From the moment you reach out, my goal is to make this process easy, relaxed, and fun. For you and your little ones. I specialize in lifestyle photography that’s full of real connection, playful energy, and authentic moments. No stiff poses or forced smiles here. Just your family, being yourselves.
For families who want their story to be passed on to coming generations
Hi, I'm chaeney, your family PHOTOGRAPHER in indiana
That last forever
love and laughter
With 5+ years working with children on the autism spectrum and a decade of photographing families, I’ve learned how to connect with all kinds of personalities. I bring patience, flexibility, and a sense of humor to every session — because the best photos happen when everyone feels at ease.
I know how to handle energic kids and grumpy husbands
EXPERIENCE
I don’t take that lightly. I’m passionate about capturing the little details you’ll want to remember. The scrunched-up noses, the wild curls, the way your toddler reaches for your hand. These aren’t just photos; they’re the pieces of your story you’ll treasure more and more as time passes.
As a mom myself, I know that the value of your pictures WILL INCREASE for each day
passion
You’ll get a style guide to take the guesswork out of what to wear, and I’m always here to help with the “does this look okay?” texts. From start to finish, I’ve got your back — no stress needed.
From outfit planning to the final artwork, i'm WITH you

Client LOVE
She captured both our family maternity shoot and newborn session, and I couldn’t have asked for a more kind, patient, and flexible photographer. Our toddler was having a rough day (both times!), and I was so worried we wouldn’t get any good photos. But Chaeney was calm and reassuring, promising we’d have plenty to choose from—and she was right! When I saw the albums, I was blown away by the beautiful, candid moments she managed to capture. These photos are something I’ll treasure forever. We feel so lucky to have found her and can’t wait to work with her again.

She has done my family’s photos multiple times as she is our go to photographer! She is amazing with kids, especially little ones that have a short attention span and do not particularly enjoy photos. She always makes us feel so comfortable and makes the process very easy. I also love that she offers a lot of mini sessions throughout the year/seasons that allow you to get different types of photos done. She has an amazing talent and my family always recommends her to anyone looking for a photographer. Book with Chaeney, you won’t regret it!
