Authentic images honoring your
Nothing fake, just
I promise you that someone got mud on their face or a pimple the day before, bit their sisters' toe, or tripped and got a goose egg on their forehead two hours earlier. You can't tell in these photos because something is happening that's more important than having your shit together; being together. As a self-proclaimed, certified hot-mess, I know that stressful feeling you get before a session. You dread the session and feel uncomfortable with the stiff poses because you don't know what to do with your hands, and you hope you can bribe your kids to smile. Instead of feeling connected to the people you adore (most of the time), you feel anxious. You're pulling your outfits together at the last minute, leaving the session sweating through your shirt and hoping that you got one good photo.
Whew. That's a lot. But, it doesn't have to be that way. Photos don't have to be a chore, and you don't have to simply survive your session feeling awkward and exhausted.
I promise you these sessions weren't perfect.
YOUR LIFE IS SO
DAMN BEAUTIFUL
I'm a big fan of memory-making, and your session should feel like you are making one of the best ones. Instead of an uncomfortable and stressful hour of your life during my sessions, we hang out. We talk about what's been good and hard and watch the people most important to you put their arms around each other while they hunt for rocks. My sessions are permission for you to be present in your life, get a little messy, and remember what's important to you and why you love these people so much.
Remember that episode of The Office when Jim and Pam are getting married? Duh. Who doesn't? Pam tells Jim her aunt's advice was to take mental snapshots of the whole day. That's it. I live for the moment you wish you could take mental photographs of. Awkward photo session? I don't know her. My specialty is making you feel like you're on a fun, albeit weird outing; I just happen to have a camera with me.
Whew. That's a lot. But, it doesn't have to be that way. Photos don't have to be a chore, and you don't have to simply survive your session feeling awkward and exhausted.

"I will be able to look back at these and remember the sound of their laughter and how funny they were at that age. Little quirks they did, the silly faces they made at that age, they’re just priceless. Aside from her talent, she is great and so patient with kids of all ages. She created a fun, laid back, relaxing experience for everyone."

I'm Cait, an Indianapolis portrait photographer, specializing in documenting your family journey from maternity on, and making you feel super rad. I have inadvertently created a circus by having 4 kids, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and moving eleventy billion times. I am thoroughly convinced that word-vomit is an actual disease I contracted at the age of 2, nature is my muse and I will NEVER turn down a margarita or hot pink lipstick. Backstreet Boys > N'Sync and I will always get down to new Indie music but, don't be fooled, I have a serious weakness for pop. What can I say - I am a child of the 90's. Glitter is definitely a color, my prom dress was hot pink and I have no regrets. Like most 90's kids I firmly believe childhood is the most magical time of your life.
