If there’s one thing that makes my job as a family photographer even more rewarding than it already is, it’s how I have a chance to see a family again and again. That’s the case with the Lund family. I have loved being able to photograph them through the years as their three amazing kiddos grow. I photographed an in-home family lifestyle photography shoot for them earlier this year, but when I met up with them for family portraits at the Indianapolis Central Public Library, it was for another fun occasion: A Little Dreamers Tutus Traveling Dress Photoshoot!

Abby and the Traveling Dress

I’ve photographed a few of the Little Dreamers Tutus Traveling Dresses, and every dress has been something that little girls dream of wearing. There’s something so magical about putting on a beautiful gown like something out of a fairytale. Something about dressing up like a fairytale princess makes a little girl’s heart sing. Abby was no exception. She was in LOVE with the dress. With her long, long hair, she looked like the princess of the library.

While the photoshoot was mostly focused on the traveling dress, we took portraits of the whole family. Everyone dressed up for the occasion! Sam, the oldest, is super sweet. He showed off his flossing skills, as well as his missing teeth! He’s growing up SO fast. Little Matthew was not in love with the camera, but we still managed to squeeze out some smiles. Amanda (Mom) looked absolutely stunning in her gown, by Chiara Boni La Petite Robe, from Rent the Runway, and her purple hair lowlights were so pretty next to Abby's dress. Abby's hair bow matched the bow ties of the boys (although Matthew didn't want to wear his!).

Indianapolis Central Public Library Photography

The Central Library is a gorgeous location, a great option for taking family portraits during the cold months so you can stay warm. A permit is required, but that can be easily arranged between our staff and the library staff. There are a LOT of gorgeous nooks and crannies here, and a wide variety of architectural styles between the old, original building and the new, modern addition. I loved how the style of the photographs changed as we moved from area to area and I am so pleased at what a great backdrop it was for this family photo session.

Amanda and Stephen, thank you for continuing to trust me to photograph your family. I am so happy that I can document these moments and memories for you.
