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.  We now have two boys who bring us endless joy! 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 also enjoy playing board games, skiing and biking. 

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