Q: What should I wear for my portrait session?

A: Great question! I always recommend bringing a variety of wardrobe options, especially for Senior Sessions! Bring outfits that you love, that are comfortable, and that make you feel confident and amazing! Accessories, such as scarves, jewelry, shoes, hats, etc. add layers of texture and dimension to your ensemble. They also allow you to incorporate your personality, which will shine through in your collection of images. There are a few things to keep in mind when planning what to wear for your Session. 1. Season – Dress for the time of year. There are some exceptions to this, of course! For example, boots are great fall and winter accessories. They can also be super cute with a flirty floral dress in the spring! 2. Location – Dress for the environment. Will you be in a garden? In the woods? In an urban setting? Some attire and accessories make more sense than others. Again, rules are made to be broken! And I love when my clients want to express their creativity – and when they allow me to get creative! 3. Patterns – I love layers and textures and colors! However, when planning a wardrobe for a family portrait session, for example, keeping it simple is best! Start with one person’s ensemble and build other’s wardrobe options from there, using color, layers, and hint of prints (like plaid, stripes, florals) to create a cohesive (versus matchy-matchy) look. Keep in mind that large logos and text can be distracting in photos. 4. Style – If you’re being photographed with another person or group of people, it’s best to match each other in terms of style. And by style, I mean level of dress. If one of your wardrobe selections is perfect for a night out on the town, make sure everyone is dressed in a similar fashion. If your location calls for a more casual, relaxed style, plan accordingly to match each other’s level of dress. My goal is to make your Session as stress-free as possible, so I’m more than happy to be of assistance regarding wardrobe and location ideas!

Q: Can you help me with planning my wedding day timeline?

A: I’m more than happy to help with the timeline of the day! Most of my couples wish to have plenty of time for portraits of the two of them, and I love that about my couples! I provide tips on getting the most of out of your wedding experience when we meet to discuss your wedding day. If you will be working with a wedding coordinator, which is highly recommended for many reasons, I’m happy to meet with them to design a plan that perfectly suits your day!

A: It’s easy! We’ll set up a time to meet in person and to discuss your dream wedding day and all that you envision! I’ll bring beautifully bound sample albums, large prints, stunning canvas wraps, and my iPad full of wedding and engagement images for you to see. I love meeting clients in person so that we can get to know each other and cultivate a relationship that lasts well beyond the Big Day.

A limited number of wedding commissions are booked each year so that I can provide the highest level of service to all of my clients. To reserve your wedding date, I do require a signed Contract and 25% Deposit. And then we continue chatting about all of the fun details of your engagement session and upcoming wedding day!

Q: Do you include an engagement session with all wedding collections?

A: I do! I truly believe that the engagement session is vital to a wonderful wedding experience. During your engagement session, we get to hang out together for a couple of hours, allowing us to really get to know each other! Most couples wish to have an engagement session as part of their wedding experience anyway, so I love to include it with all of my wedding collections! On the wedding day, I’ve had so many couples tell me that they feel so confident and excited about being photographed because of the experience they had at their engagement session. Some even say that they practiced what they learned during their session! Love it!

Q: Do you offer Mini Sessions?

A: Yes, I do offer Mini Sessions at various times during the year, most often in Spring and Fall/Winter. Please inquire for more details on location and pricing.

Q: Is Stewart Imagery insured?

A: Yes, of course! Stewart Imagery is fully insured and is more than happy to provide your wedding venue with a Certificate of Insurance.

Q: Can you recommend other wedding vendors who do great work?

A: Of course! I’m happy to share fantastic wedding professionals with whom I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside, especially for planning and day of coordination, florals, cakes and desserts, furniture and accessory rental, transportation, hair, makeup, tux/suit rental, invitations, and more! They are the best at what they do, offering great attention to detail and excellent customer service. I always ask my couples how I can assist them with any details when we meet to discuss their wedding day!

Q: What are your favorite wedding venues?

A: I have so many wedding venues that I have loved working with, and I have a long list that I would love to photograph in the future! There are some key elements that I seek when it comes to wedding venues: amazing architecture, beautiful landscaping, unique features, an abundance of natural light, and natural beauty. I would love to hear about your venue and how you chose it for your special day!

Q: Do you work with an assistant or second photographer?

A: Yes, I do always bring along an assistant/second photographer on wedding days. They are invaluable! They help in carrying and moving equipment and lighting gear, in addition to covering a different angle than what I am covering.

Q: What kind of gear do you use? Do you carry back-up equipment?

A: I’m a Nikon photographer! I use professional grade Nikon camera bodies, lenses, and lighting. I have a variety of lenses (primes are my favorite!) to use throughout the course of the day. I currently use the Nikon D750, and I have two extra camera bodies as back-up. I always search for the best lighting conditions available, however, there are several situations that call for additional lighting. In my bag, I carry lighting equipment, such as off-camera flashes and light stands, as well as a reflector, an abundance of memory cards, and extra batteries for everything. Lots of extra batteries!

Q: Do you travel to photograph weddings and portraits outside of the Indianapolis/Noblesville area?

A: Yes, I love to travel! I have had the opportunity to travel to Santa Monica, California for an engagement session, which was amazing! I’ve also traveled to Columbus, Ohio and to Fort Myers Beach in Southwest Florida for weddings. I would love to capture a wedding in St. Lucia, the vineyards in California, anywhere in Europe, and anywhere tropical for that matter! I’ve traveled throughout Indiana for portrait sessions, and love visiting new locations. Need help choosing a location for your Session? I’m happy to assist you! A few options include the client’s home, a favorite point of interest, or a place you have wanted to explore together. Location Fees and Travel Fees may apply. Please ask for details.
