Children Photography, Family Photography, Indianapolis Indiana, Shelbyville Photography After a long few months of Covid 19 quarantine, Spring 2020 was finally here and I was ready to photograph all the families in Shelbyville Indiana.   One of my favorite families had received great news during the pandemic time...Mr. Avery was now a part of their family and will always be!   The Nobbe Family has been a client of mine for few years now, each year we spend a fun afternoon of me photographing them being a family.

Family Photography, Children Photography, Portrait Photography, Central Indiana Photographer You guys!  Im so excited to share these sneak peeks of Brooke and Callen's Mommy and Me Portrait session!  Let's take a look at a few favorite things that made this session gorgeous!  Lighting The lighting for this session was AMAZING!  I always try and start my photo sessions at least 1.5 hours before sunset.  This time of day in the photography world is called The Golden Hour.  It gives off a reddish and softer glow and makes everything colorful, shadows are less dark on your clients  and highlights are less likely to be overexposed, giving you a awesome photo!

Also, stay away from totally matching. You can coordinate, but matching is not real life. -Make s...
