MY STORY
Oh, hey there!
I’m Megan Benish, owner and principal photographer behind Forme Creative. Artful Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do. Originally from Akron, Ohio, I discovered my love for photography while earning my degree in Fine Art Photography and Art History.
Over the past 20+ years, my journey has taken me through Chicago, Nashville, and Indianapolis, capturing thoughtful imagery for brands, businesses, families, events, restaurants, resorts, and individuals who value authentic storytelling. Beyond photography, two decades in marketing, branding, and business operations have shaped my ability to create imagery that supports meaningful storytelling and business goals.
Based in Indianapolis, I specialize in lifestyle photography, portrait photography, event photography, brand photography, and food & beverage and hospitality photography all across the country.
I love documenting special celebrations, photographing a chef’s newest menu, creating imagery for a growing business, and capturing the quiet beauty of everyday life. My goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel genuine, meaningful, and deeply connected to the people and stories within them.
I believe the most compelling images are the ones that make you feel something. Through a blend of artistry, intention, and human connection, I create imagery that is warm, timeless, and true to life. Everyone has a story worth telling, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help tell yours.
HOLLA!

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES IN INDIANA AND BEYOND!
Based in Indianapolis and available for photography projects nationwide, Forme Creative provides professional photography for brands, businesses, hospitality groups, events, and people.
My work spans corporate headshots and team photography, brand and commercial photography, hospitality, food and beverage, events, lifestyle imagery, and custom photography for websites and social media. No matter the subject, my approach is rooted in artful storytelling: noticing genuine interactions, beautiful light, thoughtful composition, unexpected details, and the moments happening in between.
The result is imagery that feels polished and intentional without losing its humanity. Because whether I’m photographing a person, a plate, a property, or an entire experience, I want the photographs to do more than show what something looks like. I want them to communicate what it feels like.
PROFESSIONAL & CORPORATE HEADSHOTS
Professional headshots don’t have to feel stiff or overly corporate. I create polished, approachable headshots and team portraits for executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, and organizations, with a relaxed approach that allows personality to come through. Available on location throughout Indianapolis and nationwide.
BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY
Thoughtful brand photography tells people who you are before they ever read a word. From products and services to people, process, and behind-the-scenes moments, I create custom brand photography that gives businesses an authentic, cohesive library of imagery for websites, advertising, social media, PR, and marketing.
HOSPITALITY PHOTOGRAPHY
With a background rooted in hospitality, I understand that the experience is just as important as the space itself. I photograph hotels, resorts, restaurants, country clubs, and hospitality brands through food and beverage photography, interiors, team and service imagery, guest experiences, amenities, and the thoughtful details that bring genuine hospitality to life.
EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY
The best event photography captures more than who attended. It preserves how the experience felt. From grand openings and galas to fundraisers, corporate gatherings, private events, and special occasions, I blend candid storytelling with polished detail and environmental photography to document the people, energy, atmosphere, and moments that make each event memorable.
LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Relaxed, genuine, and artfully captured. My lifestyle photography includes family portraits, engagement and maternity sessions, personal branding, and lifestyle photography for influencers and content creators. Sessions are thoughtfully directed without feeling overly posed, leaving room for real personality, movement, connection, and those wonderfully unscripted moments.
WEBSITE & SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTOGRAPHY
Your digital presence deserves more than a collection of disconnected images. I create custom website and social media photography that gives businesses a cohesive library of fresh, on-brand visual assets designed for websites, organic and paid social media, email marketing, advertising, campaigns, and ongoing content needs.
