Loft 18
Founded by a photographer for photographers. Our 1800 square feet of natural light studios are nestled in the heart of downtown Fortville on Main Street. Our mission is to provide content creation services to other industry professionals including photographers, videographers, podcasters, and marketers.
"Studio Loft 18 is consistently one of my favorite studios I've EVER shot in. It's always clean, quiet, and so amazing to be creative in. From boudoir to branding sessions, all of my clients love it and are always in awe when they walk in! I have so many good things to say and will continue to come back to shoot here!"
Styled Shoots
Whether you’re a new creator looking to expand your portfolio, or a seasoned pro who is looking to shoot something outside of the box, a styled photo shoot can be a great way to get those creative juices flowing and join forces with other creatives for a fun filled day.
Equipment
Flourish in our content creation space using a wide array furniture, props, and seamless backdrops. We also have backdrop stands available for use plus an 8′ rolling/moveable backdrop wall which changes colors seasonally.
Furniture
We offer many eclectic and modern pieces of furniture at the loft. You can use anything from a channel tufted sofa, several different “bohemian-style” chairs and a handful of petite and ornate chairs. From apple boxes, to stools and crates-we’re certain you’ll love our inventory.
"BEAUTIFUL SPACES, INSPIRE BEAUTIFUL WORK"
The heart and hustle behind LOFT 18
KATHERINE SCHEELE
Meet Katherine, the founder and creative director of LOFT 18 — a natural light studio built on the belief that beautiful spaces inspire beautiful work.
What started as her personal creative vision has evolved into a gathering place for photographers, creatives, and entrepreneurs who share a passion for storytelling through imagery. Every corner of LOFT 18 was designed to spark inspiration, encourage personal growth, and a place for small business’s to thrive.
One of her greatest joys is watching other industry professionals build their own successful businesses with LOFT 18 as part of their creative journey. It’s more than just a studio — it’s a community where artistry, ambition, and curiosity come to life.
JONATHAN SCHEELE
Meet Jon — our Chief Chaos Coordinator and unofficial storm‑tamer. When things start spinning, he’s the one keeping the wheels on and the vibes high. Jon thrives on turning chaos into calm, solving problems before anyone even knows they exist, and keeping our clients smiling the whole way through.
He runs ops, wrangles schedules, and even makes spreadsheets look cool (we’re still not sure how). Basically, he’s the glue, the balance, and the reason LOFT 18 doesn’t spontaneously combust during busy season
One of your favorite locations guaranteed to be on repeat.
