When you move to a new place (or in my case an old place that is all the sudden new again)…making friends is hard.  A part you kind of goes through that whole high school thing where you are trying desperately to see where you fit in and just pray that you don’t end up eating alone at the lunch table.  Luckily for me I have the world’s best sister-in-law who took me under her wing and introduced me to some truly awesome people.  A year ago I would have sworn to you I’d never make friends and was going to drink wine alone on my patio forever.  But as I sit here now, I feel so incredibly lucky to have made some really amazing friends.  One of which is Meghan.  Who is quite possibly the kindest, sweetest person alive.  So when Kaitlyn was born and she asked me to take newborn photos I was not only so excited but incredibly flattered.  Their family couldn’t be more perfect and I’m so honored that I got to document this perfect time in their lives.  Without further adieu…meet Kaitlyn.

Having a big brother is sort like a badge of honor.  You make it through the formidable years with a few dents and dings (possibly a few broken bones but that’s a story for another day) – but you end up with something that no one else in the world could ever be to you.  It’s like somehow along the way this person who beat you up and stole all your treats becomes some weird mixture of best friend and family that is just the best.  The only thing better that one big brother…is two.  Georgia doesn’t even know it yet but she will be the most loved, protected, probably beat up a little too…but treasured little girl in the world.  And she will love those boys with everything she has.

 

Georgie girl…you are a little angel and have made your family perfectly complete.  Keep those boys wrapped around your little finger and never forget that your brothers love you more than anything.  🙂

Have I mentioned I love being back in Indy?!  It has been so fun to connect with old friends and I absolutely love getting the chance to document so many new and exciting times in their lives!!  Stefanie and I went to high school together and…let’s just say a while ago because I still am not willing to admit just how many years have passed.  We used to sit in Chemistry class (shout out to Miss Champion) next to each other and literally never stopped laughing.  It was the best.  Fast forward to today and she’s expecting her first baby with her awesome husband, Casey…and catching up with her the other day was literally like no time has passed.  Crazy how that happens.  Anyways…here’s a few of my favorites from their session.  Stefanie and Casey…I’m so happy for you guys!!!!  xo

So there are smiley babies…and then there is Nora.  Something tells me she is going to be a star because the girl knows how to work a camera!  She very rarely took her eyes off me and would literally smile every chance she got!  It was honestly the cutest thing ever.  And on top of it all, I got the chance to hang out with one of my very favorite families.  I’ve had the privilege of documenting Erin and Blair’s family as it continues to grow.  From their first pregnancy to Nolan growing into such sweet little boy to Nora making her entrance into this world.  It’s always my favorite when I get a chance to see them and capture all those special little life moments.  And it doesn’t hurt that they make extremely cute babies.  🙂

 

But enough from me.  Here’s a little look at Nora’s 6 month in-home lifestyle session.

There is something so special about doing maternity photos when it’s your second (or third, or so on) pregnancy.  Having another little one around just makes them so sentimental.  Those precious moments before they become a big brother or big sister.  That short time when you’re a family of 3…soon to be a party of 4.  I just love it.  And there is something even MORE special when that family is one of your absolute favorites!  I’ve known Annie for longer than I am willing to admit.  She was there the night I had my first dirty martini (and oh what a night it was).  We’ve closed down Vegas and spent way too many nights together that quickly became mornings.  And while I really had nothing to do with it (even though I like to pretend it was all my doing), I was there the night she met Brett.  <3  We’ve spent countless hours together laughing and while we may not have realized it then…growing up together.  It’s crazy the places life takes us but I’m so beyond grateful I get to be there to document it.

 

Annie and Brett will be welcoming a fourth to their crew in a few short weeks and I just honestly couldn’t love them more.
