Images filled with quiet love, moments of silly la Images filled with quiet love, moments of silly laughter, a few baby tears soothed by Mama & endless cuddles that portray how special parenthood is during this stage of life. What a beautiful sun-drenched evening spent together with darling past wedding clients. It’s an incredible honor to be a part of each joy-filled milestone in a couple’s story. Thank you, Jason & Rachael for inviting me to into your lives again! Motherhood & Fatherhood looks so so good on you both, & your tiny girls are simply precious 🙂 I strive to capture genuine connection & sweet relationships through every photo I take. I always have several poses of everyone “Looking at the camera”, however some of my favorite candid moments while photographing families with little kiddos will always be; The sound of children belly laughing while being chased or tickled by their parents silly games. Hand holding while walking together. My heart is giddy when dads effortlessly throw toddlers in the air & catch them with giant happy hugs unprompted. Watching mamas swoop up their babies while swaying back & forth to comfort them. Those little smiles shared between mom & dad throughout the beautiful chaos of childhood. All are fleeting stages that are worth documenting, because they will end up being your favorite images to cherish! My limited calendar is OPEN for 2025. I’d love to add your family to my session dates this year! - Stefanie

I have an endless list of reasons to be Thankful t I have an endless list of reasons to be Thankful this Holiday season. My greatest treasures are in this little square ♥️ Life simply becomes sweeter with every passing year. As I age, I grasp a greater understanding of how to feel genuine, consistent JOY. I discover it most when I choose to be fully present as a mama & wife, pray & read the Bible daily, have a heart overflowing with gratitude, walk in nature, seek peaceful atmospheres, escape online noise, live with intention, & ensure that I pause to truly notice even the smallest of God’s daily blessings. This cultivates genuine & lasting happiness through anything. I choose not to spend much time on social media anymore, so here is a rare updated family photo taken in our woods 🥰 Our 3 kiddos are growing up so quickly, & I’m soaking in every ounce of time with them! We get to spend every single day homeschooling/adventuring together, & it is simply the BEST! Our twin girls, Emmaline & Hazel just turned the big double digit of 10 years old on 11/24/24! Rhett is almost a teenager at 12.5yrs! Brock & I also hit a huge milestone of 23 years of being together this past summer 🤍 We have also added more little Labrador pups to our growing @heritagecreeklabs pack! 🐾 None of us could resist keeping a puppy from our 2 litters in 2024 🐾 Meet “Violet”, 1 of Sage’s Black Lab pups, & “Maple” the itty bitty Yellow Lab baby in Emmaline’s Arms. Willow has loved being able to raise one of her favorite puppies from her summer litter. Wishing you the MERRIEST of HOLIDAYS! 🎄

“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 🤍
