Newborn Photography in Fishers, Indiana - Lamaster

“As soon as I saw you, I knew a grand adventure was about to happen.”

I photographed Quincy and Derrick two years ago when they got married and was so happy when I got the email that they were expanding their family. Weddings are fun and all, but there is just something great about the chaos that comes with brand new parents.

We did their newborn photos in Fishers, Indiana at their parents house so it was extra special to be able to include grandparents in their session. I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking into newborn photographers in Fishers to chat with their newborn photographer to see if it would be an option to include grandparents. I feel like a lot of us lifestyle newborn photographers would totally be up for including family!

Being new parents is stressful. I approach newborn photography sessions in a very laid back way. There are no hard time limits and I always go by how the baby is feeling. Sometimes they get cranky and need to take a break. Just like adults! And that is totally okay! We never rush.

Feedings, diaper changes and a few tears are all a part of parenthood and I photograph if all. My newborn photography sessions are not just about getting a couple photos of your new family but also capturing a true snapshot of your life. It may seem like it’s all you will ever know right now, but soon enough your little bundle will be a walking, then they’ll be riding bikes in the driveway and then they will be heading off to their first day of school and you’ll look back and say “Gosh, were they ever really that small?” and “haha, remember that funny face they’d make?” “Remember how tired we were, but how we pushed through?” “Look at how all of our hard work has paid off…”

The Allure at the Lake Wedding in Chesterton, IN

“The greatest love stories involve your friends and family.”

I met Mallory in Merrillville, IN after her shift at the hospital and I knew right away that her wedding was going to be so much fun! Laid back, down to earth brides are my jam and Mallory was that in spades. She smiled easily and told me great stories about her family so that when the day came around a few months later I felt like I knew so many people without even having to have met them before.

I cannot thank Mallory and Jay enough for letting me follow them around on their wedding at The Allure on the Lake in Chesterton, IN. I am so lucky to be able to work with people who truly get my vision of candid photography and the glorious moments you just can’t get when working from a giant shot list.

Your Built in Wedding Planning Consultant

Weddings can get complicated. Even the most simple ceremonies involve fifty decisions you have to make and those decisions can get scary when you have never planned such an event before.

That is where I come in! Luckily for you (and me), I have photographed over 200 weddings over the last ten years and call tell you what works well and what can get frusterating; what you actually need vs. what the wedding industry tells you that you need.

Well no worries, friend! I've been photographing weddings for the last ten years and having an absolute blast getting to be a part of my clients' day. Being a volume photographer (shooting a wedding every weekend) and shooting alone allows me to set my full day coverage prices at $1600.

But....how....?

I get asked this a lot. (Even by other photographers).

1) I photograph 35 weddings a year.

2) I photograph families and other sessions during the week.

3) I have a 8-10 week turn around time

4) You won't find any fancy packaging or fluff when working with me. Custom wooden USBs with my logo on them...I don't think so. All that stuff costs money. Money that I'd have to pass on to you...and I ain't about that.

Everyone should be able to have memories of one of the most important days of their lives. I have a package for just about everyone and am very flexible with payment plans. No one should have to worry about a friend not showing up or a student who might get overwhelmed when something goes haywire.
