Introduction: Hi, I'm Lori Cardwell, an Indianapolis based Portrait Photographer.
My focus is magazine style portraits for people that want quality images and a quality experience.
Need a professional headshot to go with your new profession, promotion or job search? I can help you with that.
I also love working with large companies that want consistent quality headshots for their teams. For large teams we can do a headshot day at your location and have new team members come into my studio as your team grows.
Want a group photo of your team? I can make composite group photos where people can be added and removed as your team changes without having to get the whole group together every time!
Need branding photos for your small - medium business? I love working with professionals who want to stand above the rest and want custom photos for their marketing materials.
Writing a book? I've worked with several authors to create images for their book covers.
Need a great photo for a dating website to find your perfect match? I can help your personality shine through in your photo.
Want to have a luxury photo shoot with full hair and makeup? I've got you covered!
My mission is to deliver the ultimate portrait experience for everyone, of all ages and sizes, to realize their true beauty and have photographs that they look and feel amazing in.
Headshot Session Process:
1 - CONSULTATION - What's your field? How do you plan on using the images? What will you wear? I will send you my custom getting ready guide full of tips to make your headshot session go smoothly.
2 - SESSION & PHOTO SELECTION - Headshot sessions last about 30 minutes. Arrive fully camera ready with 1 extra shirt or jacket for a quick change. We will take several photos with different expressions and angles to get your best shot. Then we will review the unedited images for you to choose your favorite image to be edited. Selected images will be edited and delivered in an online gallery link within 1 week for you to download and use any way you can think of!
LUX Photo Session Process:
1 - CONSULTATION - What style do you like? What clothes do you want to wear? How do you plan on using the images? We will work together to create a custom plan and mood board for your special photo session.
2 - PRO MAKEUP - I cannot emphasize enough the importance of professional makeup. I work with the top makeup artists in the Indianapolis area to guarantee your portraits are absolutely stunning and will turn heads! Arrive with hair camera ready.
3 - PHOTO SESSION - I will photograph you like we are shooting the cover of a magazine. Average session takes 3 hours with pro makeup.
4 - PHOTO SELECTION - We review your images. You make your selections. Pricing is per image. What you buy is completely up to you. We create beautiful quality artwork. After editing is completed, the final images are delivered to you via online gallery link (or prints are delivered to your home if selected).
------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE:
LUX sessions are booked out 2 weeks in advance.
I am not typically available to schedule LUX sessions less than 2 weeks out
EXCEPT for a headshot without pro makeup services.
To get better style and quality out of your portraits, adequate time for planning must be factored in.
I do NOT do family portraits at parks or other various locations. All sessions are scheduled in studio where I do have a wooded/park-like outdoor area as well if outdoor photos are requested.
Also I do NOT schedule sessions on the weekends. All sessions are scheduled during the week. Please do not request any weekend dates as I am not available.
Thank you!
