Themed Newborn Photoshoot in Indianapolis | Baby Asher Pilot’s Session
Updated: August 2026
As an Indianapolis newborn photographer it’s pretty common for mommas to reach out to me to book and plan for their newborn session. But in little Asher’s case, his daddy was the one that reached out to discuss details as we prepared for his custom newborn session at my studio on the east side of Indianapolis. Themed newborn photos are some of my absolute favorite newborn photos to create for families.
Asher’s Daddy is a pilot based out of Indianapolis.
It was so special to honor his parents’ request for him to be photographed with Daddy’s uniform and hat.
Photos like this will always have special meaning because they are a symbol of a unique piece of your lives as a family.
In addition to the newborn photos with daddy’s pilot uniform, Asher’s daddy had a small handful of specific requests, and it was so fun to provide each request!
One of the first things Daddy requested was “froggy pose.”
Asher was wide awake when we first got started, but he was content, so we let him wiggle about and wear himself out naturally so that he would be very sleepy in his own way to accomplish this pose.
Patience is the name of the game for much of a newborn session.
Once Asher was ready, we took advantage of him being comfortable in this pose and got a shot with a little hat and one without so that mommy and daddy had some variation for their photos.
The next request was a photo of Asher with his big brother and sister.
The kiddos did an amazing job and were so cooperative. We were able to get some beautiful heirloom photos that captured the sweet bond that is already there between these three.

Asher had a special outfit customized with his name
This request was from momma! She wanted a photo of Asher in his special custom outfit.
Daddy saw a photo I had done with this set up and asked if I could do it with Asher.
So we pulled out the campfire s’mores tin and posed him in this adorable set up!
Here are just a few other highlights from this special newborn session!
