Poor Little Cutie | Indianapolis Baby Photographer

Mr. M was teething so we weren’t able to get the smiles I know he is capable of! I’ll definitely be making another trip out there soon. I don’t give up that easily!

Even being tired and in all that pain, he was still so adorable and he gave me all kinds of smiles as long as I wasn’t holding the camera. Can’t wait to see him again! Thanks B & G for a great time. :) You have a great family!

That Baby Smell | Shelbyville Baby Photographer

Oh my gosh. I love it. That sweet powdery scent that only babies possess. I wanted to spend more time holding this little angel than photographing her! She was just too precious with all of that hair! Other than me letting her conk her head on the dining room table, we got along really well (still sorry about that!). So not only was this little girl beautiful, but her name starts with an A just like my munchkins! I seriously thought about abandoning all of my equipment, grabbing Miss A and dashing for the door when her mom wasn’t looking. Then I decided that may not turn out so well in the end. I’ll just hope for another session! :) I promise, I’m not crazy!

I had a great time with you guys-thanks for allowing me into your home!

Some Big Changes

Nicole — Mon, 03 May 2010 02:38:26 +0000

Photography is such a passion for me. Babies are too (I would keep having them if I could!). I have made the decision to only focus on portraits for maternity and babies up to one year old. It’s scary to make this kind of change, but very exciting also!

To prepare for my new focus, I need to get some new faces for the site. I am offering a drastic discount for a limited time only! $200 will net you an on-location session followed by a disc complete with 15 full-resolution edited images. You will also receive a 5×7 print of each image.

To qualify for this, you must be pregnant or have a baby that is one year old or younger and you must be willing to sign a model release.

It’s Been Awhile!

My life has been all over the place lately so updating the blog hasn’t happened! Here are a few photos of my little ones just cause they’re super cute. :) The kitty is our latest addition. He’s fitting in quite nicely.

Aaargh! | Shelbyville Newborn Photographer

This little cutie was not a big fan of being naked, but his mom’s space heater worked like a charm! Knocked him right out. Great thinking Mom! I hope to get back soon and photograph the whole family – and meet baby K’s big brother! Here is a little sneak peek for you guys.

K has already decided he’s going to be a pirate for Halloween, and he was busy practicing his look:

I barely felt like I worked at this session. After threatening to bust out my fart machine (ha!), this guy had no problems striking a pose. He tried to play the typical I-have-better-things-to-do-than-take-photos role, but I could see right through it. :) D’s parents were so cool and hospitable (thank you!), I didn’t want the shoot to end! Hope you guys like the sneak peek!

Some Recents of the A’s | Indianapolis Child Photographer

The Tow house has been busy busy busy lately. We had a joint birthday party for the older two. Audra turned 4 at the end of August, and Aidan will be 6 in a few days! Plus, my birthday was a week and a half ago (it was great!). And my Dad’s birthday was yesterday! Happy Birthday Dad! It’s been a lot of fun though. It’s so great spending all of these precious moments with our family now that we’re back home in Indiana. This is what I’d always looked forward to – and now we have it!

So, in light of all of the birthday fun, I thought I’d share some recent portraits of my sweeties. Knock on wood, but I think they are actually having fun with it now! No more breakdowns or eye rolling! Like all models though, they do require payment. Just last night, I allowed Aidan to stay up and watch the Nascar race. Ha!

Without further ado….

And even though his birthday isn’t for a few more months, I had to include a few of the baby. And yes, his shoes are on the wrong feet. He likes it that way! :)

Miss Fashionista | Mooresville Senior Photographer

So, I show up at this session and Miss J had all kinds of cute & fun clothes picked out! You only see two here but she had a lot more. :) And not only that, she’s super smart! (Currently 3rd in her class!) I’m so excited because her mom showed me a new location to shoot at, and it is beautiful! I’m already scheming OUR family photo session haha (whenever that’s gonna happen!). It took a little bit to bring out her attitude, but once she got going, she had no problem (my kind of girl!!). So, I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

Had to keep the title PG ya know!

Today’s session was so much fun! It rained earlier in the day but we had perfect skies and it was almost too sunny during the shoot. Awesome! We started out with some studio stuff and I was totally pushing my luck with the weather. It was nice but I wanted the sun to go down a bit more. Thankfully the rain never came so we were okay. So anyway, H is totally into photography which was nice because he came up with some great poses! And he didn’t once say, “are we done yet?!”. I talked he and his mom’s ears off (sorry about that!) but they were polite and listened lol. You know, my hubby only listens for so long before his eyes glaze over and I start getting the “oh yeah”s and “mmhmmm”s. So I torture all other adults I find with my babbling. Lucky them!!

Okay, so the title is for one particular moment in the session. I could get him to smile (easy) and give me a closed-mouth smile, but I wanted him to give me his tough look. Well, he kept cracking up! It was too funny. Guess you had to be there….. ;)

I could show a ton of his pics (love them!), but here are just a few as a sneak peek:

10 Little Piggies Part 2 | Greenwood Baby Photographer

Well, I said I was going back to take some outdoor shots but wouldn’t you know it-another rainstorm! And it was a beautiful day all the way up until then too. It was okay though because I set up my studio and we got some more great shots. I could just shoot this little darling all.day.long. So here are a few from our second session!
