Christie McLaughlin Photography

Hi! Yes, I'm still around. And yes, I lied back in the fall when I said I'd post more. 🫢Life gets in the way and this page becomes neglected. I've been posting more on my IG account at www.instagram.com/christiemclaughlinphoto if you'd like to follow me there!
Anyway, here is a recent picture of one of my favorite subjects...my daughter! After a lot of hard work, her dream of being en pointe came to fruition a couple of months ago! So obviously I had to do a little shoot to commemorate the milestone. 😀

Oh hi! I'm still around! It's been a busy year for me, and I haven't been posting on this page. BUT that's about to change! Get ready for sneaks for my fall mini families!
First up, this awesome family. Kara does so much for our ballet studio, and she usually helps me behind the lens during studio photo shoots. But today she was on the other side of the camera, and I'd say they nailed it. 😀

We had perfect weather for Christmas minis tonight!! These two are in the holiday mood! 🎄

I interrupt your rainy day in Indiana to tell everyone that my niece is the cutest! 🥰

My baby sister is having a baby next month! How is this possible?! We can't wait to meet our new (and only) niece!

Have pets? I love including them in family pictures! They are part of the family after all! I had fun with the Sweet family last weekend!

I love seeing sweet families from our school!

I can't believe this family of five will be a family of six in a couple of weeks! I love watching these kids grow up.

I wish you could have heard their laughter throughout this whole session! So much love!
Also, if you need a hair stylist or Pampered Chef consultant, Sarah is awesome!

This family photo makes my heart so happy! ❤️ So much love!

I loved seeing one of my favorite families last night! Seriously, how adorable are they? :)

When the on the move two year old finally sits down, and the other kids start yelling "Take the picture! Take the picture!"....you take the picture! :) I love how much these sweet cousins love each other.

I think this may be my favorite photo from this session. You can see the love.

I love seeing these cousins several times a year. They really love each other.

When I saw that it was 60 degrees this afternoon, I made the kids (and our awesome dog) get dressed for a 10 minute photo shoot at our neighborhood park. Love my crew.

I changed my outdoor holiday minis a little bit. New day and new times! I am working on a special project, so I will unfortunately not have time to do my regular indoor holiday minis. So don't miss out on my outdoor ones! I will have extra props available--you can have as much or as little as you want.
This package comes with 5 edited photos (of your choice), and there is an option to buy more. These are perfect for your holiday cards!
Contact me to schedule a time or for more details!
Sessions take place in SW Carmel area.

I saw these sweet siblings yesterday! Caroline and William love their baby Catherine.

Tomorrow is the day! This is a picture from yesterday (I’m out of town camping with my Girl Scouts until tomorrow morning), but I’m sure the leaves are even more beautiful now! It’s happening quickly now! I have a couple of spots open tomorrow late afternoon and evening, so contact me ASAP! 🍁🍁

It's almost time for my backyard mini sessions! These are always popular, so make sure you book a spot soon. As always, I'll keep you all updated on the status of the leaves. But as of now, it looks like we still have a couple of weeks until they turn colors.

I refuse to believe this gorgeous girl is in middle school. Nope. She's still in second grade. ;)

I have a lot of great pictures of the two of them with huge smiles, but I just love this one!

I love how much these four love each other.

Hey everyone! I've been out of commission with bronchitis for the past two weeks, so I'm behind on posting sneak peeks. I'm am almost caught up though, so be on the lookout! All the fall and Christmas minis have been sent out for soft previews. Once you have picked the pictures you want me to edit, send me a message so I can get started on them. Thanks!!

I have a couple of spots open for tomorrow! Contact me ASAP if you want a spot!!

I love this picture. So much.

Here is the info for my outdoor holiday minis! These will be located on the SW side of Carmel. Contact me to claim a spot!

I can't handle this cuteness!

My indoor Christmas Minis are next weekend! Claim your spot asap!
The location is on the SW side of Carmel.

I will do anything to get a smile. Sometimes that means bringing out the big guns: my puppy! Adam was just.not.having anything to do with pictures, but Faith made him happy. :)

My beautiful friend and her sweet kids.

I know it’s super last minute, but I’m doing a fall mini session tomorrow (Sunday) night, and I can add 1-2 more families! $150 for 8 pictures. I’m going to scout the leaves situation at my favorite areas in the morning, and I’ll give you the location after. But it will be on the SW side of Carmel!

It's that time of year again! Who's ready for my backyard maple minis?! As of now, the only date I can't do is Oct. 20th...but that may change. So, pick any date that works best for you between Oct. 10-23, and let me know what time you'd like! As always, these are always a guessing game depending on when the leaves actually change, so we may postpone if mother nature isn't nice to us. ;) I love these sessions! :)

I.just.can't. How sweet are these two?!

Hey everyone! I looooove Christmas cards. If you are using my pictures on your card, I'd love to receive one if you have extras. 😀 Message me and I'll give you my address!

These two need to stop growing up so fast! Am I right Katie Sjoberg??

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones!

Next weekend! I still have some slots open, so contact me asap! I've also heard from a couple of people that this weekend doesn't work, so I'm thinking of opening one more weekend. Let me know if you'd need another weekend and I'll plan it!

Here's my holiday minis schedule! Contact me to reserve your spot!
