How to Choose the Perfect Senior Photographer in Indianapolis, Indiana

Seniors

Senior year is a special time filled with memories, achievements, and dreams for the future. Capturing these precious moments through senior photography is important. If you’re looking for a senior photographer in Indianapolis, Indiana, you’re in the right place. In this blog post, we’ll guide you in selecting the perfect photographer to ensure amazing senior photos in central Indiana.

  1. Focus Locally: When choosing a senior photographer, consider someone familiar with the local area. An Indianapolis senior photographer knows the best locations, lighting, and backdrops. They understand the central Indiana community and can capture your personality and style in a way that fits the local culture.
  2. Review Portfolios: Take time to browse through a photographer’s portfolio. Look at their website or social media to see their style, creativity, and versatility. Find photographers experienced in senior photography in Indiana, as they understand the preferences of this region. Look for quality, attention to detail, and the ability to capture genuine emotions in their work.
  3. Seek Recommendations: Ask friends, family, or fellow seniors for recommendations. Learn about their experience with a photographer’s professionalism, ability to make them feel comfortable, and overall satisfaction with the results. Personal recommendations offer valuable insights and help narrow down options.
  4. Customize and Packages: Each senior is unique, and your photos should reflect that. Whether you prefer outdoor shoots in Indianapolis’ landmarks or studio sessions showcasing your style, find a photographer who can accommodate your vision.

Prioritize customization to ensure your photos reflect your individuality. Get ready to capture unforgettable memories that will be treasured for a lifetime!

This session took place in Carmel, Indiana with one of my favorites, Ali! I’ve photographed Ali and her family since she was a toddler. We did this laid-back, quick and easy session at their home after a family photo shoot. It was perfect because her dogs and Jeep were right there and she could run inside and change clothes.

My girl is a senior!

Seniors

Jae jokingly said we should do her senior pictures in NC because it’s our favorite place to vacation, and I thought that was a great idea! I have photographed so many seniors over the years, and now it was time for my own …. Work and play are fun to mix, and the other two kids tagged along. We had a great time after our quarantine that seemed to last way too long, and now seems like it’s kind of a distant memory. She and I have been to the Wilmington area repeatedly since she was three, so these photos will always be a great memory for me and Jaeda. So many of my clients have watched her grow up online, everyone knows so many details about my kids just from us following one another on facebook and getting to know each other over the years. It’s pretty special. Here is the little girl that inspired me to start this business that has amazingly reached so many people over the years :)

These were shot in downtown Wilmington and Carolina Beach. Carolina Beach was way too crowded, not our favorite place, but the colors there were pretty hard to say no to!

(this is part one. there will be many more to follow!!)

Let me know if you’re interested in senior photos. I am willing to travel, if the location is right :) CONTACT ME with any questions!

Gorgeous Senior in Rushville

Seniors

I met up with this lovely young lady on a hot morning in Rushville. I love shooting in my hometown, there are really a ton of great spots here to get creative with! I typically shoot in the evening, so I always tend to get a tiny bit nervous about battling the sun in the morning/afternoon, but then I wonder why I don’t shoot earlier in the day more often! The light was PERFECT, and it was sunny! I know that there is a rumor out there that you can’t shoot in full sun, but that just isn’t true. Full sun creates such wonderful fill light, you just need to know how to work with it. Best of luck to this senior next year as she sets off to do her own thing!!!

Disney Session!

Children

Did you know that we can essentially shoot anywhere!? This family had a trip scheduled to Disney and asked if I would be up for a day trip where I could capture their memories. This involved a flight, hotel, up early the next morning, shooting most of the day, then flight home. With four energetic kids …. it was HOT, and it was FUN!! Can you feel the magic!?

So I had always been the Mom that said I would never spend the money or time at Disney … until I was there. The energy, the colors, the costumes, the rides, the detail, the quality of all of the exhibits …. holy cow. I had a lump in my throat during the parade and decided my kids HAD to see Disney. And then Covid …. we’ll plan it at some point, and I don’t think there is an age that is too old to enjoy this magical place, so I won’t sweat that. Thank you to the H Family for including me in one of MY most magical days!!!

Are you interested in a travel session, or a personal session maybe closer to home? :) Contact me and we can get something on the calendar!
