My Son is a Senior! 🎓✨ I really can’t even believe it. Time needs to slow down! We took his senior photos at his Dad’s farm over the summer. I showed up and his hair was uncombed and his clothes were a little bit dirty …. but none of that matters. We had a really good time and he actually kind of got into it!
He’s planning to go to Hanover this fall! Super proud of him and so very excited for him :)

That old familiar crisp air feeling is starting to show its face …. Fall mini sessions are a hot commodity, and we are quickly working our way there! These sessions are the perfect blend of quality and convenience for all those busy bees out there in Central Indiana. Families with packed schedules will find these shorter sessions a blessing.
How is a mini session different from a full session?
So, what’s the big deal with these family sessions? Well, they are quick, budget-friendly photo shoots, perfectly suitable for capturing those fleeting moments in life. Whether it’s a family photo, a milestone event, or senior portraits, these sessions can be a great idea for you!
Family schedules can be crazy hectic, right? Trust me, I get it. These family fall minis are designed to provide you with fantastic family photos without demanding much of your time. Just a few minutes with your loved ones, and voila, you’ve got memories to cherish forever! These sessions are also ideal for capturing milestone events – first steps, first birthday, missing teeth …. I could go on and on! They are perfect for those who want beautiful, professional photos without investing in a full-length session.
For those teenagers who dread the thought of a long photoshoot, shorter sessions can be a lifesaver. Quick, efficient, and painless – the ideal solution to get those tween or even senior photos done. Not to mention, our sessions are just the ticket for those busy toddlers who can’t sit still. The brief nature of these sessions means we capture their energy and joy before their attention wanes.
The beauty of these sessions is that they require only a few moments of your time, yet deliver spectacular family portraits you’ll cherish forever. Minis are designed to capture the essence of your family, the bonds, and love, in a swift, no-fuss manner. Head to this link to browse some pictures that will give you some mini session photography tips!
Pricing
Mini sessions will save you some money, as the time put into the actual shoot itself is less, which will likely result in less photos to edit. You can book a session to take place at any location – your home, a park … just like the full session, but it is a 30 minute session. This can be plenty of time for those little ones with very short attention spans or a grumpy teen that is only agreeing to a few photos!
So, if you’re based in Indianapolis or the surrounding Central Indiana region and looking for a quick, efficient way to capture life’s moments, consider Piper+Claire’s short and sweet sessions! The convenience and adaptability of these sessions make them hard to turn down for any photography need. You won’t be disappointed!
I also offer mini sessions that all take place on the same date at the same location. I offer these when the fall colors are bright, and again in the theme of Christmas sessions. I will send out information with the deets here soon …. sign up here if you want to be on the list!

Indianapolis Photos | Where to Shoot around Indy
As an Indianapolis photographer, my goal is to capture families in their most authentic moments. Indianapolis photography sessions offer numerous picturesque locations perfect for family photos. Whether it’s the natural beauty of Eagle Creek Park, the historic charm of Lockerbie Square, or the artistic vibe of Fountain Square, each location lends its own unique touch to your pictures. I strive to narrate your family’s story through my lens, capturing those candid moments that truly reflect the spirit of your family. So, let’s explore Indianapolis and create lasting memories together.
The essence of photography lies in capturing moments to create timeless memories. Having shot around the city for the past 20 years, I have had the unique opportunity to narrate captivating family stories against the backdrop of our vibrant and beautiful city!
Where Can We Shoot
Indy is more than just a bustling metropolis. It is a treasure trove boasting an array of picturesque locations that bring an extra dash of magic to your family pictures. Imagine your family’s giggles echoing through the expansive Eagle Creek Park, which offers an enchanting mix of woodlands and water, making it a perfect setting for a fun-filled family photoshoot.
But Indy isn’t just about natural beauty. Our city is chock-full of history and culture, evident in the charming, cobblestone streets of Lockerbie Square. I’ve always been fascinated with how the historic charm of this neighborhood adds a touch of timeless elegance to photographs. Family portraits taken here will never disappoint.
For families with a creative streak, there’s no place quite like Fountain Square. Known for its dynamic arts scene and colorful murals, this neighborhood provides an artistic vibe to your family pictures. Your photos will truly be one-of-a-kind, just like your family! Bonus – make a day of it and grab a bite to eat or do some shopping before or after your session!
The photos above were taken at The Bottleworks District. Located near downtown Indianapolis, this is a fun little spot that has lots of dining, shopping, and entertainment!
Downtown Indianapolis
Of course, I’ll never tire of a downtown alley that may appear to be a bit questionable to shoot in …. If you read through my website, you’ll notice that I mostly chase light, texture, and color, three things that are fun to discover in and downtown!
Don’t forget about our city’s sparkling gem – the downtown Canal Walk. As an indianapolis photographer, I can’t get enough of this stunning urban waterway. The Canal Walk’s shimmering waters and beautifully landscaped walkways provide a gorgeous backdrop for family photos. Imagine your little one’s smiles against the backdrop of glistening waters, with the city’s architectural marvels peeping through. It’s a versatile spot, offering a blend of urban charm and tranquil natural beauty. Trust me, the Indianapolis Canal Walk never disappoints!
It is an such an honor to capture these unique moments, all the while showcasing the diverse beauty of our city. I believe each family has a unique story to tell, and I aim to reflect this in every picture I take. There are SO MANY places to photograph families around Indianapolis, the sky is the limit!
Are you ready to explore the hidden gems of Indianapolis while creating lasting memories with your loved ones? Let’s head out and let the city of Indianapolis be the backdrop against which your family’s love and laughter is captured!
