The Senior Portrait Collections for Indianapolis Area High School Seniors

Senior portraits with heart and personality, photographed in Carmel, Noblesville, Westfield, Sheridan, Zionsville, and greater Indianapolis.

Choosing a senior session shouldn’t feel overwhelming or cookie-cutter. Too many galleries look the same—rushed shoots, awkward smiles, or photos that don’t reflect the actual vibe of senior year. These senior portrait collections are designed for high school senior photography in Indianapolis and the surrounding suburbs, with options that allow sessions to feel relaxed, personal, and true to who you are.

Each collection includes a full online proofing gallery, the best images hand-edited in my clean, vibrant style, and the option to upgrade if you fall in love with more. Because when it comes to your senior year, no moment is too small to remember, and no gallery should feel skimpy.

Love them all? You'll have the option to upgrade your gallery to include every image. And when you book any three sessions within a year- from senior to minis to family- you'll automatically receive a full gallery upgrade for all three sessions.

And if you’re dreaming of something beyond the standard packages- like a mix of sports portraits, adding in family, seasonal sessions, or a creative editorial twist- let’s talk about building something custom that celebrates your story start to finish.

The Wholehearted Collection

$500 || 60 Minutes || 30 Images

This high school senior photography session in Indianapolis is perfect for capturing personality, confidence, and connection without feeling rushed or over-posed. Short sessions can feel rushed, leaving seniors stiff and parents wishing for just a little more variety. The Wholehearted Collection gives you the sweet spot—an hour of relaxed time, two outfits, and space to actually breathe into the experience. It’s perfect if you want a session that feels easy, natural, and still delivers plenty of photos worth framing.

The Legacy Collection

$700 || 2 Hours || 2 locations || 50 Photos

One backdrop gets old fast—and that’s where so many senior photos fall flat. The Legacy gives you time to explore, whether that’s changing locations or making the most of a larger spot like MacGregor Park or downtown Carmel. This extended senior portrait session is ideal for Indianapolis seniors who want more time to explore locations, outfit changes, or multiple sides of who they are. With room for multiple outfits and genuine variety, it’s no surprise this is my most popular senior collection.

It’s My Year Collection

$1100 || 3 Sessions || All Images

Senior year isn’t just one moment—it’s a whole season of change. Too many families regret only having one fall shoot or a single cap & gown photo, but this collection tells the full story. Designed as a senior photography experience, this collection documents more than just photos — it captures the full story of senior year. With two Wholehearted sessions across different seasons plus a quick Keepsake for cap & gown, you’ll have a complete record of everything this year held.

Sometimes you just need something short and sweet. This short senior photo session is best for simple portraits and works well as an add-on or minimalist option for Indianapolis high school seniors. The Keepsake is perfect for graduation announcements, cap & gown photos, or as a simple add-on when you want “just one more” milestone captured. Fast, easy, and still full of personality… and it proves that a mini doesn’t have to feel skimpy.

    Lauren is the best photographer! Her easy going personality, along with her great ideas makes every sessions fun. She has done numerous session with me and is always fantastic. She is able to snap picture of moments that will forever be cherished. I always receive photos back in a reasonable manner that are flawless. I can not recommend her enough!

    We could not be happier with our daughter’s senior photo experience! Our daughter is very self conscious having her photo taken and Lauren did such an amazing job helping her feel comfortable. Our senior ended up really enjoying her senior photo experience with Lauren and couldn’t say enough good things afterwards. The photos turned out so beautiful and best of all were a true reflection of our daughter and her personality. Thank you Lauren for making this such a fantastic memory for our teen!

    I took my daughter to get a senior session done with Lauren. Lexi wanted to do an indoor session instead of outdoors and I was skeptical at first wondering how we were going to get enough of a variety of different poses. Lauren was amazing! We loved them all and there were so many different poses! She was so fun and positive with Lex! Such a great experience all together. I will be using her again for sure!!!

    Lauren is an amazing photographer. We’ve used her several times. She helped us all feel comfortable during family photos and our son’s senior photo sessions. She responds quickly to inquiries and sessions. We will use her again for all our family photos.

  • Loved working with her on my son's senior pictures. My son commented that he liked her flexibility with shots and didn't have him do a bunch of stiff poses.

What Most Senior Photography Misses

(and How I Fix It)

Senior Photos Without Personality

Scroll through enough senior photos online and you’ll notice… they all start to blend together. Same fake smile, same pose, same random field. But your senior year is not one-size-fits-all, and your photos shouldn’t be either. I’ll draw out the quirks, laughter, and vibe that make you, you. Now your gallery feels alive and personal instead of cookie-cutter.

Awkward, Stiff Senior Posing

Here’s the truth: most seniors don’t dream about being in front of a camera. Awkward posing leaves you stiff, and “say cheese” photos never look like you. I keep it relaxed with movement and prompts, so you feel comfortable, have fun, and actually like being photographed.

Galleries Without Variety.

When every image feels like a copy of the last, it gets boring fast. One pose, one backdrop, one expression—it doesn’t tell the whole story. I mix outfits, angles, and energy so your gallery feels full of life, not flat. As a senior photographer in northern Indianapolis, I focus on creating a senior portrait gallery that feel true to each student — not staged or forced.

Senior Pictures that don’t last

Trendy filters might look cool right now, but fast forward a few years and they’ll scream “Class of 2025.” That’s the #1 regret- photos that don’t hold up. My edits are clean, vibrant, and timeless, so your portraits look just as fresh at graduation as they will at your 10-year reunion.
