Ford Family

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to meet a cute family at the Indianapolis Museum of Art for some family pictures.  We were very concerned with the chance of rain, so I was glad that it all worked out!

Without further adieu….

Meet the Ford Family!

Elise, the sweet baby girl… was a challenge!  But we worked it out :)

While I was taking some pictures of the other two kiddos, Mommy and Daddy were trying to entertain Elise!

  

 

Who else does Elise have to play with?

Her big brother Landen!

 

And both Elise and Landen have a BIG sister Ava!

 

They were such a fun family!  Up for anything, absolutely gorgeous and in no hurry to get done, which is always nice for me :)

Thank you Bruce, Jamie, Ava, Landen and Elise!  I had a wonderful time photographing your family!  You guys are just too cute!

Candy and Kids

I received a call from a lady recently that I’ve never met.  She said that there was a lady at her church that is terminally ill with Cancer.  After having her children later in life, she was blessed with a set of triplet BOYS that are now 4 years old!

With the days ahead being given to her by the grace of God, one of her last ‘wishes’ was to have some nice family photos taken of her with her sons, so they will know how much she loved them when she’s gone.

Do you have a Kleenex yet?  Because you’re going to need one.

Meet Candy, Abraham, Noah and Daniel…

If you were to see her on the street, you would never know that her health is declining.

If you were to spend a few minutes watching her with her boys, you would find out exactly how much she loves them.

If you were to listen to her speak, you’d quickly learn that she takes absolutely nothing for granted.

This woman is a beautiful.

Courageous.

A fighter.

And loves God.

Which is a pretty remarkable thing to be able to do, given her circumstances.

 

Each of the boys said they like it when their mommy reads them a book.  So they all ran in the house together and picked out their favorite book for her to read to them.

I hope moments like these are etched in their minds forever.

I don’t think I can adequately explain what it meant to me to spend the small amount of time that I did with a woman that was more powerful than she even knows.

After only 45 minutes in her presence, I realized that she is absolutely an angel…

…waiting to get her wings.       

Kyle + Holly + Carli + Cambri + Kynli

Many of you have become acquainted with Holly through my blog over the past several years.

After getting married last September, they are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their sweet little peanut.

 

Although they are not due until early October, they were excited to have some maternity photos taken before her baby shower this weekend.

…and obviously – I was excited to take them.

Although Carli has 6 years of experience with being a “BIG SISTER” … Cambri is very excited to be promoted from little sister to big sister!

 

And once Kynli gets here, they’re family will be complete!

 

I can’t wait to meet you sweet girl!         

Joe + Kristi + Josie + Lucas

A couple of years ago, I got to meet this fun family for a photo shoot and we had a wonderful time.

This year, Kristi asked me if I would photograph her entire family, and I quickly set up a time.

So, the date came, and we all met at the cute little cabin where I love to photograph.

Josie led her Mamaw Diana back to the cabin.  It’s pretty obvious that Josie looooves her some Mamaw :).

Once we got back to the cabin, Josie’s brother Lucas joined the picture with the grandparents.

Josie and Lucas are lucky enough to have GREAT Grandparents that joined us for an evening of pictures too! 

And who do these cute little kids belong to?

Say hi to Kristi and Joe!

 

Kristi’s mom even joined us for some fun!  I hope Kristi isn’t worried about how well she’ll age when she’s older.  Look how cute her mom is!

 

    

 

Thank you so much for asking me to photograph your WHOLE family!!!

Photographing extended families is one of my favorite things to do.  I know you will cherish photos like this for many years to come.
