Lafayette Family Photography Project
Real Families, Real Moments, Real Indiana Magic
🎥 Meet Your Photographer & the Heart Behind the Project
Not a fan of surprises? I get it. In this short video, I’m sharing what this project is all about, why it means so much to me, and how your family can be part of it. I can’t wait to meet you and create something beautiful together!
This project is rooted in love
(and a little curiosity).
When I first moved to Indiana, I’ll admit—it took me a minute to find my footing. But over time, I have started to see what so many locals already knew: this place is something special! From the rolling trails and lakesides to the charming downtown corners and quirky public spaces, Indiana has so much more to offer than just cornfields (though let’s be honest—there’s a lot of corn, too 🌽).
This project is my way of celebrating the beauty I’ve discovered—and helping families see themselves in these magical little pockets of our state. One joyful session at a time.
“She doesn’t just pose you and take a picture, she captures the moments of a family. She captures the little things that a mother hopes to one day remember, hands, feet, tickles, laughter. As I looked through my pictures I felt like I was taken back to that moment in time. We love Natalie and her ability to see beauty, art, and moments!”
— Jessica Braucht

Absolutely! Once we decide we’re a good fit, I’ll send you a questionnaire to get to know your family’s vibe and preferences. From there, I’ll hand-pick three amazing location options tailored just for you — you’ll choose your favorite, and we’ll make some magic there.

This project is all about collaboration! You’ll need to be open to the styling we create together during your design meeting — don’t worry, I make sure it feels comfortable, true to you, and location-friendly. You’ll also be asked to sign a model release so I can share your gorgeous images and sweet film on my website and social media. It’s how this whole project grows and thrives!

This project has a little more structure and intention behind it than a regular session — and a lot more perks for you! Because it’s part of a personal creative series, participants agree to styling support and a model release. In return, you’ll receive a waived session fee, five high-res digitals, and a super fun, meaningful experience — all while helping me show off just how incredible family sessions around Indiana can be.

It’s easy! Just fill out the short form at the bottom of this page. I’ll reach out to schedule a virtual meeting to chat and see if we’re a great match. If all systems are go — we’ll get your family’s one-of-a-kind session on the books!

Honestly? That’s my sweet spot. Whether your little ones are quiet observers or full-on goofballs, I know how to meet them where they are and bring out their sparkle. Making kiddos laugh and feel safe in front of the camera is kind of my superpower — and it’s a big part of why families keep coming back! I’ve Got This!
