For two people who have dedicated their lives to serving others (Kristin is a teacher & Zach is works for AMT), it only seemed fitting that their wedding day was flawless because their friends & family poured out to serve them. Kristin & Zach are adored & they love big in return. I always feel […]

It felt like Clare & Kyle were long time friends of mine during their Champaign engagement session last week. It’s a stretch but they could pass as “old friends” because I first met them four years ago when shooting Clare’s older sister’s wedding. Technicalities aside, Clare & Kyle have a way of making anyone feel […]

Years from now, when Randi & Kraig look back on their exceptionally warm June wedding, I hope their hearts smile. I hope they feel grateful they decided to risk the threatening dark clouds & stick with the plan of an outdoor ceremony. I hope they recall the incredible support of the numerous close family & […]

Anna & Luke could not have picked a more perfect day for their wedding—& they had multiple shots at it! After rescheduling a total of three times due to the pandemic restrictions, Friday, May 14, 2021 was the date they settled on & it was a day hand picked from a dream. In my opinion, […]

Every wedding day has moments that melt my photographer/hopeless romantic heart. It doesn’t matter if the wedding is short or long, traditional or totally unique, I always walk away with a sweet memory that allows me a deeper appreciation for my couple. Jenna & Greg did not want to see each other before the ceremony, […]

Emily & Seth’s light & airy April wedding was the perfect start to my 2021 wedding season. Never mind it poured rain until the ceremony started — nothing seemed to phase this bride & groom. The day was all about these two joining their lives together & stepping into their forever. I loved witnessing how […]

After about 15 minutes spent with Taylor & Brad, I felt like I’d known them forever. In the photography world, I think that’s how you know you’re working with “your people”. You know – the people you’d be friends with outside of work. What’s even better, as much as I enjoyed getting to know these […]

Spring is in the air & it felt so good to break out of winter hibernation for Skyler & Matt’s engagement session. Don’t let the warm glow of the sun fool you – it was still pretty cold (darn wind!), but that didn’t matter because my time with these two seemed to fly by. After […]

You know you picked the perfect day to get married when the weather cooperates. Those living in the midwest are well aware that no matter when you plan your wedding, you are still rolling the dice… especially if it is a winter wedding. This is why I’d like to consider Autumn & Shawn some of […]

As 2020 draws to a close, there is no doubt about it: it has been one strange year for my business. However, when I spend time with my couples, it’s as if the troubles of this world melt away. I experience the joys of love without fear or worry & it has been a gift […]
