Elegant Maternity Session with Horses | Heirloom Portraits in Indianapolis

Every portrait should be more than just a photograph—it should be a timeless story, an heirloom to be treasured for generations. I had the honor of documenting a beautiful maternity session for one of my return clients, Sarah, whose session was a perfect example of what it means to tell your story and preserve your legacy.

Sarah’s family holds a special place in my heart. We first met for her first baby’s newborn session.

Between Sarah’s love for horses, and her husband’s passion for the outdoors and hunting, we were sure to incorporate some outdoor themes for their first baby’s newborn session. It was a meaningful way to weave their family story into their heirloom portraits.


Now, with baby number two on the way, Sarah returned to me for both maternity and newborn portraits.

This time, she envisioned something deeply personal—a maternity session on her own property, where we could include her beloved horses. As an Indianapolis maternity photographer offering a fully personalized experience, I was thrilled to bring her vision to life.


We began by selecting from my curated wardrobe of

elegant maternity gowns.

Sarah chose a flowing red gown that stood out beautifully against the natural landscape of her property.

We captured a blend of intimate portraits, heartwarming family moments, and tender images with her toddler.

It was so fun to capture this little boy that was once in my studio as a newborn, and was now about to be a big brother!

These images will serve as timeless heirlooms, capturing this precious chapter of their growing story.


As golden hour approached, we ended the evening with breathtaking portraits of Sarah and her favorite horses.

The connection between them was pure magic—serene, graceful, and a beautiful symbol of the bond she shares with her beloved horses.


Not long after, we welcomed Sarah back to my east Indianapolis studio for her newborn session.

It was a full-circle moment—documenting the continuation of her family’s story in a setting designed for comfort, elegance, and timeless portraiture.


Each session is carefully designed to reflect YOUR family’s unique story. Whether we are in the studio or on your private estate, my goal is to create heirloom portraits that preserve the essence of your family for generations to come.

If you’re expecting and dreaming of a maternity or newborn experience that feels luxurious, intentional, and completely tailored to your story, I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.

Because these aren’t just photos.
They’re your legacy.
