Max Nolan – Newborn Lifestyle Photography – Michiana Lifestyle Photographer

What an absolute honor it was to be apart of little Max Nolan’s entrance into this world and now his newborn session! I’ve known Marlise (mom) for over 5 years now. We used to work together at EGH and I also attended their beautiful outdoor wedding. 🙂

I’ve always loved Marlise & Zach’s home… the charm, the real hardwood and how you instantly feel like you’re home as soon as you walk in the front door. I knew I wanted to capture this exact feeling in Max’s photographs. An authentic, charming and down-to-earth look into Max’s daily life and of course mom and dad too! 😉

I said, “Kiss Marlise on the cheek.” Zach heard that as, “Lick Marlise on the cheek!” lol

 A little dad-son time!

 Again I had to instruct Zach to kiss Max, not lick him. haha

 I LOVED that there was a world map in Max's nursery! It made me think of his parents giving him the World!

“Let’s put him in a bowl!” Zach’s awesome idea… however his potato idea fell flat. 🙂

 Too cute for words!

Thanks Marlise & Zach (and Max) for letting me be apart of such a special time in your lives!
