Indianapolis Senior Photographer | Featured senior

Meet Payton, A Greenfield Central High School Class of 2017 Senior.  I've known Payton since she was about 8. She used to spend days at a time at my house with my daughter. She was like her sister for several years. They grew apart at some point, and I hadn't seen her in awhile, so I was so excited when Payton asked me to do her senior photos! She has turned into a beautiful young woman :) Had a great time at her session! Isn't she gorgeous?

Class of 2018, I am now booking for your senior year! Give me a call 317-319-6045, or shoot me an email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will get you set up!  I am also looking for my class of 2018 senior model team, which will be decided upon in February, so if that interests you, definitely get ahold of me!

 
 

Indiana Senior Photographer | Featured senior of the week -

Whew, now that I am slowing down a bit, I can start sharing some of these amazing senior sessions we have had this year! Kaylee, from Greenfield Central High School, came back in Sept for her session. She had her hair and makeup done by my amazing makeup artist, Amy and then we headed to Falls Park for her session, as it was a place she spent a lot of time with her grandma. Great way to keep and make new memories. Grandma came along as well! We had a great time, and I definitely had to make her get wet! It's the best location for playing in the water :)

 

Eastern Hancock High School Senior Pictures | Megan

Megan is a cheer leader at Eastern Hancock High School. She was looking for a session with a little bit of Urban (for her) and a little bit of Nature (for Mom) . We nailed that combination at this shoot! We started off the day with Hair and Makeup with my HMUA Amy. Then we went on our way! Megan was sweet and fun to work with and I couldn't wait to show her her images! This girl is flawless :)

Indianapolis Senior Photographer |Class of 2017 Senior Models

Class of 2017! It is YOUR time! I am so excited about this! I am not sure if it's because my own daughter is a senior, or if it's because of all of the ideas I have. I'm ready to blow all of your friends away with your pics! When we are done with your session, your story is going to be told, and all of your friends are going to be so jealous of your photos! (you know, unless you tell them to come see me too!)

Indianapolis Senior Photographer | Congratulations Class of 2016!

What a year! I had quite the group of seniors this past year.  Academic scholarships, athletic scholarships and just an all out great group of genuinely nice girls! I couldn't be prouder of them for all they accomplished throughout their senior year. It's not easy to say goodbye to this group! But not forever! I expect you all to come back to me when it's time for babies! (I know your parents are saying SLOW DOWN! Not yet! lol!) But you know ... when that time comes, I'm here!

Congratulations on graduating and God Bless you all! I wish you all much success in your future. I can't wait to see what and where it brings you! Keep in touch! I would love to hear from each and every one of you, and if you need anything that I can help with, be sure to ask:)    xoxo  ~Shawna

Meet Marlee from Hamilton South Eastern High School! Marlee's session was late this summer. We had a great time in downtown Pendleton and at Falls Park.
