Meet Jen!

I'm a family photographer located in Indianapolis Indiana with my husband, our labradoodle, and our baby girl.


I of course love all the basics: the great outdoors, good food, and traveling. I love being able to take my camera with me and capture the simple and beautiful moments of life. Aside from family photography, I also really enjoy nature photography as a hobby.


I specialize in light-filled, heartwarming family portraits that radiate connection and joy. My style blends clean natural light with soft color palettes and authentic emotion, resulting in timeless images full of life and love. Take a look at my portfolio and let’s get to capturing some memories!

About My Brand

Brand Aesthetic

Light-filled | Joyful | Natural | Timeless

My photography style is rooted in capturing real, heartfelt moments in soft, natural light. I gravitate

toward bright, clean imagery with true-to-life colors and a timeless feel - creating photos that feel as

warm and genuine as the families in them.


Editing Style

- Lighting: Light and airy with a soft glow

- Colors: Natural, muted tones - creamy skin, soft pastels, warm greens, and golden backlight

- Contrast: Gentle and even - no harsh shadows or heavy vignettes

- Skin Tones: True-to-life with a slightly creamy finish

- Backgrounds: Softly blurred with clean separation from subjects


Posing & Interaction

- Natural > Perfect: I guide my families into gentle, relaxed poses that allow personality to shine

through.

- Emotion-driven: Expect laughter, cuddles, tickles, movement, and moments that feel honest.

- Kids being kids: Wiggly toddlers? Shy smiles? I welcome it all - that's where the magic happens.


What I Photograph

- Families

- Children

- Seniors

- Lifestyle sessions in natural light

- Occasional couples or maternity


Ideal Settings

- Golden hour (sunset/sunrise)

- Grassy fields, trails, or parks with soft backlight

- Neutral or warm-toned outfits that complement the natural environment

- I aim for a backdrop that enhances the people - never distracts from them


My Why

I believe in preserving the beautiful *in-between* moments - the giggles, glances, and quiet joy of

being together. My photos are meant to feel like *you*, just as you are.


Client Prep Tips

- Dress in soft neutrals or earth tones for that classic, light-filled look
