About Me

My photo
Carmel, Indiana, United States
Meredith (Saad) Loughmiller was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. She went to Indiana University where she majored in Elementary Education and took a series of fine arts and photography courses. After graduating, Meredith taught in Chicago Public Schools for 8 years. After 9 years in the Windy City she moved to Carmel, Indiana to settle down with her young family. Following a few years as a stay-at-home mom, Meredith embarked on something for herself utilizing many skills and talents that sat dormant for too long! Lo and behold: ml photography. Although Meredith continues to enjoy staying home with her three children, ML Photography has been a successful endeavor for four years now!

She's TWO! Let's Party.

As I've said before, I think family gatherings are WONDERFUL opportunities to hire a photographer!  What a great way to get photos of your family, and then images of all your relatives with you too!  Because I like taking candid photos, and working with children and families, these events are especially fun for me.  Not to mention, this family has always been amazing to work with.  They are very "go with the flow" when I'm with them.  Their relatives were the same way at this party.  I never felt like that awkward photographer lurking in the corners.  I just enjoyed watching everyone interact... the youngest was the star of the show, but you know how it goes... somehow they both were!

I'm sorry for the large number of photos here... I made them smaller to make it faster to view them.  I wanted the family members to all see themselves on the blog.  If you click on the first photo you can slide show through them if you want to get a much better look at them.

I'm already looking forward to my next extended family photo family session at the end of July!

When You Least Expect It

When you least expect it your child will turn on the charm!  Momma was a little stressed about how well her ONE year old little girl was going to do... and as I promised... she not only did fine, she turned on the charm and preformed incredibly well!  I'm anticipating many more great photo shoots for this girl!  Missed naps, cutting teeth, fevers, ear aches, terrible two's (or three's)... I've heard it all now.  Children are amazing and for some reason they preform and behave well when we least expect it!  And somehow, even if they don't, you will get photographs that you cherish.

Entertaining Little Mover!

Grabbing a time slot that was open at the last minute gave this family some precious one year photos of their baby girl!  It was nearly impossible to pick my favorites!  This little one has a ton of personality, which is why she actually entertained ME during the photo shoot... except for the few times I made her laugh ;)  It's funny to see still images of her now, because her constant motion is still fresh in my head!
