I am so thrilled to announce Silver Pennies has a studio! Right in the heart of downtown Brownsburg just above our frequent partner & favorite shop Ella Mae’s Boutique. I can’t wait to share my excitement with you. I hope to see you there soon!
Special thanks to all of my loyal clients and wonderful friend, Abby McKinney, owner of Ella Mae’s Boutique
When she contacted me, she said the kids might not look at the camera and smile, but she just wanted to capture their love. That’s my kind of session! I think we did that and so much more. I LOVED getting to know this family!!
I tell every family I photograph, I want shoot as close to sunrise or sunset as possible. I know, I know, you have kiddos and sunset is like 9pm in the summer!!! But let me tell you WHY it’s worth the nap adjustment & snack prep. Better yet. . . let me show you.
The hour directly after sunrise and before sunset is often called the GOLDEN hour or the MAGIC hour. The name alone sounds inviting right? You know I’m all about magic.
The reason for this name is sunlight at this time is warmer in tone & much softer then when the sun is higher in the sky. People look prettier in softer light! It’s just more flattering. Midday sun can cause lots of shadows, too bright skin, and squinting. Let’s be honest, we want your eyes open and your skin looking gorgeous.
Sunset light is coming from an angle, so it adds dimension to your portraits. Dimension adds interest, taking your pictures from “just okay” to having depth and emotion. But the REAL reason I want you to give them an early nap, pack a snack and head out later in the evening is FEELING. I want you to FEEL something when you see your photographs. I don’t really want to take the “everyone looking and smiling traditional picture” you could have taken in a Walmart studio. Borrrriiiing. I want you to feel the connection your family has. Feel the warmth in your heart when you see your introverted kiddo not looking at the camera, surrounded by light, or your spirited child laughing out loud with that luminous glow behind them.
Try something for me. Think about how you FEEL when you’re kitchen windows are flooded with warm golden light in the morning or late evening. I feel happy, warm, content.
Now how do you feel in your kitchen midday? It’s light. It’s okay. It’s ORDINARY.
I want your photos and your whole expereince with Silver Pennies to be EXTRAORDINARY.
So PLEASE, when I say let’s meet at 7:15pm, trust me. After all, you’re hiring me right. Trust me. You wouldn’t tell your hairdresser which sissors to use. The light is my tool. Let me use it in it’s glorious and best version of itself. So you can look & feel glorious too.
Maybe even. . .Magical.

I spent my whole session with this sweet girl in awe of her beauty. Isn’t she the most gorgeous baby?! Her perfect petal lips and plump cheeks ~ so much baby goodness! 
Love the details of her fingers.
Congratulations Holt family!! She is perfection!!!
Karen was referred to me by a dear friend of mine and I’m so very grateful. This family has all of my favorite qualities! They know how to play together, work hard together, and never stop laughing. At the time of our session they didn’t know they would soon have 2 boys, but they knew Jack’s world would be turned upside down! I had such a great time photographing them just being themselves.
Congratulations Rossers! Stay tuned for newborn pictures of these guys very soon!
