“Slow down & breathe it in. Everything we need t “Slow down & breathe it in. Everything we need that is truly important right now, is within the walls of the home. Everyday our children invite us to slow down with them. Accept the precious invitation. There will come a day in the not so distant future, when the roles will reverse & you’ll want nothing more than your child to accept your invite to slow down with you.“ 🤍🤍🤍 There are dozens upon dozens of the sweetest images from this in-home lifestyle family session to share.

Do you know what matters most when striving to rai Do you know what matters most when striving to raise a self-confident child? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * Your unconditional love, no matter what. * Being mindful of your words, they hold endless power. * Validating their feelings. * Listening to them, they need to feel heard & understood. * Giving them lots of time to play & be in nature, sunshine & fresh air. Be outside as much as possible! * Building life skills, let them help around the home daily. * Being a confident model for them to imitate. Appreciate your own body, mind & unique personality. * Strive to always be as calm & patient as possible with them. Pray daily for God to give you more patience! * Being kind & respectful to everyone you interact with. Emulate how you would want someone to treat your own family members. * Read books together, & also let them see you dive into books solo. More books, less screen time. * Pray together. Teach them to turn to God rather than the world. * Choose slowness over busyness. It’s in the slow pace where the special moments of life are found! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The small mindful interactions every single day, add up to a life of purpose & genuine joy. ****************************** Awwww the darling Howard family! @katrinadh thank you for inviting me into your home twice over the past year as your girls have grown. I adore the happiness & laughter we captured on film together! Your daughters are being surrounded by such tender love & are truly blessed to get to be raised in your home. Each image radiates true happiness! I also ♥️ the classic black/whites!
“And then she realized she was replaceable in ev “And then she realized she was replaceable in every area of her life except her home. So she invested her time, her energy & her heart wisely.” I believe that I’ll never do anything on this earth that has more VALUE than pouring into these 3 & their AMAZING daddy! I’m their home, comfort, creator of a peaceful atmosphere, safety & teacher. I get to spend my days with them as we homeschool & adventure together. I strive to always point them towards Jesus…even though I fail often, they will know what compassion, forgiveness & grace looks like. A profound realization that my motherhood will outlive me & WILL live in the future generations of my family forever, has changed how I plan our days, & my entire perspective on how I mother. The weight of that is heavy! How we intentionally raise them, affects so many future lives! We have chosen to live with less, so that we gain more TIME & memories together as a family. Less busy, more slowpaced so we don’t miss anything. Because in the end, I want to look back & know we preserved our young years to the fullest when we had our kids at home with us! I’m creating a home our children will always want to come home to, a friendship that lasts & a desire for our kids to want to replicate their own childhood for their future families. Being Rhett, Emmaline & Hazel’s Mama will forever be my greatest accomplishment. What a tremendous honor I’ve been blessed to have! I pray they will shine their unique lights of HOPE & GOODNESS in the world! In the end, they are the only treasure I’ll be able to take to heaven with me! I hope of the wonderful women out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend! Because every woman is caring for someone throughout this life! 📸 by Dad after church yesterday. Other favorite images over the years that I’ll always cherish! ♥️ How are my babies almost as tall as me at 11 & 9 years old??!! #mothersday
A reminder for myself & all of the parents with li A reminder for myself & all of the parents with little kids... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “These are some of the BEST years of your lives. The kids are little, they are all HERE & safe with you, & you GET to savor them. Don’t waste your energy on things that take away from this fleeting time, because we only get a little over one decade of them. Let’s remember to rest, recharge, walk away from whatever is draining your energy or stealing your joy. THIS time is special. Nothing else is as important as raising your babies well. Preserve it as long as you can. ENJOY it, because in just a short time, it will pass and change into a new season of life.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @ambertrejo_ it has been a treat to photograph your family twice this past year. The love you have for your boys radiates with every smile, gentle word & tender touch. I loved that your crew kicked off the start of my Spring outdoor portrait season too! Downtown Indy made a fun backdrop to your beautiful family images! So many sweet images to share 🤍
It’s almost Mother’s Day! Want to know what e It’s almost Mother’s Day! Want to know what every single Mama would like to have as a gift for their day of celebration? Images with their children, that they can cherish forever! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Attention to all of the Dads or grown up children out there, purchase your wife or Mama a gift certificate or go ahead & schedule a photo session with her favorite photographer for later this year! I promise, she will be THRILLED & will likely have some tears from the most thoughtful present! The days are long, but years are truly so short. Mamas don’t often get to simply savor their motherhood. Photos are a way that they can preserve this special season of their lives with their beloved family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @jen_c28 ... I adore these darling images with your sweet baby girl and you! They radiate so much love & genuine happiness. Wishing you the most beautiful Mother’s Day in a couple weeks! And hopefully I’ll get to see your sweet family again very soon 🤍
Brock & I are entering our 19th year of documentin Brock & I are entering our 19th year of documenting weddings as a married team! What an adventure it has been for almost 2 decades! We’ve gotten to share in the start of so many marriages, witnessed an endless amount of emotion filled moments & have been to some of the most incredible venues around the world. We’ve had the honor of serving couples with beautifully timeless heirloom images they will cherish now & then pass down to future generations. Brock & I document love the way we would like our own special marriage to be preserved. Photos are the only tangible element of our memories. We hold such high value on those priceless moment being captured on film ♥️ In addition to our photography talents, we strive to bring a calm presence, assertive direction & trustworthy expertise. Our goal is for everyone that interacts with us to feel as though we are old friends! Thank you to all of the amazing Brides & Grooms who have invited us into one of the most intimate days of your lives! It has been a true honor! - Stefanie & Brock Childs 📸 random iPhone photos along the way…
“Something nobody prepares you for about parenti “Something nobody prepares you for about parenting, is watching your child grow. It’s the feeling of never wanting them to grow up, but also being so excited watching them reach every new milestone. It’s the heartache of knowing they’ll never be this small again, but loving the older person they’re growing into and wanting to see even more. It’s bittersweet but beautiful at the same time.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved having the opportunity to photograph the Wilsons. Their beautiful girls are growing up and the images from their session truly highlight the sweet, evolving relationship they share with them. It really is bittersweet to raise daughters...we want them to stay little, however we are also raising our future best friends. And that is extra special! @rmw0422 I adore all of these love-filled photos...I know you will cherish them forever too!
“ When my children are grown, I want them to be “ When my children are grown, I want them to be able to say they grew up in a house with unconditional love, hugs were unlimited, JOY and forgiveness both flowed throughout the days, and family was of the highest value.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Being invited into a client’s home is extra special to me as a photographer. What an honor to capture a glimpse of everyday life and the relationships that are cultivated with the walls of such a sacred place. The season of life with little kiddos is fleeting, having these images will forever be some of parents most prized posessions! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @kelly_goodlivingindy what a fun morning with your crew in your gorgeous Victorian home! It was a true challenge to choose only 10 images to post from 250+ in your gallery. Soooo many faves!!! Even though it was pure beautiful chaos (we were all sweaty & cracking up) and the boys kept us on our toes, the photos excude endless happiness, peace and a sense of genuine love. I can’t wait to photograph your family in the years to come as the boys grow! P.s. If you are in need of an amazing Indy realtor, Kelly is a gem & would be incredible to work with 🙌🏻
