Why I Don’t Schedule Newborn Sessions Until After Baby Arrives

I often get asked: “Can we schedule our newborn session date in advance?” The answer—nope, and here’s why.

How I Became an Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

As a kid, I had big dreams. Not of becoming a photographer—but of owning my own daycare.
