Miss Jia | Indianapolis Newborn Photographer









































I met this family through my work with the Nurture store on Mass Ave. I photographed them this summer before baby Jia was born. Ishaan (their little boy) was one of my favorites to photograph. He was at a perfect age and was all smiles. Everyone that walked by just stopped and smiled at him. I was so happy when they called me to do their newborn photo shoot. Jia is the prettiest little girl. She has the most beautiful skin, big dark eyes, and a head full of gorgeous hair. I was able to capture a three generation photo as well. Nina's mom was visiting during the photo shoot so it was a great opportunity to get this memorable photo. This family will be moving soon and I will be very sad to see them go. I have really enjoyed getting to know them. Enjoy their sweet pictures!!

Smith Family | Littlest Heroes Project | Indianapolis Children's Photographer






























This is little Noah and his adorable sister and brother. I have known this family for over 10 years (Wow!!). I remember running into Jeni last year at Trader Joe's. It's funny b/c I rarely go to Trader Joes so I don't think it was coincidence that we ran into each other - it was a planned meeting by our heavenly father. Jeni had Noah in her arms and he seemed a little sad that day. I asked Jenny how she was doing and she said good. She mentioned that Noah had to have some blood work that day b/c he had a lump that hadn't gone away. A lymph node possibly swollen from being sick etc... just a test to make sure all was well. I was certain all would be well and I said goodbye to Noah and Jeni and went on my way. I remember seeing a post on facebook shortly after. "Our worst fears have been confirmed - Noah has leukemia" My heart sank. I remember crying as I read the post and thinking of how their lives were about to change so suddenly and drastically. I followed their story online through the Caring Bridge (a site that Riley Hospital for Children developed for families going through similar struggles). I prayed for Noah to be healed (Along with hundreds of other family members, friends, and strangers). I am so happy to say that Noah came through this year with flying colors. He is so strong, brave, and happy. His hair is coming back and he looks more handsome than ever. His parents and siblings toughed out a really rough year and in the end God healed their little boy. I praise God for Noah's recovery and I thank him for this precious boy that will change the world one day. I know God has big plans for his life. I am so thankful that I am able to use my gift of photography to help in some small way. This family received a free session plus all of the digital images as my way of paying it forward. If you know of someone that has a child with cancer that you would like to submit for the Littlest Heroes Project let me know =) Thank you Chris and Jeni for allowing me to capture these precious moments for you. Hugs, Loree

Audrey | Indianapolis Children's photographer

















How cute is this little girl!?! I took her newborn photos almost one year ago (the cute baby in the bowl). She has grown so much and is just as cute as I remember =) Audrey was the easiest kid out of all my sessions (sorry it's true - lol). Her personality is so sweet. I think she smiled and laughed during the entire session. Her parents are great (and beautiful too!!). I look forward to seeing this little cutie year after year. Enjoy her pictures =)

Holiday Sessions | Lopez Family | Indianapolis Children's Photographer






























My holiday sessions were so much fun this year!! We had perfect weather both days and the kids were awesome =) My first location was at a local Christmas tree farm. I have been friends with Tricia (Mom of these cuties) since before we had kids =) Our kids were all born within weeks of each other and have been the best of pals over the years. I love the way she dressed them for this photo shoot. I even made her youngest smile which is a huge accomplishment since in the past she has only given me the stare down - LOL. The pictures turned out great and I already have their Christmas card up in my house =) Now if I can just get mine ready to send out!! Enjoy =)

Beautiful Senior | Indianapolis Senior Photographer






































Alyssa is a Senior at Avon High School. I had a great time on this photo shoot. Can you believe how beautiful this girl is?? I love her red hair, blue eyes, and great personality. We walked all around downtown and she was such a trooper. Our second location involved us carrying a couch to a corn field and Alyssa was in high heels!!! She was so great about it. She has a wonderful family and I have no doubt she will be very successful at whatever she decides to do in life. Enjoy her pics!!!
