Moonbug Photography

Moonbug Photography Sonja Clark of Moonbug Photography also creates stunning ballet and dance photography with Indianapolis Ballet. I absolutely love my career.

Have your corporate headshot, senior pictures, family and child photography taken in the studio or location in Indianapolis, Zionsville, Carmel I consider it a privilege to catch those fleeting moments on camera for my clients. Whether it is capturing a pregnant belly, the birth of a baby, a giggle, or even a temper tantrum; these are moments that should not be forgotten. I realized this when I ha

d my first child and my passion for photography blossomed. Being a former teacher, I relate well to children and truly enjoy being with them. I think children can sense my genuine feelings and are comfortable with me. What sets me apart from other photographers is my ability to capture THE look that truly expresses a child’s personality. My most common compliment goes like this, “You really captured his personality! I have been trying to take a picture of that expression for years and YOU got it. THAT is my child.” I don’t use props and sets to distract from what is the most important reason you are getting pictures taken, the child. My studio is simple and “kid proof.” The lights are suspended from the ceiling so they can’t knock anything over that is fragile. It’s small and comfortable which helps the children relax and interact with me naturally. I love outdoor shoots too and would love to meet you at a local park. Getting what you want is important, so we will spend a lot of time together through this process of creating your family pictures. We have a pre-session consultation where we discuss the possibilities so that we both have the same expectations and goals for the photo shoot. After the shoot, we meet again for your ordering session. You will have the opportunity to send a picture of your walls at home and I will use special software to show you exactly what your pictures will look like arranged on your walls to scale. It’s a tremendous help when making decisions about what to order. But that’s enough about me. I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

Meet Amanda, but she'll be Annette this weekend and next at Mud Creek.

In God of Carnage, Annette arrives ready to play nice - armed with manners, martinis, and a very tight grip on civility. But when tensions rise, the mask slips, the gloves come off, and things get deliciously unhinged. Watching Annette unravel is half the fun.

I can't wait for dress rehearsal tomorrow night!!!
Prepare for "Ethereal Blue to Fiery Red," a breathtaking production from Indianapolis Ballet that dives into the ultimate contrast of the human spirit.

💙 Ethereal: "Serenade," George Balanchine
A sea of blue tulle and moonlit elegance. Classical purity at its most luminous, poetry in motion. To follow is Balanchine’s energetic “Valse-Fantaisie,” set to the score by Mikhail Glinka.

❤️‍🔥 Fiery: "Bolero: au Fou," Francis Veyette
Set to Ravel’s legendary score, this electrifying work builds to a rhythmic explosion of passion, power, and intensity.

🥂 Milestone: "Waltz of the Hours," Jacqueline Hodek
A special performance of "Waltz of the Hours" by the Indianapolis School of Ballet, celebrating 20 years of excellence in our community.

Experience the grace, feel the fire.

✨ From the studio to the stage (and now, in front of the lens). ✨

Meet Julia North, a former pre-professional ballet dancer who found her way back to the art she loves. After winning a Moonbug Photography session at the Indy Dance Festival, Julia stepped back into the spotlight with grace, strength, and a touch of nostalgia.
