At Rogue Image Photo, we’ve had the privilege of documenting hundreds of growing families in Fishers, Carmel, Geist, and the greater Indianapolis area. As a Fishers maternity and newborn photographer, I’ve seen firsthand how much easier—and more meaningful—it is when families trust one photographer to document both chapters of this beautiful story.
If you’re expecting, or even just starting to plan, here’s why hiring one professional for both maternity and newborn sessions isn’t just convenient—it’s the expert move.

Why Your Maternity Photos Matter More Than You Think
Maternity photography isn’t just about showing off your bump. It’s about documenting the emotional beauty of transformation—the anticipation, the love, and the stillness before everything changes. These photos become some of the most cherished for families, especially during future milestones.
Expert Insight: When to Schedule Your Maternity Session
The best window for maternity photos is between 28 and 34 weeks. By this stage, your belly is prominent, you’re still comfortable enough to move around, and there’s usually plenty of flexibility to reschedule if needed due to weather or energy levels.
Fishers Maternity and Newborn Photographer Location Favorites
As an expert Fishers maternity and newborn photographer, I’ve scouted the best spots that combine great light, scenic backdrops, and easy accessibility. Here are our go-to outdoor locations:
Flat Fork Creek Park (Fishers) – open trails, fields, and wood boardwalks
West Park (Carmel) – wildflowers, nature trails, and paved walkways
Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve (Fishers) – tall trees, filtered light, and forest serenity

Why Using the Same Photographer for Both Sessions Matters
Your newborn session will likely happen when you’re still healing, adjusting, and overwhelmed. Hiring someone who already knows you (and your style) is a gift you give yourself.
