INDIANAPOLIS PHOTOGRAPHER
[Documentary] [Soul] [Art]

​Photography Sessions

​Hi, I'm Lindsey!:) Are you looking to capture the sacred and timeless real life, candid moments? Do you want to capture the classic beauty in every moment and detail? Are you looking for something unique, genuine and personal? ​Great! Me too!:) If my photos make your soul happy, than I'd love to document your story.  
​
I'm an artist and natural light photographer. I studied Fine Art Photography, and my work is a stylized and artistic approach to Fine Art Photography. I really love to play off scenery, composition, emotion, and sound aesthetics within my sessions. I especially love black and white imagery and creating composition into art!:)
My goal isn't physical perfection or the perfect pose, it's about real life, your story, your love, and capturing the unique moment encompassed into a beautiful composition. For me, life is art, and art is Soul, which is why I do all of my shooting and editing myself!

I offer competitive prices for the Indianapolis area and my sessions include high resolution images edited and cared for; with full printing and sharing rights. The Photo sharing Gallery elegantly shares your imagery for family and friends with easy downloading and print purchases. With me, you don't need to spend a fortune to get beautiful wedding images, just ask any of my clients! (E-mail me for a ​​Phone Consultation) ​

​​Q...  How do I prepare for my shoot?

Look at examples on my website! I play off scenery, composition, emotion, and Art.  Plan on interacting, playing, having fun, laughing, joking! I will pose as needed and my photographic work is documentary in nature. I want to capture you in your element. Not all people are naturals at posing, and that is where I come in! My work is a combination of the two. I will guide you along the way. Remember, the relationship between you and your partner, or family, or friend, is what I want to capture! Don't expect the typical prom picture or glamour shot!:) I want you to live in front of me, and I will guide you!



​Q... When and where is the best time to shoot?

Outdoors
Early morning {Pre-sunrise}
Early Evening {Pre-sunset}



Q... What if the forecast predicts rain for our outdoor session?

I'm a natural light photographer and don't do indoor sessions (other than newborn and weddings), so if there is a significant chance of rain for the day of your shoot we will need to reschedule a day in the near future that works best for clients and photographer.




Q... Do I need to fill out a contract or make a downpayment?

Wedding Dates are secured upon Signed Contract and $400.00 or 50% Deposit.

All photo photo sessions require a contract and non-refundable downpayment of at least $100.00 to secure your date- due at booking, the remainder is due 24 hours prior to the session.  If the remainder isn't paid prior to midnight on the day before the scheduled session, then the session will be rescheduled.  I really try to be very accommodating and flexible to the best of my abilities. I understand we all live busy lives, especially with little ones! Rescheduling a session shouldn't be a problem.




Q.  Is there a Travel Fee?


Travel Fee is .5/mile outside of 50 miles round trip of home base. 





Q... What is the turn around time for sessions?


Photo sessions vary depending on the type of shoot from 2 to 4 weeks including delivery. Weddings can take longer, typically between 6 to 12 weeks. Photo books may take longer. (Special accommodations may be made).




Q.... How is the best way to contact you and what are helpful questions?


The best way to contact me is E-mail @ [email protected].   I'm not in the office every day or during regular business hours, so it may take me a couple of days to respond, however, I always do my best to respond as soon as possible and promptly! I really pride myself in timely correspondence and dedication to my clients. 

It's helpful to plan ahead. Think about how you want your photos to look, and communicate that with me:) Let me know what your personal insecurities are! Try sending me 5-10 images of photos you really like! 






Q... When and where is the best time to do a newborn session?


The best time for a newborn session is within the first 14 days. The first couple days the newborn may have some bruising or misshaping, and within the first two weeks is when the infant sleeps the most. The best time to schedule your newborn session is during your pregnancy and have a time frame in mind. Newborn sessions can be done in a home with a lot of natural light (or outside if the weather permits). A living space with large open windows, sitting area, and hardwood floors, the parents bedroom, and nursery are all great areas to shoot. The house needs to be heated warm enough for the infant to be wearing only a diaper, and it is best to feed, burp, and change baby right before i arrive (or when I arrive as it will take me a few minutes to unload and set-up). Mom and dad should wear something comfortable, preferably black. Short sleeved or sleeveless tops (skin on skin) often look best for design purposes. Newborn sessions require a lot of patience as we might need to wait through a feeding and changing, and it very common for accidents to occur. Actually, plan on it!:) The more relaxed mom and dad are, the more relaxed baby is. The session lasts about an hour, give or take.  Newborn sessions can have a longer turn around time. 

I come to you! I bring all of my equipment and props to your home. The last thing you want to do after just having a baby is spend two hours loading up your car with newborn items. You can stay in the comfort of your home. Don't stress about a clean house, you just had a baby (Trust me, i was there, and I was very overwhelmed)! I definitely don't care if dishes are piled up in the kitchen! Just toss the clutter (in the rooms we will use) in a closet. Open all of the blinds and window treatments to allow for a TON of natural light. Lay out any props or outfits you may want for the session. Pump an extra bottle ahead of time and have it ready. The goal is to have a sleeping baby!
