This Elkhart, Indiana shoot is one of my favorite in-home newborn sessions to date! I am so thankful for every single one of you that continues to invite me into the most precious moments of life.

It was so fun including the whole family in this maternity session. Why not? Come to think of it, I can’t really think of any maternity sessions that I’ve seen that DO include the whole family, and I can’t think of one reason not to make this the normal.

I really love a newborn photography session that takes place in the comfort of home. Maybe it’s just me, but getting out of the house with my newborns felt like a daunting herculean effort. Hiring a photographer to come to me and take photos of us in our own environment felt like a no-brainer. This session, and this session are more proof of that.

When you really love the beach look for your family photos, but you don’t want to travel the hour to Lake Michigan, I have got you covered. Right here in Mishawaka, we have the most lovely, perfect place for family pictures… if you don’t mind a short, beautiful hike. The sand, water and grasses are the perfect backdrop for pictures of you, your littles, or your bigs. Your kids might even get to see a deer, swing on a rope swing or skip some rocks.
