Strictly Weddings
A portrait session built around who you are right now. Styled, lit and guided, so you may walk in nervous and walk out wanting to see everything.
If you're the one who always says “just send me the ones of the kids,” this is for you.
Only a few sessions open each month, so every woman gets my full attention.
For the woman who is ready to be in the photos. One private, fully guided session, styled and lit like a magazine feature, and a reveal where you choose your favorites. Your story, as it is right now.

Different occasions, same experience: guided, private and built around you.
I'm a portrait photographer in Fishers, Indiana, and I photograph women who have spent years making sure everyone else is in the picture. I believe a portrait should feel like you on your best day, not a stranger's idea of you.
I'm not a model either, so I know how awkward it can feel. That's why I guide every detail, from what to wear to where your chin goes, and keep your photos private unless you say otherwise. My work has been featured in Wedding Day Magazine, Strictly Weddings, Condé Nast Weddings UK and South Asian Bride.
Let's TalkA few of the women, photographed just as they are right now.
The three questions every woman asks before she books, answered up front.
Nobody walks in knowing what to do with their hands. That's my job. I guide every pose, and most women relax within ten minutes.
Your photos are private by default. Nothing is shared, anywhere, without your written permission. Ever.
On your free planning call, I walk you through every option and price, so there are no surprises at the reveal. Payment plans are available.
