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 […]

Taylor Swift-Themed 1st Birthday Cake Smash – Indianapolis Photographer

The setup included a friendship bracelet backdrop with all the sparkle and shimmer you’d expect from a Taylor-inspired shoot. The birthday girl’s outfit was absolutely perfect—she wore a stunning purple lace dress adorned with butterflies that matched the vibe beautifully.

How to Choose the Perfect Outfit for Your Baby for Your Newborn Photography Session

When it comes to newborn photos, less is more—especially when it comes to outfits. The truth is, newborns often swim in traditional clothing, and it’s usually unflattering in photos. You want to see your little one, not an oversized outfit swallowing them up!

How to Choose the Perfect Cake Smash Theme for Your One-Year-Old

Your baby’s first birthday is such a special milestone! A cake smash session is a fun way to celebrate and capture this moment. Picking the perfect theme can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips to help you get started!

Why You Should Schedule Your Newborn Session Before Baby Arrives

I only schedule 7-10 newborns per month. This allows me to give each family the time and attention they deserve. However, because of this, my calendar fills up quickly. If you wait until after baby is born to book, you may miss your spot. If you baby is here, it never hurts to reach out and ask if I have any openings, but it’s best to book before baby arrives!

Twin Newborn Girls – Indianapolis Twin Newborn Photographer

I met these twin girls’ parents for the first time at their maternity session. But it feels like I have known them forever. They are the sweetest, most loving, and doting parents you could ever meet. These twin girls were very wanted, despite being a big surprise. Now, they are so loved.

Rainbows and Hot Air Balloons: A Magical Cake Smash Session

Building custom backdrops for my clients is a creative outlet for me. I love diving into the process and bringing these visions to life. This particular session was especially delightful. The mix of rainbows and balloons added a whimsical touch, perfect for a cake smash.

What to Expect During Your Sitter Milestone Session

I love sitter milestone sessions! Capturing babies at this stage is so special. These sessions are best when your baby can sit soundly on their own. You should feel comfortable leaving your baby on a hard surface without fear of toppling over. This usually happens around 7 months old, but every baby is different. If your baby isn’t sitting solidly yet, we can reschedule.

Sitter Session: How to Prepare for Your Milestone Photography Session

Hey there! I’m your friendly neighborhood Indianapolis photographer, and I’ve had the privilege of capturing some truly heartwarming milestone photography sessions recently. There just aren’t enough hours in the day to blog all the milestone sessions that I photograph, but I thought I would combine a few sessions and share some insights to help you […]
