Another great session from earlier this summer! This family has spent lots of time behind my camera and I always have so much fun with them! These boys are so happy and sweet and oh-so-photogenic and I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
Kiel Family,
Thank you so much for spending your evening with me and letting me photograph your sweet boys. I enjoy every session with you guys and look forward to many more in the future!
Until next time!

Earlier this summer, the Bates family and I met up in downtown Carmel on a beautiful morning for this family session. These kids...I tell you what. They're two of the sweetest kiddos! Super expressive, super happy, and super smart. Hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed this session!
Bates Family,
You know I love you guys! I genuinely look forward to our time together and hearing all the funny things that Vivian has to say! Can't wait to watch these kiddos grow up behind my camera in future sessions.
Until next time!

Another session from earlier this summer! Allison is a coworker and friend of mine and I was SO excited when she asked me to photograph their sweet little family of three! Jackson is at the adorable age of 6 months in these shots and in a few short months, I'll be photographing him at 1 year! Time is flying! Enjoy a flashback to this session :)
Bauman Family,
Thank you so much for trusting me with these important photos of Jackson and your family! This age is always one of my favorites to photograph and you all made it even more fun!
Until next time!

Whoa, I'm behind on blogging! This is a session from WAY back in the summer, but still worth sharing. The Wheelock family and I battled multiple reschedules due to crazy rain storms, but we finally got together on a beautiful evening in Zionsville. These girls are super sweet and warmed up so easily to the camera. Enjoy!
Wheelock Family,
Thank you so much for trusting me with your family photos again this year. I so enjoyed spending time with you and look forward to continuing to watch the girls grow in future sessions!
Until next time!

My first session of what's shaping up to be a busy Spring season! Emily & Jared are related to a family whom I absolutely adore and have photographed many times in the past; because of this, I knew this would be such a fun session! The weather was perfect and Theodore was quite the little ham for the camera. Enjoy!
Harts Family,
Thank you so much for trusting me with your family photos and photos of sweet Theodore. He is an absolute doll and I loved watching him cheese it up for the camera! Can't wait for more sessions with you all in the future and watching little man grow from behind the camera :)
Until next time!

My first newborn session of 2017 was a fun one! Miss Claire Carter Ridenour arrived a few weeks early so I got to meet her a little earlier than planned :). She was such a gem for all of these photos and big sister Olivia did such a great job helping and holding Claire for their shots together. Can't wait to watch these girls grow up together! Enjoy!
Brooke & Colin,
Thank you so much for trusting me with these photos of your newest addition. Claire is absolutely perfect and Olivia is, well, even better than she was last time we met. :) Enjoy these new moments as a family of 4!
Until next time!
Molly
So excited to bring this session to you today! These photos are from WAY back in the fall, but who doesn't need a reminder of nice, warm, autumn weather on a cold, dreary January day? :) These two families hold a very special place in my heart. I have been privileged enough to photograph lots of family milestones for each and look forward to continued sessions in 2017! Prepare yourselves for some serious cousin-love!
Kristi, Kanda, Baxter, and Brandon,
Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your photos again in 2016! I hope you know how much I look forward to our sessions and seeing your smart, sassy little girls! Looking forward to more fun in 2017!
Until next time!

Baby James came into this world on November 20 and not even a week later, we had our first introduction! I knew this little man would be special because 'James' is one of my favorite names (which makes me sad, seeing as we can likely never use it ourselves...James Jones, anyone? Don't think so!). Anyway, this little guy was such a dream for his session and big sister Vivian was equally as adorable and helpful :). Enjoy!
Rachelle & Landry,
As always, I so enjoyed photographing your family in 2016! Congrats on your [now 2-month old] bundle of joy. He is truly a gift.
Until next time!
Molly
Another throw back to the fall of 2016! I was SO excited when my coworker, Kelley, asked me to photograph her little family. Ethan is one of those kids you meet and think, I MUST TAKE YOUR PHOTOS. After a very brief moment of shyness, he was quite the little ham and such a trooper after stepping in a large puddle just moments into the session. Beautiful child + beautiful parents + beautiful weather = a GREAT session! Enjoy!
^^ I mean, seriously?
Kelley & Josh,
Thank you so much for allowing me to capture these photos for you in 2016. I hope all your days of 2017 look half as happy as Ethan does in the photo above :)
Until next time!

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!

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!
Molly
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!
Molly
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!

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
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!

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!
Molly
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!

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
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
Okay, I have to admit: this may have been one of my favorite sessions of all time! A couple of weeks ago, Perrie, her mom Lisa, and I got together for Perrie's Senior Session. If you recognize her, it's probably from some AMAZING track races in Delaware County (she's headed to Butler next year to run as a bulldog!) or you may have seen her in the newspaper recently, hailed as "the total package." Either way, Perrie Smalley is one special gal and I hope her I was able to capture that in these photos! She had so many unique ideas and outfits, so this session was a BLAST! Enjoy!
Perrie & Lisa,
Thank you SO much for allowing me to capture these photos for you! I hope you had as much fun as I did. Thanks for being flexible, changing in the car :), and bringing some super unique and fun vibes to the session! Perrie, you've got big things ahead and I'm honored to have been a small part of your transition to college life!
Until next time!
Molly
