Aspin and I met in a photographer’s Facebook group in the summer of 2024. She had a fresh toddler. I was expecting my second kiddo. I never expected that we’d be meeting in person just one year later! When I offered my “pay-what-you-can” photo sessions during the government shutdown, Aspin roadtripped with our friend, Annie, to take advantage of the offer. And now I get to brag about the sweetest brand photos for a midwest motherhood and maternity photographer!

Aspin’s photography style is all about legacy and memories. She recognizes that motherhood is forever, but the moments that make it are fleeting. Aspin McKenzie Photography photographs everything from maternity to birth, newborn, milestone, and beyond. If you’re in the midwest and looking to document any part of your motherhood journey in photos, Aspin should be your first call.

Legacy is a crucial part of Aspin McKenzie’s offer as a Midwest Motherhood + Maternity Photographer. She focuses on helping you hold on to every sweet moment with your kiddos, so we needed to show that in her photos. That meant albums on albums on albums. Aspin includes prints and albums in all her packages to help you preserve your memories and leave a legacy for your family, so we highlighted the albums that inspired her to become a photographer in the first place.

Aspin’s laugh is just the sweetest. She’s used to being behind the camera, so we had to work hard to get some natural smiles, which meant lots of attempts at making her laugh. When we managed to make it happen, it was truly magical.

These brand photos for Aspin McKenzie Photography, Midwest Motherhood + Maternity Photographer, were so sweet and joyful! Seeing how much care and love she puts into the details of a session and the curation of an album made me want to book a session right there!
Speaking of sessions, if you’re in the Midwest and looking for Motherhood + Maternity phots, you can book with Aspin on her website. And if you’re in Indiana looking for brand photos, we should chat. As of this post, I’ve got about 6 months before we move to our next duty station (military life is grand), so if you’re thinking about photos in 2026, now is the time!
