Family - {personal}

{ I don't normally do many personal posts, but I really wanted to share this one. }

The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.

My family is some of my favorite people to be with in the world. No matter the age or relation to me, I always enjoy spending time with my siblings,cousins, aunts, uncle's, grandparents, and "greats" too.

Your family are the people who know your quirks and oddities and accept you all the more for it. Well, and a few laughs about it come too. :) You can laugh together, cry together, and hug just because. There are personal jokes and games that people outside your family would think completely odd.

Your family are the people who are always there for you. They can tell when your sad, excited about something, or in a downright bad mood.

Above anything else - your family are the people who will love you no matter what.

I love my family so much, imperfections and all.

Here are some photos featuring some of the people I love....

Addi {my cousin} and Me

Don't ask me, I don't know what was so funny! lol

Leah{my sister} and Monica {my cousin}

Maddy {my sister} and Monica {my cousin}

Addi {my cousin} and Leah {my sister}

Maddy {my sister} and Addi {my cousin}

My beautiful sister Leah. She is fun and thought to be the "quiet" one but she is not to people who know her. She is an excellent artist; she can draw very well. She's the Converse wearing girl in the family. :)

Madeline - my sister who loves music. She plays piano and guitar, loves flowers, poetry, baking and vintage things.

Addi, my cousin, always seems to have a giant smile on her face. She loves bright colors, Converse shoes, laughing and wearing mismatched socks. :)

Gorgeous smile Addi!

Monica, my cousin is actually pretty funny. We have so many personal jokes that we drive the family crazy with. She can tend to be a matchmaker so watch out to anyone who knows her. (lol)

Caught ya being soft and serious, Monica. Well, I still see a hint of a smile!

My sister Madeline got this shot of me. Well, you all know who I am! I like this one though because it actually shows my happy, fun side. I'm so serious in most pictures that I really needed one with a big grin on my face because if you see me I'm normally laughing or smiling. :)

Prancing off together in the sunset....
ha!

Karly and Ryan - Central Indiana Couple Photographer

Last fall Karly and Ryan asked me to take some pictures of them together. I was excited and happy to do it since I hadn't done many couples before. We found some great spots and it was quite an eventful day. It was super cold but they stuck it out resulting in some great pictures of the two of them.

I've got some new sessions that I will be posting within the next few days!

It's warming up and that spring feel is in the air so if you are ready to book a session shoot me an email.

Don't forget to enter my Spring Giveaway for your chance to win a free session + more goodies!

Zack - Central Indiana Senior Photography

Here is senior session from last fall. I enjoyed getting to work with Zack; he was a lot of fun and pretty much up for anything!! I loved getting to use one of my favorite locations for his session - an old building near my house. He was a perfect model and so relaxed and natural in front of the camera for a guy! It was a gorgeous day too, and with all this snow around these pictures make me miss fall days!
Here are just a few of my favorites from the session.
