day was springtime wedding gold and now that they've expanded their family by one cub, it only makes sense that we update the family portrait! So we headed

If you can believe it, this session was done this week, not back in October. When we first booked this session, Amy wondered if there would still be leaves on the trees. I was cautiously optimistic, but WOW! What an incredible Autumn background we had here at the end of November! Southern Indiana can be pretty cool like that sometimes... Speaking of cool, this is the  family, guys. I've known this group for pretty much my entire life and they really are just the coolest bunch
