Birth, Newborn, & Family Photography | Greater Indianapolis, IN

Can we please make Fresh 48 sessions a thing again?! It seems like ever since that dreaded 2020 era that shall not be named…they have been much less common for me lately. But when Abby reached out about scheduling Fresh 48 photos at Riley Maternity Tower following the birth of their very first baby, I […]

Lifestyle newborn portrait with mom and big brothers in the nursery

How sweet is this little fam! My favorite part about this newborn session, aside from how perfectly angelic miss Norah was the entire time, was getting to see her big bros in their element! I had actually taken family photos for them in the fall…or maybe I should say I ATTEMPTED to take their family […]

Cammi was my first little model to try out some new summer outfits from SpearmintLove! Those little green bloomers…I meeeean. I gotta get […]

I have been meeting so many gorgeous baby girls over the past few months and I’m not mad about it! Getting to hang out with Matt, Colleen, and baby Juliette in their beautiful Zionsville home was seriously such a treat. When Colleen reached out to book their session and told me a bit of their […]

In home newborn session with dog

Words don’t do justice to this sweet newborn session at home with Benny the goldendoodle baby Norah! 🙂 I can’t even deal with the cuteness. Anyone who knows me knows I have a soft spot for babies and dogs together in one photo, and Benny and Norah did not disappoint! Norah is my niece so […]

There is just something extra sweet about the authenticity of in-home newborn sessions. They are beautifully imperfect and filled with genuine snuggles, laughter, and the occasional craziness (we are being authentic here, after all). I know it can feel overwhelming to think about preparing your home and family for a photographer to come over–especially while […]

indianapolis birth photography

Being an Indianapolis doula and birth photographer is always a pretty cool gig. As a doula, supporting and empowering a family through their pregnancy and birth is an incredible honor each and every time.

Baby girl in crib

There’s just something about in-home newborn photography sessions that will always have my heart. Marley’s session was definitely no exception! She’s also extra special because she was born on my own baby’s first birthday. 😉 Is there anything sweeter than those first weeks as a family of three?? These moments always take me back to […]

Indiana hospital birth photography by Mackenzie Thada

I had the absolute honor of supporting Phil and Katy through the birth of their second baby as both their doula and birth photographer. Despite a few extra restrictions amidst Covid-19, our hospital system and amazing midwives allowed my presence in the room being a certified doula, for which we were all so grateful! Katy’s […]
