The Nikkel Family | Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park

There’s something special about Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park in the fall. The way the leaves explode into warm colors makes it a perfect backdrop for family photography sessions. Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park has wonderful wide-open fields for kiddos to run and play in. The wildflower fields are actually most beautiful in the fall, and provided an amazing backdrop for our portrait session!

Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park Photo Session

The Nikkel family has three amazing kiddos: Grace, Norah, and Pete. Together they were such fun to photograph. They were super silly and loved playing together. Pete wanted to do EVERYTHING his sisters did. But, most of all, he loved snuggling with Mommy throughout the session. Pete gave the best hugs and the sweetest kisses.

Grace and Norah were pretty much inseparable. They had so much fun playing together between shots and location changes as we wandered through the park together. These three kids had such fun, silly energy. Part of what makes photographing families so interesting is to document that beautiful energy young kids have. It’s so awesome to see how they explore, play and experience the world at different ages. As a mother of three myself, it’s so much fun to photograph children when they are having a blast, and even better when they are having a blast TOGETHER.

An Indy Family Photo Session is all about capturing fun candid moments with real laughter, real smiles, and real emotions. If you would like to schedule your own family photo session with your children, I would love to hear from you!
