Hello and welcome!

I'm Dean Gardner, a photographer based in Indianapolis, Indiana. My passion for photography began as a young kid receiving my very first camera as a Christmas gift. I have always been intrigued by the power of a camera to capture a moment in time. Throughout the years my passion for photography grew as I continued to experiment with the endless possibilities that a camera can offer. While attending Indiana University I got my first interchangeable lens camera, which helped me grow my skills even more, giving me full control to capture a scene or a person the way that I wanted to. From there I began doing senior pictures of friends that were graduating, was asked to photograph a family member's wedding and took my camera around the world with me as I traveled. I realized that this was something I enjoyed and wanted to continue to do more and more.

In 2019 I married my beautiful wife, Abigail, and in November 2021 we had our first child! We met as students at IU during our time in Cru, a campus ministry we were both involved in. We have a passion for travel and love to camp. Since being married we have visited over 30 national parks. We currently live in a tiny house on wheels that we built in 2020 and absolutely love it! We also enjoy playing board games, skiing and biking. We also have a super friendly pup named Huxley, who cant wait to be a big brother!

It is my hope that you will trust me to capture your life's biggest moments to have memories to cherish for a lifetime.
