Welcome to the Piper + Claire blog.
It’s been a little quiet here—but not behind the scenes.
This space is evolving into a place for guidance, insight, and everything you need to feel prepared for your session.

Here is a family that I have photographed several times over the years. It is so crazy watching families grow over time ….. these kids are adorable and full of energy, and almost my height now :) Of course, Dad is obviously very tall! This was a mini session that took place downtown along the canal …. I will probably do mini sessions again late summer or early fall. Email me at gina{at}piperandclaire.com if you are interested in scheduling a session!

I’ve been having lots of requests for cake smash sessions here lately, so I thought I would share a one-year old’s birthday party that I photographed last summer. I love sessions like this, because I get to be a fly on the wall and just photograph special moments as they happen. It’s reminiscent of when I was doing weddings …. just not as much work going into it! We captured all of the details of the little lady’s day, an boy, did mom do it up right! I do get asked occasionally if I do events like this, and yes, I do …. I charge my normal session rate, and if we go over, it’s just an hourly charge added in. Send me an email at gina{at}piperandclaire.com if you’re interested in capturing a special day for one of your loved ones!

My favorite photos always come from the family just hanging out at home. I loved every single photo from this session …. this big set is just a sampling of what we got that day. I’ve taken their photos since big brother was one ….. so fun when clients turn into friends :)

Can you actually have fun at a photo session? Absolutely! Here are some more mini session photos from the same spot I’ll be shooting on May 1 in Indianapolis. 30 minutes is plenty of time to get lots of fun shots!
30 minutes – $300 – entire amount goes towards your order
