Meet another sweet addition to the Krista Photography baby boom of 2015!  Her parents, Kristin and Anthony, were married back in 2013.  We were SO happy to hear about the arrival of baby Kayla!  I think you’ll agree that Kayla’s nursery is simply divine!

Baby Judah – Maternity Shoot

Krista always loves to shoot her brides again, especially when they are also her very good friends!  And double especially when her good friends/former wedding client’s are expecting a new baby!  And I can’t think of a more perfect family to feature as we head into Mother’s Day weekend!   You’ll probably remember Suze and Jeremy from their winter wedding one year ago.  Well, they recently welcomed Baby Judah into the world.  They asked Krista to stop by their home before Judah’s arrival to capture the glowing mama-to-be’s pregnant belly.  And, of course, we’ll be sharing pictures of the little man himself in an upcoming post!

I am especially loving the beautiful canvas hanging behind them in this first picture!  :)

Poor Kayak!  She has no idea just how much life is going to be changing!  Isn’t she a beautiful dog?

Are you noticing a consistency in Suze and Jeremy’s color palette??  I think they like the color orange (and, for the record, so do I!).  :)

Susan’s Maternity Photos – Indianapolis, IN

Those of you who know me, know that I’m completely in love with (um, addicted to?) Facebook. Well, this is one of the reasons. I have found so many old friends in the last few months that I’d completely lost touch with years ago, that it just blows my mind! It is so fun to connect with them again and see what they’re up to, and better yet, get to actually see them live and in person again! Susan is one of those friends. We were roommates my senior year at Butler, and we lost touch sometime after I moved to Chicago. We recently found each other on Facebook and I was surprised and excited to see that she’s married the love of her life, and was pregnant with her THIRD child! woah! So, when I was in Indianapolis last, we got together for a maternity portrait session, and about 6 hours of much-needed catch-up time! It was wonderful!!

Now on to the part you all really care about, the photos ;)

Sue was always beautiful, but there’s something about being pregnant that makes a woman radiant!


*favorite*


I love the belly!!


Haha! I must be hilarious ;) Actually, no, she’s the hilarious one… I think she’s laughing at her own impression of a model here.


Using a little of that natural light

See what I mean? Gorgeous!!




Susan’s 2 little boys wanted in on the fun, and desperately wanted to see what Mommy was looking at out the window…


So, we thought we’d add them into the shoot! This is Sam, he’s adorable.


And this is Jack, he’s rather hilarious.



and also adorable.


You can tell these boys love their Mommy!

Sue – it was SO fabulous to see you and meet your lovely family! I’m glad we got to spend some time together and catch up after all these years. It’s so great to know that we’ll be able to stay in touch pretty much forever now, thanks to modern technology ;) Congratulations on the birth of baby Lily! I can’t wait to meet her next time I’m home!!! LOVE YOU!!

Oh, and for those of you on Facebook – you can become a Fan of Krista Photography here. If we actually know each other – add me as a friend already! If we’ve never met, introduce yourself and maybe we’ll become friends :) I won’t add anyone I don’t know since I actually use FB to post family photos and such, but I am always happy to make new friends in real life!!
