Honoring Culture and Family in Newborn Photography – Serving Indian Families in Indianapolis

I love photographing newborns. Every family is different. Every session tells its own story. For many Indian families, tradition is a big part of that story. From the colors to the clothing to the customs, these details matter. I understand that, and I’m here to make sure they’re included in your baby’s first portraits. Timing […]

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. Birth Is Unpredictable Even if you have a scheduled induction or C-section, things can change. Inductions can take 6 hours… or 3 full days. Sometimes babies come earlier. Sometimes they take their sweet time. It’s just the […]

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. I spent hours sketching my imaginary building, complete with twisty slides from the second story to the first, ball pits, climbing walls, and bright spaces filled with laughter. I dreamed of all the babies I’d get to hold, […]

Red Hair, Tiny Toes, and So Much Love | Brownsburg Newborn Photographer

This little girl came into my newborn photography studio with the most beautiful red hair—and I knew right away the session would be special. She was tiny, sleepy, and completely perfect. I love capturing every little detail—curled toes, soft lashes, little smiles, and squishy cheeks—but her standout hair definitely stole the show. Her parents were […]

Why Indianapolis Families Return for Newborn Photography

I loved having this sweet family back in the studio! I photographed their son as a newborn a few years ago, and now they’re back with baby girl number two. There’s something special about seeing families grow. I still remember their first session. This time, big brother was full of energy (as most three-year-olds are), […]

Meet This Gorgeous Newborn Girl – Westfield Studio Session

Sweet Emilia came to my Zionsville studio from nearby Westfield—and she was a dream to photograph. She had a full head of dark hair and the brightest blue eyes. No surprise there—both mom and dad have stunning blue eyes too. This family made my job easy. We started with a few wrapped poses to help […]

Why I Sometimes Break My Newborn Workflow (And How It Pays Off)

As an Indianapolis newborn photographer with years of experience, I’ve developed a workflow that works. It’s structured, consistent, and designed to keep newborn sessions smooth and stress-free for everyone—especially baby. Every family who books a session with me gets a pre-session questionnaire. This helps me understand what they’re looking for—specific colors, family heirlooms, poses, or […]

First-time parents—I see you. You’re running on little sleep, your body just went through something major, and now you’re showing up for pictures? That’s a lot. But I promise, this session will feel like a deep breath. As an experienced Indianapolis newborn photographer, I’ve created a studio experience that’s calm, easy, and baby-led. Here’s what […]

Why the Last Baby Deserves Newborn Photos Just as Much as the First

As an Indianapolis newborn photographer and a mom of three, I’ve taken newborn pictures of all my kids. No question. It was never something I debated or put off. But when my third baby arrived, it hit different. He was our last. And suddenly, those newborn photos weren’t just about the baby—they were about our […]
