chad. karen. nicholas + baby: family.

Chad and Karen's adorable little family is growing by one more and very soon! They're expecting their second in the next few weeks and Karen wanted to be sure we got some cute maternity photos to remember this time. And little Nicholas is now 3 so of course we had to showcase how incredibly cute that little face of his is also! Karen, I just love every time I get to see you, and I'm excited that the next time I'll be seeing you all we'll have a little baby to welcome to the picture. Thanks for letting me be a part of this special time in your lives. Here are just a quick handful of the photos I know you have been anxiously waiting for! Enjoy these next few weeks and hopefully the time will fly by and baby number two will be here before you know it!

Meet Halle! She has just turned 3 and her mom wanted to do some photos for her birthday! She's seriously adorable with those little red curls, but she didn't like my camera one bit! No problem though, after a farmhouse of animal noises later, we totally managed to pull out some smiles! Even a laugh or two as well. Happy birthday Halle! You are just a cutie pie and your smile is contagious!

Brandon. Sara. Addison + baby: Family.

Brandon and Sara are expecting their second baby soon and wanted to do some photos for this fun time in their lives. They also are the parents of Addison. She is such a cute, little ball of energy, she's incredibly fun and she is just at that perfect age where you can't keep her down! She is on the move, and she's so sassy to boot! Addy is one of those little kiddos you could have spent the day with because she is just ridiculously adorable with her little chubby cheeks and those curls! I want to see how baby number two will be...but I admit, I'm hoping for those same cheeks and curls too!

Sara, your family is so cute. You are gorgeous and you make being pregnant look like just another day! It's clear to see you and Brandon are great parents because Addy is sooooo happy! You guys are her world but I bet she just loves that new baby to pieces too. She'll be such a good big sister. Thanks for exploring with me that day and being tons of fun to hang out with and take pictures of. Your photos are so pretty, but then so is your family, so my job was painless to say the least! These are just a few of my favorites from the evening. Hope you enjoy!

Oh and before I go...you should know. I'm STILL laughing when I think about how she was going to town jumpin on that chair!!! Check out the air she got in one of the shots below!  Priceless!  It was about the funniest thing I have seen in a LONG time! Addison--you MADE my day that night! And I have to say a huge thanks for aunt Brookie who came along to make Addy laugh too! So fun meeting you Brooke!

What more could a kid want. Cupcakes! When these adorable kiddo's mom talked to me about their photos, she wanted something a little different and outside the box. And what could be more fun than visiting the Flying Cupcake downtown in Indianapolis! They really have the cutest little boutique shops and it's a perfectly suitable backdrop for 4 kiddos to have some fun photos taken. So they filled their bellies and I snapped a few photos, and I am thrilled with how cute these shots are! Of course, Kristi and Dan have 4 of the greatest kids around, so it wasn't too hard getting some great moments for them. They kept me on my toes, made me laugh too hard, but I think we achieved our goal in getting something a little bit extraordinary for Kristi! Love your kids Dan and Kristi!!! What more can I say. I'll hang with them any day!
