Katie and Sam reached out over Labor Day weekend for a mini session at Holcomb Gardens on Butler University’s campus. Their goal was to have photos ready early for their Christmas cards—which honestly surprised me in the best way! Most people wait until the last minute for holiday photos, so I was thrilled to work with […]

Monticello Senior Photographers | Katelyn Class of 2026 I can’t believe Katelyn is already a senior! I remember when she was born, and it feels like time has flown by.

Monticello, Indiana Senior Photos | Jarred Class of 2026 I had so much fun photographing Jarred’s senior photos in Monticello, Indiana this year!

As an Indianapolis photographer, I spend so much of my time behind the camera—capturing families, couples, and all the little moments in between. But recently, I had the chance to step in front of the lens myself for something really special: our own family photos before my son Beau’s birthday. Every summer, I make it […]

Big news from behind the lens — I officially joined a photography studio in downtown Indianapolis! You may have already heard from my new headshot blog, but this is my official announcement and I’m beyond excited to now offer studio sessions for all family and newborn photography clients — at no extra cost to you.

I can hardly believe I’m writing this: a whole decade behind the lens. Ten years of smiling faces, heartfelt moments, quiet glances, happy tears, and lots of chasing golden hour.
