It is not unusual for clients to show up to sessions & tell me they are not photogenic. My response to this statement is always, “I don’t believe you,” because I honestly refuse to believe anyone simply does not photograph well. However, I have never had someone tell me they do not know how to […]

It’s not every day I get to venture away from my typical photoshoot locations to visit someone’s personal property for a session. You can equate the excitement to a field trip day in school! Cara & Tanner so graciously welcomed me to Cara’s family’s property out near Bradford, IL. Besides being a fun place for […]

It feels like just yesterday I had MacKenzie in my cabin at camp. The girls & I would stay up way too late talking about all the things (as girls do) & without fail, every year, we would always talk about their future weddings & dreams of their future spouses. Little did we know that […]

Alyssa & Jake’s engagement session was just the pick-me-up this photographer needed. To be honest, I’ve really been missing my job. This time of year I am typically flooded with editing from summer weddings & my camera bag hasn’t been unpacked in months because I am always on the go for sessions. Sadly, because of […]

  It’s 5:45am & the sun is just rising over our beautiful city. While they don’t happen often, I love sunrise sessions & I am particularly excited for this one because it is the first time I get to meet Emma & John face-to-face. But as soon as I begin to greet my couple, we […]

Let me just say: I am THRILLED to be blowing the dust off of this blog with a new post! Last week I met up with Jenna & Greg for the first engagement session I’ve photographed since March. It feels so good to not only be photographing again, but to be with my couples. What’s […]

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 […]
