As your children grow older, family photos become fewer and fewer. If your older kids are starting to avoid photos with you, it might be time to step in and capture those memories before they head off to college or graduation. Even though your kids are no longer toddlers, documenting this stage of their life is just as important. Don’t miss the chance to create lasting family photos with your older children, even if they aren’t always eager to participate.

The Yerger family joined me in Mishawaka for Mr. Max’s first birthday session, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From golden light to tender mama snuggles, this Goshen family photo and film session was filled with love, laughter, and heart.

Photographing the Cox family is always such a joy—warm colors, perfect styling, and the kind of laughter you can practically hear through the photos. Their fall session in Mishawaka was filled with personality, connection, and cozy autumn vibes.
