Every story is unique. Explore the session offerings to see what fits your story best.

Families

Candid, story-driven family photography capturing real connection, movement, and the beautiful chaos of everyday life. These sessions are designed to feel natural and relaxed, and can take place outdoors in beautiful Indiana locations or in the comfort of your own home, where real life naturally happens.

That might look like backyard play, cozy mornings in the home you’re raising your babies in, or slow afternoons outside in your favorite local spots.

Couples & Engagement

Natural, romantic, and relaxed couples photography that focuses on real connection and authentic emotion. These sessions are less about posing and more about documenting your relationship as it truly feels: playful, intimate, and full of love.

Motherhood

(Maternity | Fresh 48 | In-Home)

Documenting the quiet, powerful, and emotional seasons of motherhood through natural, storytelling photography. From maternity sessions to fresh 48 hospital moments and in-home newborn lifestyle photography, these sessions are centered around connection and real life as it unfolds.

Seniors

Senior sessions that feel personal, confident, and true to who you are right now. These are relaxed, story-driven portraits designed to highlight your personality, interests, and individuality without stiff or overly posed direction.

We’ll choose locations that fit your vibe, from urban backdrops to open fields across Indiana, to create images that feel like you, not a template.

Weddings & Intimate Celebrations

For couples planning something meaningful and intentional, whether it’s a small wedding, elopement, or intimate day with your closest people. I focus on documenting the in-between moments, the emotion, and everything that makes your day feel like yours.

Every story I document begins with connection, let me introduce myself:

A pregnant woman with tattoos on her arm, standing in a forest, leaning against a tree, wearing a blue dress and smiling.
A couple standing in front of a black sports car, embracing each other and looking into each other's eyes, surrounded by palm trees and bright sunlight. Elysian Park.

“My boyfriend and I had never done a shoot together and Laini did amazing at posing us and making us feel comfortable it was a very fun professional experience... She goes above and beyond and I can assure you won’t be disappointed…”
