Gail Werner Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Gail Werner is a central Indiana wedding and portrait photographer.
Here’s where she tells you she likes the feel of the ocean and the
taste of champagne. Oh wait …

Truth is, she does love the ocean (when she can make it to a
coast!), but what she loves more is documenting the lives of her
clients — big days, little moments, they all carry meaning and deserve
to be captured.

This blog is where Gail shares her current client work and don’t be
surprised to find plenty of personal antecedotes on here as well.
Because when it comes to her life, Gail’s pretty much an open book. And
speaking of books, well, she loves those too. And her husband. And her
dog. So stick around and find out what else she likes or head over to www.gailwernerphoto.com to take a peek at her portfolio. Want to get a hold of her? E-mail Gail at gail@gailwernerphoto.com.

And just for the record, Gail also likes pina coladas but draws the line at getting caught in the rain.

Gail Werner is available for travel to any location.

Stacy: Bridals

When Stacy contacted me to shoot her bridals a few months back, I did what I do with a lot of my clients. Friend them on Facebook. I love getting to know my clients that way, getting an idea of who they are from their bios and their photos.
And I could tell Stacy was a...

The Smith Family

I don’t know where to start in talking about this family. Do I talk about my first impression upon walking inside their restored Victorian house? Because my jaw might have dropped a little once I did. And then I might have spent the rest of the evening trying to convince April that she needs to...

Who says they all have to be perfect?

A few weeks ago, my friend Jess of Studio3z Photography wrote a fantastic post about how she struggles to fight the tendency to make every shot “perfect.” I loved what she had to say about how, too often, we snap and snap away with the attitude of, “Well, I’m going to trash a lot of...

The Smith Family: Sneak Peek

The photographer world tends to be a small community and a rather tight-knit one at that. I can’t remember how or when April Cochran-Smith of Pure Photography got put on my radar, but one Facebook friending led to a Twitter following and the next thing you know, I feel like I’ve know the gal for...

The Shafer Family — Santa Monica-Ventura Family Portraits

It takes a special kind of person to be cool with a stranger crashing at her pad for four nights. Erin and her hubby, Jeff, are indeed special kind of people. I stayed with them in their apartment during my visit to L.A. this fall and loved getting to know the pair of them. They...

The Johnstons — Fort Wayne Family Portraits

I have been SO EXCITED to post this session because my heart is filled with so much love for this family! As I mentioned on my sneak peek of these guys a few weeks back, Zeb and I have known one another since grade school and he is someone who is just 100-percent, to-the-core good....

The Schaller Family

Warning alert, warning alert: CUTENESS OVERLOAD ENSUES …. NOWWWWWWWWW
I’m reintroducing you to the Schaller Family. What a fun session this was! I’m always amazed how I can end a family session sometimes feeling just as tired as I do a wedding and I gotta say, this family kept me on the move!...

Hug O’War

I will not play at tug o’war.
I’d rather play at hug o’war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
– Shel Silverstein

One of the best things about photographing children is being reminded of your own childhood. Sometimes, as in this case, in the most unexpected...

Johnston Family: Sneak Peek

I have to apologize to Zeb, Amy and little Logan with the delay in getting this sneak peek up. My days since this session have been go-go-go and all sorts of craziness! (Case in point: I’m out in Boston right now for a marketing conference! BOSTON!)
Amy sent me an e-mail this morning, excitedly asking me...
