How do I book a session?

You can book by calling or texting 317-867-3723 or by filling out the contact form on our website. We'll chat about your vision and find a date that works for you.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for newborns. Newborn sessions should ideally be scheduled before your baby arrives since the best window is within the first 2-3 weeks of birth.

Do you shoot indoors, outdoors, or both?

Both! We have a fully equipped studio and also shoot at beautiful outdoor locations throughout Hamilton County.

How many photos will I receive?

The number varies by session type, but you'll receive a generous collection of fully edited, professional images.

What should I wear to my session?

We'll send you a styling guide after you book! Generally, soft neutrals and coordinating (not matching) outfits photograph beautifully. Avoid busy patterns and large logos.

How long does a session take?

It depends on the type of session. Full newborn sessions with family and sibling shots can go anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours. Other full sessions typically last about an hour.

How long until I get my photos?

Your proof gallery will be ready within 2 weeks of your session. You'll receive a private online gallery to view, share, and order from.

How long have you been a photographer?

I have been serving families in the Carmel and Indianapolis area for 25 years and am a proud member of Portrait Photographers of America.
