exclaimed Lauren during our photoshoot, filled with joyful smiles and genuine laughter. In that moment, her mother joined in, beaming with delight as she witnessed her daughter feeling comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

By the time our photoshoot ends, I often hear, “I don’t want our session to end,” and it’s with those sentiments that I am reminded why I am so passionate about my craft and serve as a reminder of the impact I have on their experience. The ability to create a space where individuals can not only feel at ease but truly have a great time is what I strive for. 

I’m Monette, and I’m one of the best senior photographers in Indianapolis. If you're ready to embark on an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, comfort, and stunning photographs, I am here to bring your vision to life and create memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.
