Sadie- 6 months! (Warsaw, IN Child Photographer)

I can't believe Miss Sadie is already 6 months old! Feels like just yesterday I was doing her newborn photos!! She's growing up into such a beautiful young gal already!

If you are thinking Sadie's headbands are completely adorable, her mom actually makes them, and you can buy them from her at Cute As A Button Children's Boutique!!

Benjamin- New to the world!

I'm not sure this post even needs an introduction. Baby Benjamin came into this world, and he is amazing. We got to sneak into the house and photograph his life as a newborn, and as a new member of the family.

And Baby makes FOUR! (Winona Lake Maternity Photography)

It is no secret I love this family! I was thrilled when I found out they were expecting, because I love working with them and they are just the sweetest family!

The Carters first hired us back in May of 2010 to capture their first maternity session. They were taking a bit of a chance, as Samuel & I were still learning the business, but they've grown with us and it has been great!

 Love the name!!

Joaquin- Cake Smash! (Fort Wayne, IN Child Photographer)

This kid is just awesome! He has an incredible family surrounding him, and we feel like we were blessed to be there for his first big party! (It took me longer than usual to blog this goodness, but I hope you forgive me when you see those big blue eyes!) ~N

 Love his eyes! He's so precious!

Adilyn turns One! (Warsaw, IN Child Photographer)

We have had the pleasure of watching several little ones grow through their first year. Adilyn recently turned one & we are so happy to share a few from her session today!

 

Baby Sadie (Warsaw, IN Newborn Photography)

As much as I love making photos of people in love, I adore photographing two people who fell in love, got married, then made a baby! Miss Sadie is one such baby. It feels like it took her f-o-r-e-v-e-r to get her, but she is PERFECT and we were so excited to capture her newness!

Purdy & Bucher Families (Warsaw IN Family Photographer)

We've really been blessed to work with some wonderful families this year! Especially being able to watch little ones grow, and capture those special times with their family. We had a lovely beach day outing with the Purdy & Bucher families, and here is some of what we saw!

After the more traditional poses, we worked on getting some classic Karth views!

Since Miss A was celebrating her 6 months, we had to get some special smiles from her!

And while I was getting this, Sam noticed that I had a little help from behind, in getting those smiles!

The Cole Family- 1 year! (Indiana Family Photographer)

I was having a bad day when I got the text. My brother, my Sister-In-Love (a phrase she coined, but we all use) and their adorable daughter all live too far away on the west coast. Can't blame them though, Washington state is gorgeous and appealing. I have often felt like my own journey may one day lead there.

Anyway, back to the text message. "Guess who is doing S's 1 year photos?!!"

Me, in a bad mood: "I dunno. Who?"

My Sis-In-Love: "YOU!!!!"

Ok, and bad mood is gone!!!!!  Their little family were able to visit Indiana a few weeks ago, and while here I got to capture S growing up again! (If you remember, we were able to do photos when they were here for Christmas- Link!)

Here's just a sample of my precious niece:

Love this one of her showing Daddy how to "smell" the flowers:

Chris & Chanti, we love taking photos of your little family. You are so blessed! ~Naomi

Izzy- 3 years (Warsaw, IN Child Photographer)

There are times when certain sessions are more challenging than others. I note this not to complain, but to affirm! I love challenges, be it weird lighting or extreme heat or an active child. Add them all up and you get Izzy's session! In retrospect, we should have rescheduled, but we soldiered on with our snapping on The Hottest Day of June! And I'm glad we did because I think we really nailed it! They might not be your perfect portraits, but I think we really captured this little gal as she truly exists!

Baby Corie- 3 weeks new! (Fort Wayne, IN Newborn Photographer)

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this session, as little Miss Corie was older than any newborn I've photographed before. She did such a fabulous job! I still am amused when I look back on the session. Up til now I've had babies that hated being naked, even with a space heater running! Corie seemed to love being naked. She gave us her biggest smiles when she was all cuddled up on the fur, seeming to have the time of her life! Thanks for being such a good sport, Corie, and we hope your family loves these photos! ~Naomi

Naked, and lovin' it!

Does she not have the most gorgeous eyes?!
