Edmondson Family

Alright! Christmas is finished, everyone's cards are mailed so I can finally start posting some of the sessions from this fall! I once posted a photo that a family was going to use for their Christmas card and felt really bad about it, so I like to wait now. However, that results in being SUPER backlogged on blog posts. So prepare yourself, there are many posts to come!

The Edmondson family and I met back in late August on a really, really crappy day. The weather looked ominous all morning, but Mom, Tara, wanted to give it a shot, so we met in Fishers under very cloudy conditions. I'm not kidding you: as SOON as I parked my car, it's like the heavens opened and we got SLAMMED with rain. Not just a sprinkle here and there; I'm talking downpour.  We waited for probably 20 minutes (a testament to these wonderfully patient children) and finally the skies cleared for a short time and we got to take some photos. If you're wondering how this session, ended, though, here's a sneak peek:

I mean, I can't really blame them. Driving to Fishers + waiting for the rain to stop + taking photos for 45 minutes + running back after it started raining again. If it wasn't so darn funny, I might've reacted the same way.

Alright, here are the real photos from our shoot. :) Enjoy!

Edmondson Family, 

Thank you so much for trusting me with your photos again in 2016! It's always a blast to hang out with you and your kiddos--no matter the weather ;) Here's to sunny skies for our 2017 session!

Until next time!

Craig Family

I love photographing the same families year to year, but I also LOVE meeting new families, especially those with kids as adorable as the Craig boys! Noah and Connor were so much fun and totally put up with me making them traipse through a recently-mowed, very uneven field for these photos :). Enjoy!

WARNING: Best.hair.ever. Coming up.

Parents: PLEASE continue to get photos of just you two together! I don't have children yet, but I think this is SO important! :)

Craig Family,

It was SO great spending the afternoon with you a few weeks ago. Thank you for trusting me with photos of your family. I had a great time with you all and look forward to more fun shoots with Connor and Noah as they grow! 

Until next time!

Lila Joy: Newborn

I'm so excited to have another member of the Timmons Family to photograph! Sweet Lila did so well for her first official photo session and big brother Isaiah was a big helper and very patient while sister stole the camera :).  Enjoy!

Timmons Family,

Thank you so much for a) having another child ;) and b) allowing me to capture this sweet girl's first photos!  I have loved every opportunity to work with your family and look forward to watching both Lila and Isaiah grow from behind the camera! :)

Until next time!

Rector Family

Another great session from this summer!  Nicole & Bryan have entrusted me with their family's photos more than five times now and it's always so much fun to spend time with them all! These two kiddos are so adorable and I have loved watching them grow.  Gabby got a special treat this time around when we shot some photos of her in Nicole's wedding dress and Jack got to take some photos with his latest obsession! 3...2...1...prepare for cuteness. :)

Okay, backstory for the following flag-themed pictures. Nicole mentioned when we all arrived to this session that Jack is obsessed with flags. As in, points-out-every-flag-he-sees, keep-toy-flags-in-the-diaper-bag kind of obsessed.  So, of course, wanting to capture this [unusual] obsession, we photographed some sweet photos of Jack...in a flag shirt...with some flags. :)

And now for Miss Gabby in mama's wedding dress.  These were so much fun to do and Gabs was such a trooper in the heat! 

Rector Family,

It means so much to me that you continue to trust me with your capturing these memories of your family! I look forward to continuing watching Gabby & Jack grow! 

Until next time!

McCashland Family

Admission/Captain Obvious Statement: I am WAY behind on posts. Rather than stress about getting everything uploaded, I've decided to do "mini" posts from some of my sessions this summer! The McCashland Family and I met in Fishers back in June (I told you...BEHIND) and I LOVED photographing them (I mean, look at them? EASY.). Enjoy!

McCashland Family,

Thanks for spending the afternoon with me and for allowing me to photograph sweet Mya. Your love for one another is so transparent--it's a beautiful thing!

Until next time!

Molly

Lee Family

Happy Monday! (Is that a thing?)  Looking forward to a beautiful week this week and I'm doing my best to catch up on all these blog posts that are long overdue :). Next up: the Lee family! You may have seen these guys before because this is the FIFTH time I've photographed them!  Sweet Landry was just a few days old when we first met and he just gets cuter every time I see him. Harper is still the best big sister and Katie and Dustin are just as photogenic as ever ;). Enjoy!

Lee Family,

Thank you so much for taking the time to come down for photos. It is always a blast with you all and I've loved watching your kiddos grow up from behind my camera.  Looking forward to our next one!

Until next time!

Cole Ryan: Newborn

Baby Cole has arrived!  While Ally, Ryan, and puppy Harley and I met a few months ago for maternity photos, Cole & I had the privilege of meeting each other just a few weeks ago for these newborn photos.  He was absolutely perfect for the entire session!  One of my favorite parts about newborn sessions is that these babies are NEW. They are new to the world, obviously, but they are even more new for first time parents. And hearing Ally & Ryan "ooh" and "ahh" in their amazement at baby Cole was just so, so sweet.  Enjoy, you guys. This is one cute baby.

Ally, Ryan, Harley, & Cole,

Thank you so much for trusting me with these precious first photos of your family! It has been so wonderful getting to know you all and I look forward to many more sessions together in the future. Snuggle up with Cole & Harley and enjoy every minute of life as new parents!

Until next time!

Reid Family

Every year I get the chance to photograph this adorable family and it is always SO much fun.  Meet Nickella, Brandon, Boston, and Berkley! You may have seen them in previous posts, but I'm excited to share this session with you because, this year, BOTH sets of grandparents were able to join in!  I LOVE when photos become generational; they make such a lasting memory for everyone involved.  Enjoy, guys!

And then, Berkley attacked her brother with grape chapstick. And it was adorable.

Reid Family,

Thank you so much for again giving me the privilege of photographing you and your extended family this year.  Being around you all always brings a smile to my face and I look forward to more sessions with you all in the future.  Thanks for raising such sweet, loving kiddos, too :)

Until next time!

Molly

Gasser Family

In the days leading up to my shoot with the Gasser family, it POURED. As in, rain-every-day-everything-is-soaked kind of pouring.  We crossed our fingers for the morning of our shoot, hoping that most of it had passed.  Not only did we get lucky with sunny, dry weather, but everything was SO GREEN! Gavin was such a sweetheart and, MAN, is he photogenic (to no one's surprise--look at his parents!).  Enjoy!

Natalie, Jeff, & Gavin,

Thank you so much for allowing me to capture these photos for you all! Your love for each other is so obvious in these photos and I look forward to more opportunities to photograph you all in the future! :) 

Until next time!

Molly

Feltman Family

Last month, this sweet boy and I got to spend some time together to celebrate his first birthday and capture this milestone at his family's new home! I photographed Colin's newborn & 6 month photos and it's been so fun to watch him grow up into this sweet little chunk over the past year! :) Enjoy!

Janelle, Dan, Colin, (& Cooper!), 

Thank you so much for trusting me with capturing this milestone in Colin's life!  It has been wonderful getting to know you and I look forward to watching Colin grow more and more from behind my camera! :)

Until next time!

Molly

Linch Family

I have photographed this family for several years now and let me tell you guys, I have LOVED watching these boys from behind the camera.  Austin is such an attentive big brother for Brody and watching Brody grow to idolize Austin has been so adorable.  Last year, Brody was still a little timid for photos, but this year? As a big 2 year old? He was LOVING it.  It was so sweet how both boys loved to cheese for the camera! But enough of me talking...enjoy!

These photos were taken at Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park, where Lisa and Justin got married a little over 7 years ago.  They have a wedding photo kissing on this bridge, so it was super special to recreate this moment with their two kiddos so many years later!

Linch Family,

I hope you know how much I love photographing you all and really just spending that time with your boys.  They are so much fun and always so sweet.  I look forward to more sessions in our future and watching Brody & Austin grow!

Until next time!

Molly

Bates Family

The Bates family and I had a beautiful day for photos last month!  It was so fun to see Vivian again after her newborn photos 6 months ago!  She has turned into one sweet, beautiful, and VERY easy going little girl--the perfect combination for photo-taking :).  Enjoy!

Rachelle & Landry,

Thank you so much for allowing me to capture photos of your sweet family!  It has been so fun to watch Vivian grow and I can't wait for more opportunities in the future!

Until next time!

Molly

Pace Family

The Pace Family and I had one SUPER hot day for photos a few weeks ago, but these four were troopers through the heat!  Lainey and Aubrey are twins who truly, truly love each other (as in, no cueing required for hugging photos with these two!) and their parents clearly love them both so much.  Enjoy!

Pace Family,

It was so nice meeting you all and spending the afternoon capturing these moments of your beautiful family! I look forward to more opportunities in the future!

Until next time!

Molly

Emily Nicole: Newborn

I've been fortunate enough to photograph this family a few times prior to this session and we always get some great shots!  Miss Emily is such a cutie who she was so great for our session and she has such a great sister in Hailey, who was quite the curious helper during our time together :).  Enjoy, everyone!

Kara & Tim,

Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph you all again.  Emily was such a pleasure to photograph and I look forward to watching her grow up in our future sessions together!

Until next time!

Molly

Gibson Family

The Gibson family is very near and dear to my heart.  I met Katie as my supervisor for my medical externship almost over 4 years ago when she was just coming back from maternity leave after having her first child, Sam.  Now, with the addition of Caroline, the Gibson family is always a group I look forward to photograph!  Enjoy!

I had two very faithful helpers.  Sam was insistent upon carrying my "lunch box" and Caroline was willing to carry one of my lenses cases until it got too heavy. :)

Gibson family,

I hope that these photos are a great representation of your family.  I always enjoy my time with you and I'm so thankful that life brought us together in the way that it did! 

Until next time!

Molly

Newport Family

When I first met the Newport family a few years ago, I encountered one of the most fun-loving, energetic, LITERALLY up-for-anything families.  Then, with two sweet & super spunky boys, Amy & Andrew were perfect examples of adults who know how to both parent and befriend their children.  Now, with their newest addition Abby Rose, this family continues to be as fun-loving and energetic as before.  Enjoy!

Look out, Abby! It's going to be a wild ride with these brothers of yours! :)

The following are Ben's depictions of 4/5 emotions from the Inside Out cast :) Meet Fear, Joy, Disgust, & Sadness.  Love when kids have ideas for photos!

Newport Family,

You know how much I love your boys and I love how much Abby already fits in with their energy! I can't wait to watch her grow up with her brothers!

Until next time!

Molly

DeNeal Family

Hang in there, folks...LOTS of photos ahead!  I thoroughly enjoy photographing this family--they're easy going, up for anything, and, obviously, super photogenic.  Eleanor & Eli love to ham it up for the camera and, with a little fruit snack-assisted persuasion, we got some great shots of their spunky personalities :).  Enjoy!

Introducing: Eleanor!  Elijah needed a little break from photos, so we took that time to photograph big sister all by herself :)

DeNeal Family,

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to photograph you all again this year!  I have loved watching your kiddos grow up from behind the camera!

Until next time!

Molly

Tucker Family

I have been lucky enough to photograph this family since Miss Audrina was just a few days old!  We always have a great time together and they always have such creative ideas for photos.  Audrina was 12 months old for these photos and, after rescheduling due to some extremely hot temps, we ended up with a perfect day in Carmel to capture her sweetness :).  Enjoy!

Tucker Family,

I always look forward to our time together and this session did not disappoint! Thanks for being such a great example of strong, loving parenting--I love how your love for Audrina comes through in every photograph! 

Until next time!

Molly

Lee Family: Mini Session

Spent a warm afternoon with these guys for a quick mini session last month.  Harper & Landry are always so sweet and so incredibly photogenic.  We celebrated sweet Landry's 6 month birthday with these photos and he gave us lots of great smiles! Here are just a few shots from our time together.  Enjoy!

Lee Family,

Oh, how I look forward to our sessions together!  Thanks again for giving me the pleasure of photographing your children this year.  You're raising two beautiful, smart little kiddos!

Until next time!

Molly

Flees Family

Another great session with the Flees family.  I can't believe little Calvin is already 7 months old; it seems like yesterday we were taking his 3 month photos!  This was a HOT day, folks, but Calvin was quite the trooper.  Enjoy!

Flees Family,

It's always a pleasure getting together with you and capturing these special moments in Calvin's life!  He is growing into such a sweet, happy little man and that's only due to your love and admirable parenting.

Until next time!

Molly
