INDIANA FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I'm Chaeney!


a full-time photographer, wife and mom of two wonderful girlies.


Besides photography, I LOVE:

- thrifting, especially clothes for the girls that they don't need.

- coffee. this may sound basic but I am not myself before that daily coffee.

- being outdoors! especially now that I have kids, going outside is so much more fun.


I started doing photography as a teenager, mostly capturing friends and family members. I found a passion for doing this and over the years have just continued to grow. Connecting with new clients and families every year is so much fun, but I also love my regular clients as I get to see their babies grow session after session!


I jumped into doing photography full time in 2022 - before I went full time, I was an ABA Therapist working with young children on the autism spectrum for 4 years. Working with kids is something I genuinely enjoy so much and I feel this shows in my work.


I'd love to get the chance to document your family!

Let's chat soon :)

Kind Words
.01

We were recommended to try Chaeney almost immediately after our extended family finished their shoot with her. I adore her editing, style and eye for photography! She made sunny photos out of what was nearly a completely cloudy evening. And it doesn't hurt that she is charming and easy to talk to!

Wow! Chaeney was so wonderful to work with for our family photos. Everything about our experience was amazing, most importantly our photos that I absolutely adore! We did two sessions with her & plan to work with her more in the future. Very professional & kind. 10/10

Chaeney was so patient with my wild toddler boys! She came to our home & got pictures of them in their element. She was patient, she was kind & she didn’t make me feel bad or nervous that my kids weren’t “sitting to take a photo” she was capturing the real life moments. She got on their level & did her best to make them smile & laugh without over doing it & having them fight us more. I really didn’t think they gave her much to work with & she came back with these AMAZING photographs of my boys!

Why hire a family photographer?

EVERYONE TAKES PHOTOS WITH THEIR PHONE. HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL.

Why pay for a professional photographer when you can take as many photos and record as many videos as you want, with your phone, right? Not quite. While phone snaps are wonderful memoirs to mundane happy moments, they don’t include one important element - YOU. You are not in the picture, having fun with your lovely family. A professional photographer can capture your family’s legacy as a whole. It’s photos that you’ll want to print and hang all around your house.
