Alexandra and Stefan's Summer Family Photos - Kelly McPhail Photography

The Brkaric family brought so much warmth and love to their family session in late November despite the cold and dreary temps! We laughed, joked around, and had just a wonderful time together capturing their family’s special connection at Homestead Pine Tree Farm in Lafayette, Indiana.…

I have three mommy and me sessions scheduled in the next two weeks here in Lafayette and can I just tell you something? They tug something bad on my heart strings. I love you daddies, but as a mom, these images seriously do something to me. I want to capture all the love, connection, emotion, feeling and all things real, genuine and authentic with you…

The Goldenrod wildflowers have been absolutely breathtaking the past few weeks along with a number of other fall wildflowers. Funny how I never noticed these flowers until I started doing family photography and now I seriously have a wildflower radar!…
