Remember Sarah and Sam? Of COURSE you do… for the very small minority of people who may not, here’s a quick refresher…
engagement :: wedding :: family
Now that you’re in the loop… I could NOT be more excited to share this session with you. Sarah and Sam hold such a special place in my heart… I’ll never forget shooting their engagement session, it’s been nearly 6 years ago and it’s still a favorite. And let’s not even talk about their wedding… I remember every single thing about that day!
Both times I’ve photographed this family, we did it in their home. The first time they were living in their first home near Broad Ripple. They’ve since bought the house that Sarah grew up in in Carmel. 🙂
Starting things off with my favorite… ❗
Meet sweet Florence… I think she looks exactly like Sarah and Sarah’s Dad. 😀 Oh, and she happens to be perfect. That image on the right, AAAARE YOU KIDDING ME?! 
But the real camera hog? THISSSSS little one! 
Every photo in this blog entry (except the very last one) were all taken in the same room. You know what I’d like to specialize in? THIS KIND! Lifestyle sessions at home… where you’re most comfortable… where you can look back and remember where you lived, how your home was decorated, and well… what your “every day” looked like. These kinds of sessions fill my photography love tank up. 🙂 Who else in Indianapolis wants one? I’m in! 😀
I’m sorry that my camera can’t resist her… but COME ON… how can so much personality fit into one very tiny human?!
FLORENNNNCE!!!! HIIII!!!!
Sarah, I’ve photographed you four times now…some of the most beautiful images I’ve ever taken of anyone are of you… but you… as a mom… well, there’s nothing more gorgeous. 🙂
See that floor? Sam did that. Are you as blown away by this feat as I was?! 
“Whatchyoo talkin’ ’bout Willis?!”
I love that sweet baby… 
This image of Sam? Well… this is everything! These are the kinds of images that only happen at home… comfort like that just can’t be replicated in a field or in front of a cool door. Sam, seeing you as a dad makes my heart sing… I couldn’t love this image more. Man oh man… now I’m getting all emotional… another favorite ❗
Momma with her babies…
I think Florence doesn’t quiiiiite know what to think of big sister Jettie yet… 
Loved their blue walls.
Oh holy hell…. and then my heart melted into one zillllllion pieces…
…and looooook who made an appearance… Jettie calls them “Nina” and “Great Nina” 🙂 According to Sarah it was a failed attempt at “Nana” 😀

Indianapolis, Ind.
sarah+sam :: married 5 years • 4.10.10
How they met, as told by Sarah :: Two of our best friends used to date in high school. They tried to set us up (it didn’t quite work out). After they’d broken up, we ran into one another at a party and started dating. And here we are :).
Sarah :: hometown – Carmel, Ind. :: attorney :: five words – thoughtful, artistic, independent, beautiful, loving (stubborn and analytical)
Sam :: hometown – Indianapolis, Ind. :: construction manager :: five words – Driven, caring, humble, genuine, loyal
Jettie :: 3 years :: five words – joyful, thoughtful, musical, independent, vivacious
Florence :: 4 weeks :: five words – happy, sweet, lovable, feisty, cheeks
Your perfect Saturday :: A lazy morning with bacon and “eggies” for breakfast. Playing outside and going for a walk around a lake near our house. Sewing (for me) and working outside (for Sam) during naptime. Then dinner, a movie with Jettie, and a nightcap by the fireplace on our back patio after story time.

Jettie loved Mike. She requested this pose. I aim to please! 
[br] [br] [br] [br] Much love friends!

These are absolutely gorgeous!!! <3 I cannot wait to have kids and have you guys come photograph us!! <3 Absolute PERFECTION!
Oh man am I glad to see a little bbmk genius again!! And these images are just that — GENIUS!!!!!! I cannot wait to see more of this!! That first image is just perfection…but who am I kidding — they ALL are!!!!!! You’re amazing!
After spending maybe half an hour soaking in this post, I’m sitting here with the silliest grin on my face. From Flore’s “blue steel” pose to Jettie hamming it up for the camera to Sam eyeing Jettie to everyone snuggling up together and then back to Florence dozing amidst the chaos… You have captured so many moments that remind me of our “every day” in ways that we could never do ourselves. So much love. For you, for them, for everything. Thank you.
I need you to specialize in at-home family sessions tooooo!!! Because this was TOOOOO PERRRFECT!!! I’m obsessed with every single one. That wide one with them on the bed showing off the brick floor…swooooon! Such an awesome job BBMK! xoxo
Oh gosh. The simplicity of where these are, and the love in these make this session one of my favourites of yours. These are so beautiful, and so precious! And that last shot? Such an amazing image to have!
You guys – these are absolute perfection!!! Such wonderful keepsakes for the whole family.
I adore this session! Those images are priceless. Beautiful family, and such special little moments captured. And I am totally obsessed with that floor!
Update — we just showed the pictures to Jettie.
Us: Remember when Bobbi and Mike came over to take pictures?
Jettie: Yah.
Look, there’s all of us, and daddy, and Florence.
…Where’s Mike?
Mike’s not in the pictures, Jet.
Why?
(scrolls down to the last image)
Ooooohhh!!
(tries scrolling up)
Let’s see it again.
:o)
Just went back through their engagement, wedding, and first family session. LOVE being able to watch this couple grow into a family! Yeah, this is what it’s all about. Your “WHY.”
I adore these images especially since they were all shot in their home. Gushing over that first image (WOW!), the shot of momma and her newborn in front of the blue wall, and the one of all four of them on the bed showing the floor. Sigh.
Amazing. Beautiful. And all of the other awesome adjectives! You guys never disappoint.
Good god yes! Please come to Chicago and photograph my family in this EXACT same way, minus one kid, plus one adorable furry dog. 🙂
The engagement photo in the kitchen=one of my favorite BBMK images. You can just feel how much they love each other. And these? Perfection. From their simple outfits to the blue walls, to the great light, everything made a perfect backdrop to showcase their love and personalities.
These are a-maz-ing! The family shot where Jettie is looking up at her Mom and touching her hair made my heart drop! Seriously love these – amazing work as always! And that floor tho – great work to you too Sam – I’m need that floor!
A goodie for sure.
What beautiful pics! Those girls are adorable. My fave pic, though, is Jettie & Mike.
Oh Bobbi, I love this family. How could Jettie not love Mikey. Someday he will make a great Daddie himself. There are so many favorites I could not choose. The photo with the Ninas is awesome as we well.
Holy moly you guys KILLED this session. Love the realness that you captured of this beautiful family!
Yep, these are the best!!!! SO so happy and full of love!
Oh my goodness!! The shot of Florence looking at you! Ha!! I actually laughed out loud when it came up on my screen! Perfecto! And what a SWEEEEEEETTTT family!!! LOVE these! Love the dynamic you captured and the play and the quietness all wrapped up!! SO good!!
The trail of memories you are establishing for this family? Priceless! You capture joy in the most amazing ways! Home sessions are the way to go to be sure-how amazing will it be for them to look back 10 years, 20 years, 30 years from now and see all that love in their own home! So awesome! It is 20+ years later for our small family and I so wish I had something like this!
These photos are everything!! Who could forget these two???!!! I LOVE watching bobbi brides have families and you documenting them in the process. So you asked who in Indy wants a home fam session?? The DLVs! Number 5??
These are wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!
I love these SO!!!!! Just beautiful…
Absolutely love all of these!!! I love your in-home sessions. They are perfection 🙂
Yesssss. Everything about this is perfection. My favorite kinds of sessions as well. Gorgeous family – these photos are going to look stunning all over the walls!

One of the most characteristic towns that I visited in Tuscany is San Gimignano, nearFirenze. I stayed there during my last holiday in Tuscany, in a farmhouse really beautiful. There was a restaurant and a swimming pool overlooking sille towers. It’s called Farm Raccianello and both me and my parents really enjoyed it.
