"We could not be happier with the experience we had with Shannon. Our maternity photos are beautiful, she really captured everything better than I could have ever imagined. We highly recommend reaching out to her for all of your photography needs!"
Hannah C. ~ mom-to-be in Carmel, In -
"Shannon is the BEST! We have used her for newborn and 1 year photos. When it was time to fresh our family portraits, I knew exactly who to call. Even when her normal location fell through, she was able to find a location that worked and gave us some amazing shots in a mini session. She had a quick turn around time with the proofs and gave us the final images even quicker than promised. I've gotten SO many compliments on them and can't wait for our next session."

Carmel, Indiana: Upscale Charm and Family Friendly
Carmel is known for its walkable trails, upscale restaurants and relaxed, family-friendly vibe. It’s the perfect place to go on long walks with your family, enjoy nature or grab something to eat from the many specialty restaurants. Its nightlife with many concerts and shows is also a must.
The parks in Carmel are actually some of my very favorite places to shoot. This area is known for its vast variety of parks-not just the playground type, but the kind where nature shines with its ultimate beauty. I use these backdrops to help get that perfect sunset glow mixed with the flowing fields of wheat grass or the sun sparkling on the ponds.
I can’t talk about Carmel if I didn’t mention my favorite place to meet my family after an evening of sessions. I love a really good juicy burger and Bruburger in Carmel has some of the best around.
Carmel is a mix of longtime locals, young families and a bit of hustle & bustle in the city but a relaxing vibe in the hundreds of acres of parks here. Whether you want an all-out active day (playgrounds, water parks, trails) or a quiet nature stroll, there’s a park for that. If you are looking for the perfect spot in nature for your photoshoot, I would love to be that photographer for you.
Carmel is about 30 minutes from my studio but ALWAYS worth the drive.
