FAQs
How far in advance should I book a session?
For headshots, family portraits, and senior sessions, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance. Dance sessions, especially Prima or Concept Shoots, may require more planning time. Weddings and engagement sessions should be booked several months ahead, particularly during peak wedding season.
Do you travel outside of Indianapolis?
Yes. Travel is included for sessions within the Indianapolis metropolitan area, including most portrait, dance, and wedding packages. For locations outside the area, a travel fee may apply depending on distance and session type.
What should I wear for my session?
Wardrobe depends on your session type. For headshots, we recommend clean, professional looks that align with your brand. Senior and family sessions benefit from coordinated (but not necessarily matching) outfits, while dance sessions may involve costumes or multiple looks. We’ll cover all of this during your pre-session consultation.
Do you offer retouching?
Yes. All sessions include basic retouching. Headshots and dance images often include more detailed retouching for selected images, while wedding galleries focus on overall color correction and consistency, with a set number of fully retouched images included per package.
Can I order prints and products through you?
Yes. All sessions include access to a professional online gallery where you can order prints, albums, and wall art. This is especially popular for family portraits, senior photos, and weddings.
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
For outdoor portrait and senior sessions, we’ll reschedule if needed. Wedding and event coverage will continue as planned, with adjustments made to ensure we still capture beautiful images regardless of conditions.
Do you help with posing?
Absolutely. Every session includes guidance tailored to your experience level. Headshots focus on confident, professional posing, while family and senior sessions are more relaxed and natural. Dance sessions include direction to highlight technique, movement, and form.
Are digital files included in all packages?
Yes. All packages include high-resolution digital images with personal usage rights. The number of images and level of retouching varies by session type, as outlined in each package.
What types of photography do you specialize in?
In Dancing Light specialize in headshots, senior portraits, family portraits, dance photography, and weddings. Each session is customized to fit the style and goals of that specific type of photography.
How do I book a session?
You can book by reaching out through our contact form or by phone (317-796-6292). We’ll discuss your session type, confirm availability, and walk you through the next steps.
