Portrait Studio on the Historic Noblesville Square
Photography Featured In
Meet Noblesville Photographer Leah Severson.
Hi, I’m Leah. My portrait studio sits at 68 North 9th Street, right on the square in downtown Noblesville. If you’ve walked past, you’ve probably noticed the brick storefronts and historic charm that make this such a special place to shoot.
I’ve been photographing families throughout the Noblesville area for 25 years, and my studio has been on this square for six years. It’s a community I know well, from newborns who are now seniors, to couples expecting their first baby who now bring their whole crew back for cake smashes and family portraits.
When you book with me, you get a cozy studio on the historic square with wraps, props, outfits, and backdrops ready to go, plus outdoor options all around Noblesville. Let’s get you on the calendar.
Portrait Photography Services at My Noblesville Studio
From the quiet magic of a sleeping newborn to the joyful chaos of a cake smash, I document the moments Noblesville families want to hold onto. My studio is set up for newborn sessions, baby milestones, cake smashes, and boudoir, all indoors, climate-controlled, and private. Family, maternity, and senior sessions often happen outdoors at the spots below, and we can plan those in the studio, outside, or a mix of both.
Expecting? A maternity session can happen right in my studio or out on the square. Those brick storefronts and big factory windows downtown make for some of my favorite maternity backdrops.
For families and high school seniors, Noblesville gives us so much to work with: Forest Park’s carousel and trails, Potters Bridge’s covered bridge over the White River, and the historic square itself. We’ll pick whatever fits your family’s style, whether that’s polished and classic or relaxed and candid.

Great Places to Take Pictures in Noblesville, Indiana
After 25 years photographing families throughout this area, these are the spots near my studio that I come back to again and again.
Forest Park
701 Cicero Road
Forest Park is the most versatile location in town, with a historic carousel, mature trees, open lawns, and trails all within a short walk of each other. It’s my go-to when a family wants several different looks without driving all over Noblesville.
Potters Bridge
19401 Allisonville Road
This is the picture-postcard spot: a historic covered bridge over the White River, surrounded by wooded trails. It photographs beautifully in every season, especially fall, and gives portraits a warm, rustic feel that’s distinctly Noblesville.
Downtown Noblesville Square
8th, 9th, Logan & Conner Streets
Steps from my studio door, with brick streets, vintage storefronts, and architecture that hasn’t changed much in a hundred years. Perfect for seniors who want an urban, editorial feel, or maternity sessions with a classic small-town backdrop.
Federal Hill Commons
175 Logan Street
A newer riverside park with an amphitheater and open lawn overlooking the White River. It blends a more modern, manicured look with the river’s natural scenery, which is great for families who want something polished but not stiff.
Dr. James A. Dillon Park
6001 Edenshall Lane
Wide-open fields, tall grasses, and wildflowers that catch the light beautifully at golden hour. This is where I send families and seniors who want that dreamy, sun-soaked, wide-field look.
Hague Road Nature Haven
State Road 38 & Hague Road
A quieter spot with wooded trails, creek access, and lots of greenery. I love this one for intimate sessions: small families, maternity, or anyone who wants a calm, uncrowded backdrop.
Frequently Asked Questions About My Noblesville Studio
Where exactly is your studio?
My studio is at 68 North 9th Street, right on the historic square in downtown Noblesville. There’s street parking nearby, and it’s an easy walk from anywhere downtown.
Do you only photograph clients who live in Noblesville?
Not at all. I have clients from all over Hamilton County and the greater Indianapolis area. But if you live in or near Noblesville, my studio is probably closer to you than you’d expect.
How far in advance should I book?
For newborn sessions, ideally during your second trimester. The best window is the first two to three weeks after birth, and my calendar fills quickly. For family, maternity, and senior sessions, four to six weeks ahead is a good rule of thumb, especially in spring and fall.
How much does a session cost?
My prices are posted on each service page, and every session includes full reprint rights. Check the page for the type of session you’re interested in, or send me a message and I’ll help you pick the right fit.
How long is a session?
It depends on the session you book. Every session type has a mini and a full option, and seniors can choose from four session options. The details for each are on the service pages, and I’m happy to help you pick the right one.
Can we shoot outdoors at Forest Park or Potters Bridge?
Absolutely. Both are just minutes from my studio, and I shoot at each of them regularly. We can plan a session entirely outdoors, entirely in-studio, or a mix of both.
Do I need to bring props or outfits for a newborn session?
No. My studio has a full collection of wraps, backdrops, headbands, and handmade props. Just bring the baby.
When will I get my photos?
After your session, you’ll get a link to a proof gallery where you choose your favorites. I retouch those images and deliver your final gallery within two to three weeks of your selection, with full reprint rights and digital downloads. You can also order prints and wall art from the final gallery.
What should we wear?
Solid colors and simple layers usually photograph best. I’ll help you plan outfits once you book. For more ideas, see my guides on what to wear for a newborn session and what to wear for senior portraits.
Do you travel to other locations?
Yes. Most family, maternity, and senior sessions are outdoors, so I’ll meet you at one of the spots above or another place that matters to you.

Serving Families Throughout Noblesville, Indiana
My studio sits right on the square, but I photograph families from every corner of Noblesville, from established neighborhoods like Stony Creek, Hazel Dell Woods, and Holston Hills to newer communities like Sagamore, Cumberland Pointe, and Prairie Crossing. Whether you’re a short walk from downtown or out near Morse Reservoir, you’re closer to my studio than you might think. I also photograph families in nearby Westfield and Indianapolis.
Noblesville has grown a lot over the years, but the square itself and the sense of community around it haven’t changed much. I love being part of that, and I love that so many of the families I first photographed as new parents are now bringing me their kids’ senior pictures.
