These sunrise family photos in Carmel, Indiana were so much fun. I absolutely loved this twist on a typical family session, and was so grateful for Teresa suggesting it. I’ve had the honor of working with this family for a few years, and every time makes me so happy.
It’s not a surprise that sunrise and sunset lighting is simply lovely, especially here in the midwest. When clients are open to sunrise photos, I get really excited because I know we’ll have really nice light, and that’s just what happened with this session. We met at a parking garage rooftop in downtown Carmel, Indiana and shot at a few lovely spots up there.
Teresa is really intentional about getting family photos taken for different milestones to document their growing family. When I first started working with them, their daughter was really small, and now I have the honor of photographing their family of four and seeing how they’ve grown! It’s so special giving this experience to clients and witnessing it alongside them.
In addition to a creative location, we also got creative with family poses. Teresa told me to get as creative with them as I wanted, so I played with composition and perspective changes. I loved how this session turned out, and the freedom to be creative was so inspiring.
Teresa and Casey: I absolutely loved working with you again for your family photos. You have such a beautiful family and I’m so grateful for you!
