Working for Those Smiles | Southern IN Child Photographer

Sometimes smiles come effortlessly, for kids, adults, even elderly people. The funny stuff can usually crack a smile. What about 90 degree heat, a half done nap, and some stranger with a funny thing strapped to her face?

That was our first date, we met in the parking lot just as Mr. Colton woke up and the date started a little rocky. I actually don't mind when people don't smile. As long as I get to see those eyes, that's all I need for a great photo.

 Mom and Dad did a great job playing and chasing entertaining Colton. Which was no small feat in the super sticky heat (poetic right?). But we got some sweet genuine smiles and a lot of "Blue Steel" looks too.

This, dear friends, is why I love lifestyle sessions so much. We can play and run around and get amazing REAL photos. And of course Colton had to laugh when Dad put on all that big blue stuff ;) 

Hang in there buddy, luckily we have some other great teams in town.

XOXO,

Mich 

P.S. Know anyone who could use some amazing play time photos? I would love to visit your home on a weekend for some Saturday morning cartoon laughing and pancake making fun. Contact me at the link at the very tip top of this page for more details.

Smiles and Sunshine [6 months] | Louisville, KY Child Photographer

 

 Remember this little guy? Well he was much smaller the last time we saw this sweet face, and he was not so happy with me. But here is again. Parker is 6 months old and I cannot imagine a happier little boy.

 Little brother is growing up quick and he is all smiles. Learning fast from big brother Connor too.

There is no denying these two guys are related. Connor on the left and Parker on the right - both at 6 months old.

Those peepers :: swoon ::

 

Gigi even came over to help celebrate her birthday with these little studs,

 I swear, I don't know how momma will say no to these baby blues.

 I just love seeing my littlest clients grow. Connor man was a client as a newborn too and now he is big enough to help with the dishes! Goodness, slow down time.

XOXO,

Mich

P.S. Expecting a little one soon? Have a couple of sweet baby boys already that you need to document right now, in a relaxed lifestyle setting, before they are driving and leaving the house? Contact me at the link above or use the social media icons to check out some of my other work on the right. I LOVE to capture sweet bebes as they grow. They are only little for a little while. <3

Long Grass and Gardens [family] | Louisville, KY Family Photographer

This special family is the epitome of the client turned friend. I cannot tell you how many times this sweet family has been in front of my camera and I must say it is such a joy to watch then grow. Just look at these sweet girls and the love their amazing parents share.

We started the ideas for this family shoot at their house via text, like so many times before. But when I heard of Randi's idea for photos of the girls playing in the garden and on their new playground, I thought... how fitting. These girls are growing like the tomato plants in compost, tall and healthy in the element they were intended.

I was delighted that we would be capturing some amazing lifestyle photos of the family being authentic, in their element. It is how I hope to photograph every single person I have the honor to shoot - REAL - in their element, their comfortable, authentic selves.

I look forward to our shoots and ordering sessions not because of any monetary gains or business advances I may make. But because we get to talk about David's business and the fun things the girls are doing in school. I make plans with Randi to visit the parish picnics for some games and fun.

This wonderful family is not only an amazing client family that I enjoy working with a few times a year, they are friends and I am so blessed to call them that... Dusty and all.

LIttle Addison | 2 years

Wow it feels like I have been away for-ever. Is it just me or are things more than CrAzY right now?  I can't even begin to understand or explain where the time has gone, but I do have some fun little photos to share!  This little 2-year-old is anything but lazy.  She kept us running and thinking all day yesterday.  Her mom was a little nervous that we wouldn't get much on "film', but low and behold her beauty found the camera.  Isn't she presh?

More catchup coming soon (catch-up not Ketchup just sayin).
