Short, Candid Photography Sessions in Indiana
A relaxed intro session for families who want photos that feel like them… chaotic kids, big feelings, and all.
Based in Indiana • Serving Indianapolis, Bloomington, Terre Haute & surrounding areas
These sessions are intentionally limited and offered weekdays and the first weekend of each month only.
The Intro Session Includes:
20 minute relaxed session
10 hand-edited digital images
Family, maternity, or couples
Guidance the entire time (no awkward posing)
$250
Most families use this as a first step before booking a full session in the future.
This short session is the kind where kids are allowed to move, couples don’t feel awkward, and nothing has to be perfect to be meaningful.
I’m a Midwest family photographer focused on real life moments, not stiff/ awkward poses or forced smiles. That means I don’t expect kids to sit still, I don’t rush connection, and I don’t over-direct.
If your family feels a little chaotic, you’re not behind, you’re exactly who this works best for.
These sessions are especially good for families with young kids, couples who want something natural, or anyone who’s never done professional photos and wants an easy place to start. We keep it short, relaxed, and flexible so it feels doable, not like another item on your to-do list.
Whether we’re photographing your family at home, outside, or somewhere meaningful, the goal is simple: photos that feel like you actually existed in this moment, not like you performed for the camera.
If you’re looking for a family photographer in Indiana who lets kids be kids, a couples photographer who keeps it relaxed, or a documentary-style photographer in the Midwest, this is the easiest way to work together for the first time.
This session works best for families/ couples who…
Have young kids who won’t sit still for an hour
Want updated photos but don’t want to plan a whole production
Haven’t done professional photos in a few years (or ever)
Want something quick and meaningful, not overwhelming

Yes, these sessions can be used for senior photos, especially for seniors who want something simple, natural, and not overly styled.
That said, if you’re looking for outfit changes, multiple locations, or a more customized experience, a full senior session may be a better fit.

They don’t need to.
I document families the way they actually are: movement, noise, snacks, breaks included. I’ll guide things when needed, but the session works with your kids, not against them.
-
I’ll give light guidance when needed, but most of the session focuses on interaction and fun rather than stiff posing. You won’t be asked to stand still and smile at the camera the entire time.
The goal is to document you having fun and being yourselves. If anyone freezes up or gets nervous, I’ll redirect in a relaxed way so it never feels awkward, I promise!
