Indianapolis Documentary Newborn Family Portraits | Baby Otis

On the day before Thanksgiving, I am thankful for being able to be a part of the lives of those that I photograph – being able to make portraits that capture this life’s moments as they are is an amazing gift.   The lucky shot below of a five day old baby smiling is proof of how awesome this job really is…

I’ve watched Mike and Danielle grow as a family for awhile now.  I had photographed Mike perform with his band, their wedding (the first wedding I ever photographed!) and then portraits of them at their restaurant, The Vegan Yacht.  So, when their first baby was born, I was super-excited to get to photograph him as well.

Here is the latest addition to the Wood family –  baby Otis.  My daughter says he has the best name ever.  I have to agree.
