My Sweet Isaac - 2 years old already!!

Where, oh where, has the time gone??  I feel like I blinked and my little newborn has turned in to a full blown little boy!!  I just had to post a few from my shoot with my son....he is full of life and personality and I just adore his sweet face so so much...he warms my heart and makes me smile every single day.  

Happy 2nd Birthday to my Isaac - I love you as big as the world!

 

Haley and Tyler's Downtown Indianapolis Engagement Session with stephanie nicole photography

Can I just say...I LOVE shooting in downtown Indianapolis....so when Haley and Tyler mentioned that one of their favorite things to do is to walk along the canal...I jumped at the chance to do their engagement session in the very area that is meaningful to them. 

This gorgeous couple was so much fun to work with....all smiles and so dang happy....I just loved it!  I'm so excited to be working with them on their big day in September...I am certain it will be filled with lots of love, laughter...and quite possibly a few happy tears from their emotional families  :) (you know I love that!)

Michelle and Tyler's Zionsville Engagement Session with stephanie nicole photography

 I am so very excited to be working with this awesome couple on their upcoming wedding in November!  Not only are Michelle and Tyler just a really great couple (and super cute together, might I add)....I have know Michelle and her family since we were kiddos together at the same church in Zionsville.  I can't wait for their big day - it will most certainly be a huge celebration and I'm thrilled to be a part of their wedding day team!

 

Christina and Jake's Wedding - stephanie nicole photography

I had such a wonderful time photographing this amazing couple last week...Christina and Jake.   Their families are just fantastic and so full of love, I could feel it.  Just looking at Christina and Jake together tugged at my heartstrings...the way they each lit up when they looked at each other was so cool...it really was.  They exuded happiness which makes my heart happy for them.   

In just 2 short weeks, Jake will be deployed for several months and will leave his new bride and his new baby boy behind....I know everyone who reads this will appreciate Jake's service and will join with me in sending good thoughts, well wishes and lots of love to this new family.

Congratulations Christina and Jake!!  

xoxo - Stephanie

Little Miss Leighton's 9 month shoot with stephanie nicole photography

Can this little girl be any cuter??   Leighton is such a little fashionista at the young age of 9 months and I just cannot get enough of her!   We had such a great time doing her shoot in the fabulous boutique store, Lesley Jane in downtown Zionsville....thank goodness for that as it was a balmy 20 degrees outside!  Cannot wait for her 1 year shoot at the end of May....hard to believe I've known this sweetie pie since she was 2 weeks old!

The Beautiful Lisa - stephanie nicole photography

I think every woman should do a personal shoot just for her....I truly do!  There is something "freeing" about it...and every woman is just so beautiful in her own unique way.  I had such a great time working with Lisa on her shoot...and I love the fact that she did this as a surprise for her husband's 40th birthday!!  I'm sure the look on his face was priceless :)

Kristina and Josh's downtown Indianapolis Engagment Session with stephanie nicole photography

What a way to start the new year!  I had such a blast working with Kristina and Josh on their engagement session in downtown Indianapolis....what an awesome couple!!  These two are so completely enamored with each other...they sure did make my job easy!  

I can't wait for their big day in April....I know without a doubt their wedding day will be filled with so much emotion (both laughter and happy tears) and I am thrilled to be a part of their wedding day team!

Happy New Year..... from stephanie nicole photography

The Monson Family in downtown Carmel with stephanie nicole photography

I have had such a wonderful year filled with some pretty great families and clients....  I ended 2013 with the fabulous Monson family....and their sweet pup Ellie.   They all braved the cold 25 degree weather so we could do their family shoot in downtown Carmel....they sure pulled off the "warm" look, didn't they?  :)

Love this family and love that they were my last shoot of 2013....so excited to see what 2014 brings!

The Rounds Family "Duck Dynasty" Photoshoot with stephanie nicole photography

Okay - so I just had to share a few photos from a shoot I did for my brother Chris, and his family.  They are huge Duck Dynasty fans and thought it would be fun to do a Duck Dynasty themed photo for their Christmas card this year....and oh my goodness....we had such a great time with it!  The kids nailed the "serious" look...my sister in law Lisa looks like a model and Chris...well he fit the part well with his long hair and beard.  Thanks to my mom for giving us this great idea!!

**side note....since this shoot, Chris has cut all of his hair off and shaved his beard....he had been  growing his hair out for over 2 years so he could donate it to Locks of Love....have I mentioned I have an AWESOME brother??**
