“The Fort” is probably our most favorite location to shoot in the Indianapolis area. Full of different locations to use, long grasses, a creek to get in if it’s hot, bridges, docks and endless trees and flowers, it’s a fantastic location to shoot in all year round.
potter’s bridge
Perfect little covered bridge and small park located just north of Noblesville. Great for family sessions.
Flat fork creek park
This new park in Fishers is becoming a favorite of ours as well. Plenty of backdrops to use, a small creek, long grasses, floral, trees and trails offer an abundance of locations to use for your session!

Often paired with Flat Fork Creek Park for 2 hour senior sessions, downtown Fortville offers great old buildings, alley ways, color, old building ads and even an ice cream stop for family sessions.

What’s better than a small town main street? Full of all sorts of alleys and nooks and crannies to get you that perfect look for your session!
state house & west side plaza
The Indiana State House is GORGEOUS inside and out. A perfect solution for rainy days, but equally beautiful on the sunniest of days.
The Indiana War Memorial & Surrounding Plaza Area
This location is often coupled with Monument Circle, especially with a 2 hour session. Some stunning views of the city, fantastic at sunset nearly all year round, and newly renovated. The fountain with the obelisk on the north side is typically on April to October and adds a nice variety to the location.
monument circle
The crown jewel of downtown Indianapolis. Regardless of the time of year, the circle always looks great. Pair this location with the south end of the canal for a perfect downtown session.
canal area - white river state park
There are many areas on the canal that we love using, but by far, the south end, by the NCAA building is a favorite. Plenty of space to move around and different backdrops for you to use. Paired with an hour of your session at monument circle, these locations make for great photos!
bottleworks hotel & the garage
One of our newest additions to our favorite locations list is the bottleworks hotel & area around “the garage” on the north end of mass ave. Perfect for romantic engagement sessions, families or even senior portraits sessions, this area has just about everything!
