Something I never thought I would say: it feels so good to be blogging again! I would never consider myself much of a writer, but I love that I finally have something new to share with all of you. With wedding season just around the corner, Kaitlyn & Patrick were a breath of fresh air […]

I have this theory: awkward couples don’t exist. No really. I don’t believe there is such a thing as an awkward couple. You & your significant other are exactly who you are supposed to be—together & individually. In fact, often times, it’s the quirks that I believe make you two so perfect. When Courtney & […]

Would you have guessed this session happened at sunrise & it was so cold you could see your own breath? Honestly, Elissa & Grant were a dream to photograph & I loved spending my Saturday morning with them. Just from our short time together, it is so evident how deeply they care for one another…even […]

Mary Rose & Tyler have lived a real-life fairytale & my hopeless romantic heart is in a puddle every time I hear their story. In short, the two met while play Prince Charming & Cinderella in a local theater production back in 2015. If their love story wasn’t meant to be, I don’t know what […]

For most people, the month of October means trips to apple orchards, decorating your home with pumpkins, & flannel everything. But for photographers in the midwest, October means busy season! While it never gets easier to be away from home, I think I have enjoyed this crazy month more than usual. Not only do I […]

My time with Anna & Luke at their engagement session was so fun. With the amazing September evening sky overhead, I loved laughing & getting to know these two on Saturday evening. When we weren’t chatting, you could hear the faint sound of the local restaurant’s band playing—talk about the perfect setting for a session! […]

It has always been a quiet dream of mine to watch a once Lauren Anderson Senior become a Lauren Anderson Bride, so when Sydney’s mom told me wedding bells are on the horizon, I was thrilled (while feeling slightly old)! It is always so exciting to walk with my clients through their major life events, […]

Scheduling sessions can often times be a challenge—especially when you’re hoping to capture that ideal time of day to photograph (within 1-2 hours of either sunset or sunrise). For Shannon & Sam, sunrise seemed to work best &, being a morning person, I was all for it. These two have a contagious love for one […]

I love photographing engagement sessions at locations that have meaning for my couples. Last Saturday I traveled to the Missouri Botanical Garden to meet up with Hannah & Matt—a place the two of them visited often while dating. They would spend hours walking the acres of the perfectly manicured foliage getting to know each other […]

After rescheduling once due to this crazy spring weather we’ve been having, we finally saw the sun again just in time for Katie & Matt’s engagement session. As luck would have it, there was one blooming bush left & you know I was all about it! Apart from weddings, it has been a long time […]
