⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Golden Image Photography made my son’s 16th birthday unforgettable. J was professional, creative, and patient—helping him relax and bringing out his natural confidence in front of the camera. Every shot captured his personality and this milestone perfectly. Fast turnaround, beautiful edits, and a great experience start to finish. I would highly recommend! Thank you for turning a milestone into memories we’ll keep forever!

Great experience! This was my first time and Jay was very helpful and insightful! I will definitely recommend them to anyone and will be using them in the future!

Excellent experience!!!! If you aren't a picture taker like me you'll be one by the time you leave!!! They are so patient and fun to work with. The photographer Jay is professional and easy going. The studio is equipped with everything you need. If you're in the mood come on by and leave feeling like a rockstar.

Made my baby shine, very welcoming. Professional great pictures! Can really show the light in you!

Jay has great energy and really makes you feel at ease during your shoot. Book him!

I needed new headshots for my LinkedIn and website, and it was honestly such a great experience. I'm usually super awkward in front of the camera, but they made me feel so comfortable right from the start.

Amazing guy and amazing experience. I went here for my sweet 16 photo shoot and the photos I received were impeccable, 10/10 recommend. hire him!!!!

We had the absolute best experience with Raegan photographing our November wedding. From our very first consultation, she was incredibly thoughtful, organized, and transparent about the entire process. She took the time to understand our vision and made us feel completely at ease throughout planning. Her communication leading up to the wedding was outstanding- she helped us think through timelines, family photos, and all the little details that made the day run smoothly. On the wedding day itself, she was calm, professional, and such a joy to be around. She captured everything beautifully while still letting us be fully present with our family and friends. The final photos were stunning and delivered right when she said they would be. Raegan truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and we’re so grateful she documented such an important day for us. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Can’t say enough good things about Clay House in general and our photographer, Jen Krampitz. I was blown away by the care, detail, and intentionality each individual we interacted with through Clay House put into their work and how they communicate with their clients throughout the wedding planning process. Raegan and Sara were super helpful with getting the process started and gathering information on what we were hoping our wedding day as a whole would look like. Raegan used that info to pair us up with Jen as our photographer who could not have been a more perfect match for us. Jen is a complete natural at what she does!! My husband and I are not people that typically love being in front of a camera and Jen made us feel so comfortable and so ourselves during our engagement session and wedding day. The sneak-peek pictures we got are stunning and we can’t wait to see the whole gallery. 10/10 would recommend Jen and Clay House to anyone ☺️

The best photographers /company ever! Our photographer Holyn was WONDERFUL. She was truly more than a photographer and kept us grounded the whole day. She is 100% into the wedding, easy to reach, & a wonderful person. Thank you SO MUCH! We love our pictures -Kayla & Zach Stewart.

I couldn’t recommend Clay House enough. Raegan and her team shot our wedding but they did so much more. From the moment she got there she immediately eased any stress that I had. She kept everything flowing and made sure I was taken care of. They both made it not even seem like we were being photographed and the results were priceless pictures exhibiting true raw emotions of an amazing day. Not only was our wedding day so fantastic with Raegan, the entire process leading up to it was so easy and fun. She made my engagement shoot dreams come to life even when the weather wasn’t perfect. Working with her was such a great experience. We have so many beautiful pictures that capture who we are and our wedding day and we can’t thank her enough.

Had the absolute BEST experience at our shoot with Clay House Photo! Raegan was so wonderful and made us forget we were even taking photos! Just felt like we were having a fun afternoon as a family, laughing and playing and enjoying each other. 🙂 I wasn’t sure how shooting with a 15 month old would be, but she made the whole experience seamless! The actual photos are so stunning and authentic, capturing our real joy and love for each other. So thankful to have these photos as precious memories of this sweet time in our lives!

If you’re looking for the best photographer your search should stop now!! Words can't fully capture how incredible our experience was with Clay House and Raegan! From start to finish, she made everything so easy and enjoyable. Raegan’s approach was not only professional but also warm and personal, which made my husband and I feel completely at ease throughout our entire wedding day. The photographs are absolutely stunning—every moment was captured beautifully, and we were blown away by the artistry and attention to detail. Raegan didn’t just take pictures; she told the story of our day in the most magical way possible. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to preserve these special memories. Highly, highly recommend!

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Raegan photograph our wedding in July. Neither of us are big on getting our picture taken but she made it feel so natural and comfortable for both of us. Since that day I’ve recommended Clay House to everyone I know! We love our pictures and plan on having more done with them in the future!

Would absolutely recommend working with Shaindel at Raw Sugar Photography! We used her for our daughter's newborn pictures and the whole experience was wonderful! Easy to book, easy and relaxing photo shoot, and excellent final photos! Shaindel made us feel welcome and at ease during the shoot, allowing us to have a snack and take a much needed break while she took care of our baby.

We used Shaindel for maternity photos. She made us feel at ease during our session and listened to our ideas. She is so creative and has an incredible eye. We can’t wait to have her photograph our newborn!

Absolutely LOVE Raw Sugar! We have used Shaindel for our son's first year of life pictures. Each session turned out PERFECT! We absolutely love each and every photo!!!! Shaindel is so easy to work with, is a very safe and professional newborn photographer, and knows how to capture the most precious moments. We are very happy that we chose to do a milestone package as we now are able to look back and enjoy pictures of our little guy time and again. I would recommend Raw Sugar Photography to everyone and anyone looking for a family photographer.

We did a newborn photo session at the studio. Shaindel, the photographer was great with our baby! The whole thing went smoothly with just a short time of breastfeeding break. My 4 y/o also enjoyed his experience having a photo shoot with his baby sister. I’d recommend this place for others if you’re looking for a newborn photo session!

I went to Shaindel for my sons newborn photography shoot. Being a first time mom I was a little nervous about just handing my baby over, but Shaindel totally put me at ease. I could tell that she absolutely adores babies and had the most nurturing and gentle touch with my little guy. It would take a ton of patience to do what she does and she was amazing at it. Her studio was in a very neat, artsy building close to downtown and was very cozy inside. I would highly recommend Shaindel for any of your family or personal photography needs. I look forward to booking future milestone and family sessions.

We used Raw Sugar Photography for our first child's newborn photos. Shaindel was extremely professional and absolutely amazing with our newborn. She exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend her to everyone! We will definitely be using her again in the future for our daughters milestone pictures and family photos. So happy to have found her!

My family and I have worked with Shaindel for the past couple of years for our maternity, newborn, baby milestone and family photos and she nails it every time. She makes the experience fun and engaging and the photos come out very beautiful. I highly recommend booking her for capturing those important memories.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sonja and 317 Headshots to anyone looking for exceptional photography and outstanding service. She photographed my ERAS residency headshot and did an incredible job capturing a look that was both beautiful and warm for my deep golden skin tone. She truly listened to what I wanted and made sure the final photo reflected me as a person and as a professional. I felt seen, heard, and respected throughout the entire process. More recently, she went above and beyond to help me with my medical school Class of 2026 composite photo at the last minute. When I realized my original photo might not meet the strict requirements, Sonja responded immediately, located my uncropped image, and sent me a perfect high-resolution file within hours. She truly saved the day. Her work is not only high-quality and professional, but her kindness, responsiveness, and dedication to her clients are unmatched. She made a very stressful situation completely manageable. If you are a medical student, resident, or professional who needs headshots, look no further. Sonja delivers exceptional results every time. I am beyond grateful and will recommend her to everyone. Thank you, Sonja, for everything you do!

I had an amazing experience with 317 Headshots from start to finish! The entire process was professional, smooth, and actually fun — which says a lot because getting headshots can feel a little intimidating. They made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and gave great direction on posing, expressions, and even wardrobe choices. The quality of the photos is outstanding — crisp, polished, and perfectly captures both personality and professionalism. Turnaround time was quick, and the final images exceeded my expectations. I’ve already received so many compliments and feel much more confident using these photos for my business and social media. If you’re looking for headshots that truly stand out and a photographer who knows how to bring out your best, I 100% recommend 317 Headshots. Worth every minute!

My experience with Sonja Clark of 317 Headshots was truly a pleasure from start to finish. Her photographic skills immediately put you at ease, allowing the entire process to feel relaxed and enjoyable. Sonja is professional, polite, and genuinely dedicated to her craft. Her attention to detail and ability to capture your best self make the experience both seamless and rewarding. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for high-quality, professional headshots.

Not being particularly photogenic, I have some anxieties about a camera being fixed directly on me. It was relief to find Sonja so thoughtful with each step of the process – from the simplicity of her website, the call the day before, and her calm, instructive approach during the session – she allowed me to simply be me during the session. The result was a set of photos that I am more than happy with and genuinely proud to use on my website and social media.

Sonja Clark is an amazing photographer! She always makes me feel comfortable and confident in our photo sessions. I am a professional dancer and she has given me wonderful headshots for my work. Go get your photos done now!

My wife and I went to 317 Headshots, and we had such a great experience! Sonja Clark was super friendly, professional, and made us both feel totally comfortable. She took her time to get the perfect shots, and the photos turned out amazing. We’re both really happy with how everything came out — highly recommend her!

I had a fantastic experience at 317 Headshots! Sonja Clark did an amazing job with my headshot — she was incredibly professional, punctual, and made the whole process easy and comfortable. The final photo turned out great! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality, professional headshots.

We have been using Lane as our family photographer for a couple of years now, and I truly can’t imagine working with anyone else! Her communication is always great, her pricing is great, and she is amazing with kids — even on days when they aren’t showing their best behavior. Somehow she still manages to capture the most beautiful, genuine moments. She is so patient, kind, and sweet, which makes the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable! We always walk away with photos we absolutely love. Highly recommend her to any family! 🤍

Lane did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos! Working with her from the engagement session, pre-wedding meeting, and day of was seamless. She captured so many fun and special moments of our wedding! During posed photos she was clear and direct but also had fun with the wedding party. Her presence at the wedding and the reception was very natural too! Her turnaround time was also very qucik! We definitely plan on using Lane in future with any family photos and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Lane is an amazing photographer! She has captured our engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, and newborn photos, and every experience has been great. She is very laid back and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture life’s biggest moments.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Lane. It was extremely easy to book our photos, Lane asked exactly what I was looking for and then exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond for my son’s first birthday photos. He cried the majority of the appointment and somehow she got the most amazing photos ever. I couldn’t be happier and I will definitely come to Lane for future pictures. I thought the baby and the cake and Lane took care of the rest. She made it so seamless

Our family mini with Lane was the absolute BEST experience! Just the preview images alone were enough to make me feel like we got more than our money's worth. The fact that she captured our kiddos' personalities so perfectly in 15 minutes is incredible. Book with her immediately!!!

Lane was absolutely fantastic for our family mini photoshoot at her studio this month. She kept our two year old son happy and engaged the whole time (which is not easy) and produced amazing family photos that we will cherish forever. Very timely in getting the gallery back as well. We are so thankful to have found Lane for our family photos and will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her for any and all of your photography needs!

We hadn’t had family photos done in a very long time, so I booked a session with Laney—and I’m so glad I did. She captured some of the best pictures we’ve had in years. She was incredibly easy to work with, took her time, and still managed to keep everything moving smoothly. Even with a nine-month-old baby and nine other adults, she got everyone photographed in a timely and stress-free way. I would 100% recommend her.

Chris was an awesome photographer! He was so laid back and just went with the flow of our kinda crazy ideas! We love the photos and would recommend him to anyone!

Chris was hired to photograph a family birthday party. We had 31 people ranging in age from 1 yr to 100 years! From the very first communication, Chris was responsive and very easy to work with while planning the event. At the event, he quickly began organizing the various photos and was adept at capturing everyone's attention during the photo shoots. We all enjoyed Chris and had a good time! And the results were amazing! We had so many good options to choose from. He will be our first choice for photographer from now on.

Chris was so patient with my family especially all the little ones during our family photo shoot at the zoo! The photos turned out beautiful! My family really liked him and we had a good time. Our family photos mean so much to us all! I would definitely recommend CK photography to anyone and if l need a photographer again l will definitely call CK Photography!

I would highly recommend CK Photography for Senior pictures! 📸 He drove to the location we wanted. She had her dog, props and changed her cloths multiple times. He climbed rocks and water to get the shots she wanted. He took his time and got shots we didn't even expect. We will definitely be using Ck Photography again for family pictures. Thank you CK Photography! (Chris)

I worked with Chris to host a headshots and happy hour event for my residents at the property I manage. Chris was great to work with and everyone loved their updated, professional headshot! If we do this again in the future, we will definitely be hiring CK Photography. Thank you!

Chris came to our office to do the head shots of our staff. We loved working with him; he was very laid back and had a good sense of humor. The turn around time for getting the photos to us was also very quick and he was willing to edit and touch up the photos that we requested. The pictures turned out great. We would definitely recommend him!

CK photography was great in all aspects – from initial conversations and prompt friendly communications, to the day of our photo shoot. Chris was on time, engaging, and made the whole shoot fun. Very quick turn around, we had our final edited photos in just a few days. We are very pleased with the quality of photos and the selection from which we had to choose from! Highly recommend! Thank you so much!

We absolutely adore Stacy and her work is impeccable. There are few instances in which photographers command the room in a quiet but confident way when wedding photos can be hectic, but Stacy and her incredible team nailed it. They seamlessly prepared our large family to take many photos in a short period of time and capture the magic and feeling that transports us back to our wedding day. I couldn’t recommend her more. She’s got a customer and friend for life!

The best photographer in Indianapolis!! I can’t recommend her enough! I reached out in November, needing a photographer to capture our engagement in December, she had availability and was able to capture the moment. She absolutely blew us away! The pictures were amazing! She captured every moment of us and our family! We couldn’t be more pleased! 10/10 recommend! She was attentive, knew exactly how to discreetly capture the moment, knew the area well, and was available to bounce ideas off of throughout the planning process!

Stacy photographed our wedding and we loved working with her. She is so talented and all the photos she took turned out so beautifully. She also helped organize everyone and made sure we stayed on timeline, while taking beautiful photos, which was so impressive! We couldn't recommend her more.

Could not have asked for a better photographer. Stacy was professional, kind, and got the job done phenomenally! Her energy was so calming on our wedding day. We wholeheartedly recommend!

Stacy has a unique ability to capture all the best moments and angles! Her photography skills are evident within the work she produces. If you are looking to create a timeless, high class vibe…choose Stacy!

I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer than Stacy Able! She is incredibly talented and the photos were stunning and beyond what I could have even imagined. Beyond that, she is so kind and easy to work with and made everyone at the wedding – including our families – feel relaxed and comfortable. She is super responsive to emails/texts/calls and had the photos edited and ready just days after the wedding! I can't wait to use Stacy again.

I absolutely love the photos that Stacy took for us. She photographed our new puppy and did an outstanding job. Puppies wiggle and they don't exactly follow directions. Stacy was patient, professional, so very sweet, and we had our finished images back in a matter of days. I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to capture special moments. She's so good with a wild puppy, just imagine what she could do with a cooperative human.

Jovan made my dreams happen for my wedding. She understood exactly the vibe I wanted for the environment and for the pictures and took pride in curating that. She felt like more than photographer on my wedding day with the great attention to detail and dedication to protecting my peace, She felt like a friend. She picked up very well on social situations that shifted and pivoted when others weren't being as flexible. She was very swift on the turn around for the preview gallery and communicated any hiccups She had along the way until the full gallery was available. I would and will choose her again for any family and life event photos, hope she enjoyed shooting for us because it wont be the last shes seen of me. To say the least she played a massive role in making my wedding day memorable.

I can’t speak highly enough about this company. She made me feel so comfortable. Me and my husband aren’t comfortable in front of the camera and our pictures turned out absolutely amazing. I would work with her a million times over. I planned a very quick wedding and she was more than happy to travel with no cost. This was such a fun and relaxing experience. There was no pressure to do anything we weren’t comfortable with which was important for both of us. Would recommend ten times over. Absolutely incredible. She captured things that I couldn’t see from my point of view and couldn’t be more pleased.

I can’t say enough good things about Jovan! She is truly talented in every type of photography: portraits, weddings, events, and everything in between. Her work captures not just moments, but real emotions and memories you’ll treasure forever. Beyond her incredible skill, her personality is what truly sets her apart. She is so easy to work with, makes everyone feel comfortable, and brings out the BEST in every shoot. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, passionate, and a joy to be around, Jovan is the one! ELLA ES INCREÍBLE! 🙂 La recomiendo!

We absolutely love working with Jovan! She photographed my daughter’s 1st birthday and most recently our new store, and every experience has been amazing. She is incredibly kind, supportive, and makes you feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. Her work is beautiful and truly captures special moments. Highly recommend! 🤍📸

Great energy, great eye for detail, and very friendly!!! Loved getting our family of 15 pictures done by Jovan! She was so patient and helpful with the poses! We were a crazy loud group and she fit right in hahaha the pictures came back quick and perfect!!!! Highly recommend and love that she was able to travel to our favorite park to get take them!!

Jovan was a great photographer! Loved her energy and eye for places and lighting! As an interracial couple she did a great job capturing skin tones without making us look too pale or too dark. Her shots are true to color and the black and white are great too! She was also very helpful even outside the scope of taking photos. Would definitely recommended!

Jovan was absolutely AMAZING!! She was exactly everything you would want in a photographer!! She worked well with the kids, she would suggest you to do certain things so that you would end up looking the best you could in the photos!! My wedding photos turned out stunning and she captured such sweet moments! She was friendly and personable , she made you feel as if she had known you forever!! She’s been a joy and pleasure to work with and I recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful photos for any occasion taken! I will definitely be using her again!

I had such an amazing experience working with Tatiana for both my maternity and newborn sessions!! She is a true professional and I loved that I didn’t have to stress about what to wear or what to bring, and all I had to do was show up. My photos came out absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend booking with her.

Tatiana is great!! She had everything we needed for our newborn/family and maternity pictures. She is very personable, and outgoing, and makes you feel very comfortable. Her pictures are amazing and she is the only photographer I would trust to capture all of my special moments.

Tatiana was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and informative so we knew exactly what to expect for the day of the photo session. She even let us take a quick much-needed nap during the session. Tatiana is a talented photographer and we were very happy with the quality and style of the photos she took of our sweet newborn. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

Tatiana is an excellent photographer, and I highly recommend her. She photographed cake smash pictures for my twins' first birthday, as well as a few family photos. I have a 3 year old and 5 year old in addition to my twins, so this was no easy task! She was so very patient with my children, and the pictures she took are beautiful. I especially love the addition of tub photos after the smash. She provided the cake smash background and outfits, and I appreciated that extra touch. Thank you, Tatiana!!

Tatiana was amazing to work with. She was very child friendly and child centered. My 2 year old even had a blast at his sisters cake smash photoshoot. The husband enjoyed the champagne. The pictures turned out GORGEOUS! It was hard to decide which ones to print and stay on budget. I can’t say enough how amazing she is as an artist and person. She made us feel so comfortable. We will definitely use her again for family photos next time!

Tatiana was amazing to work with! We spent so much time talking about the first year and what I wanted for the photo shoot. She customized a piece that I really liked and it turned out perfect! She is a joy to work with and will work very hard to make sure that she gets everything you want! She prepared us well before the shoot and followed through with top notch pictures and service after. She gives specific ideas on attire and will work around the weather/ your family’s schedule. The pictures are amazing and I love all of them!

Tatiana is an amazing photographer! She was able to provide a professional assistant so that she could seamlessly photograph my newborn twins. I highly recommend her for a newborn photographer. She was amazing with babies and the experience was enjoyable and stress-free! The babies were calm and happy the entire shoot and the pictures came out priceless! We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Master Portrait studios created such a memorable experience for me and my family. They were so patient and kind with my children which made the session seamless. I will definitely be back for any other special family moment !

5 stars won’t reflect the actual work this company does. If you’re looking for professionalism, efficiency, creativity and courteous service…Master Portrait Photo is the place to go. Salvador and his staff is willing to go above and beyond to make your special day… a one to remember, every detail and emotions are captured by his lenses and experience. He adapts to your needs and his quick service and response trough your planning makes it really easy. Salvador has been the photographer for two of our daughters Quinceañeras and we are very pleased with the results. Memories that will last forever!!

Went for family photos(9 ppl) and was greatly pleased with everything! He had it all set up and did all the poses except for the kids 🙄🤣 they had their own lol but all the pictures came out beautifully and very professionally 💜 didn’t know it was a Master Lab out this way but I’m glad I know now lol anyway check this place out if you’re looking for great pics!!!

I cannot recommend Master enough! Salvador took care of all my requests and worked with me to craft the perfect photos. Very professional and kind service.

Very professional, nice, and great atmosphere. I enjoyed the whole experience. My daughter was pleased with her graduation pictures and they have a lot of options to choose from. Family oriented business. I would definitely recommend and give them 5 stars. Price is great too. Will go back in the future.

Took our son today to get pictures for his 1st bday!!! The owner did everything he could to get some amazing shots of him. Can’t wait to book my next session!

I recently had excellent customer service experience at a Master Portrait Photo Lab. The owner and his team were incredibly friendly and kind and treat customers with the utmost respect. They made us feel so comfortable and welcome throughout our entire session. This Guy took stunning pictures of my family. The edits were done beautifully, and I loved the background in the studio. The owner even provides a variety of outfits for different occasions, including maternity wear, completely free of charge. The clothing options were gorgeous and would have been too expensive to purchase elsewhere. The professionalism of the owner and his team stood out. Everyone was so pleasant, patient, and understanding, especially when it came to working with our little kids (who can be a challenge during photoshoots!). To top it off, the owner gave us extra photos that we didn’t initially choose, just so we could have them digitally. He sent them to my email free of charge, which is rare and really appreciated. It shows how much he values his customers' experience and is willing to go the extra mile. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking to capture beautiful family moments. I’ve been taking photos of my family here for almost four years, and I still cherish every shot. Such a wonderful experience every time!
