What kind of photographer are you?
My work has been described as soulful, authentic, cozy, & happy. I don’t use props, I’m looking for connection. Strongly sentimental, you’ll find no formal or traditional portraits here. While we might get a shot with everyone smiling and looking at the camera, it will be because it happened naturally. I aim to be a sincere storyteller. No facade. Real smiles, real laughter, real moments. I want to help you remember your life & love authentically, raw & beautiful.
What will my session be like?
There is not one formal bone in my body. All sessions are casual, personal, and fun! I will direct and guide you. We’ll play, cuddle your kids, run, & explore. I want to frame those in-between moments. Effortless & carefree.
Where will my session be?
You can choose from several types of locations: creek, park, field, woodsy, urban. Then I’ll chose the best spot for the look you want. There are so many beautiful locations in and around Indy and I’m always looking for more!
What time do you schedule sessions?
Sunset sessions are scheduled an hour and a half prior to sunset. Newborn sessions are planned on weekday mornings at 10am.
What should I wear?
I know it’s a challenge, but this can take your session from just okay to amazing! I love helping you choose what to wear for sessions. It really makes a HUGE difference in the final results. I strongly recommend neutrals or jewel tones for all sessions. For session in the studio neutral tones keep the focus on you and bold color can distract from the connection were are capturing. Outdoor sessions look best when clothing makes sense for the location and have tones that flow with the surroundings. Be comfortable, be yourself, add layers & accessories for texture. Please use the free styling service I offer! I’ve partnered with Style & Select to help you look & feel amazing. It’s fun, easy, and makes extraordinary styling affordable!
Will I get digital files?
Absolutely! All sessions include digital images delivered via digital download with full print release.
Can I order prints?
Yes! You can order prints and products right from your online gallery. I highly recommend printing this way for ideal quality.
Do newborn sessions include family & siblings?
Yes! I offer two types of newborn sessions. Styled studio and life inspired in your home. Both include baby, parent, sibling, & family images.
What is a life inspired session?
A gently directed & relaxed session in your home. These are perfect for the sentimental heart (like mine) that wants to remember life as it really is. Allowing natural interactions and focusing on your authentic relationships. I do still direct and guide you so you look and feel great.
Do you offer mini sessions?
Very rarely. Minis sessions are just not conducive to my style. I aim to provide a collection of images that tell your family’s story. I’m not looking for one “picture perfect” shot, quite the opposite. Also, I know kids. Often times, they take time to get comfortable and warm up, or slow down and relax. Mini sessions are always rushed with parent’s stressed out, feeling pressured for time and yelling “smile”. I’m sweating thinking about it. 😉 I will on the rare occasion offer timeless & classic (not themed with a bunch of props) mini sessions usually with proceeds going to a good cause.
Do you shoot weddings?
I don’t currently offer event photography of any kind. While we’re on the topic, I don’t shoot high school seniors, large extended families, business headshots, or birth photography.
Do you offer mentoring?
While I am always here to help and LOVE the photographer community, I don’t offer mentoring at this time. Let’s go have tacos together though, m’kay?!
