Kaitlin & Corey - Millcreek Wilde - Michigan

Yes, this wedding was last year… yes I am THAT behind in blogging… but ya know… I have a lot to edit!

Kaitlin & Corey are always the life of the party wherever they go so we knew they would throw an absolutely amazing party for their friends and family. This was one of my favorite wedding days.. they didnt let the rain dampen their day. They got married right there in the rain, and all those rain drops mixed with some tears of happiness for these two.

One thing I love about being a wedding photographer, is the referrals.. a lot of these people at this wedding are past and current clients. Which just always warms my heart when I see so many people I know and love at weddings. <3

Alyssa & Trey - Engagement

Back last spring? Maybe summer? I met up with Trey & Alyssa to shoot their engagement session in Michigan City. I was immediately excited to shoot their wedding in August of 2022. We didnt get much of a sunset, but we for sure enjoyed the warm weather and pretty downtown vibes.

Laura & Jalen - Ashley Farms - Yorkville, Illinois - Wedding

When the first picture we took, was the dress hanging on the house… we knew it was going to be a good day.
What a beautiful November day these two had! We couldn’t believe that it was almost 50 degrees that late in November. It was beautiful. Laura and Jalen planned the best day. Their ceremony was scheduled for right after sunset, in a romantically lit barn. In photographer speak, it was golden.
We caught the last few specks of sunlight for some golden hour photos, and ran straight into the ceremony.
Everything was perfect.
My favorite part of the day, was when Laura was writing her vows while simultaneously rapping to “All I Do Is Win”. It was the best.

Madalyn & Brandon - Aberdeen - Valparaiso, Indiana Wedding

One of my favorite weddings from Fall 2020! The COLORS that day…. oh my gooooodness! I also always have fun at Aberdeen, and the Inn! It's so beautiful and the picture opportunities are AMAZING.
These two were so excited to get married, especially after everything they went through with covid.

Its no secret I went ham crazy on the details! Mad and her sweet mom put so much time, money and effort into this day and it was so amazing to watch her eyes light up when she walked into the reception space.
It was so adorable. <3

Ashley & James - Engagement - William's Orchard

One of my favorite fall engagement sessions took place at Williams Orchard!

I am already looking forward to this year and I can plan some sweet minis! <3
Okay back to Ashley & James. They are SO fun. I am so excited for their August wedding. It’s going to be AMAZING. We laughed every. minute of this session and the sun was just perfect.

Johnson Family

This was by far one of my most favorite fall family sessions last year!
The Johnson family pulled up in their fall outfits and sweet little Claire was r e a d y for the camera. READY for it.
Some of my most favorite pictures came out of this session so you have probably seen them a lot already!
This full gallery was packed full of beautiful images.

Nicole & Eric - Chesterton, Indiana

Nicole & Eric wanted a small backyard wedding before covid was even thing! They just had their family and closest friends to spend their special day together. Their backyard, and their house are just beautiful!
I know they put so much work into their big day.

It was just a beautiful September day. <3

Polivka Family

I loveeeee these guys. Its been amazing to see them almost every year for the last couple of years!
Their sweet family just keeps growing! This takes me back to amazing weather and beautiful fall sunsets.
I miss it… as its 25 degrees and there is snow on the ground.
Yes. im THAT behind in blogging
Looking forward to seeing these guys again soon. They are all fun, games, and laughs.

Sam & Donnie - DeMotte Indiana - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines

Sam & Donnie had their engagement session just a few short weeks before their wedding and it was easily one of my favorites! It seemed like we got SUPER lucky at their wedding too with the sun!
And my favorite buddy Cole was able to take us to a few places around Sandy Pines I had never been to so it was even more extra special!
Oh these two. They had the best day and I am so happy that fate had other plans for them. I know it wasn't easy planning three weddings. Yes. Three. Weddings. But due to covid they had to make other plans. Third times a charm and now they are living in marital bliss! <3
Cant wait to see these two again soon! Hopefully!

Blythe Family - Beach Session

This family right here is my FAVE. I have been seeing them for a few years now, and their sessions are always my favorite! <3
Rachel wanted a beach session, so we made it happen. I just cant believe how big these kiddos are getting.
Just LOVED this session.

Perez Family

This sun soaked family session was one of the best summer sessions <3
Although little miss didnt smile so much, her parents were cute enough to make up for that! <3

This was one of my favorites! The sun was PERFECT!

Jeff & Lizzy - Maternity

OH… Jeff & Lizzy… I was so happy to see these guys again. Its been a hot minute since I have seen these two, almost three. I was SO excited that these guys had me capture these memories for them. Their wedding last year was one of my favorites and my most memorable. Beach sessions have been my jam lately and this was just a cherry on top of the summer! <3

Angela & Alex - The Pavilion at Sandy Pines - Demotte Indiana

Angela & Alex kicked off wedding season back in June. The world was still a giant question mark. These two pushed through that and made sure they were standing in front of their family to say their vows!
It was such a beautiful day and it was a great way to kick of wedding season. I feel like I haven’t had a chance to sit down since this day!

Sandy Pines will forever be my favorite venue in this are. I mea.n… the perfect sunset portrait place… the prefect dress hanging place… its really just perfect.

This might be my favorite wedding… of 2020! <3

Kayla R - Greenhouse Mini

Round two of greenhouse minis were almost as great as the first! There wasn’t a lot of hanging baskets like the first round but it was a fun challenge!
These little girls are like night and day, but are SO adorable. It took awhile for Luna to warm up to me, but those smiles just kept coming!

Jones Family - Lifestyle Session

Jennifer contacted me wanting family photos in their backyard, and I got all excited! I love when clients want to incorporate their homes and their hard work. And let me tell you. This front & back yard is AMAZING! I give props to Mr Jones over there… I can barley keep a spider plant alive and they are supposed to be “unkill-able” BET.
This is one of my favorite sessions!

Shelby & Jace - Engagement

OH MY! Where to start. When driving to their session that day, clouds moved in and a cold front snapped us back to spring reality.. I am FOREVER thankful we waited until the last bit of “sunlight” to leave. Because we had the BEST sunset that day. It was incredible.
I am SO excited to see these two very soon for their October wedding day! <3

Gavin - Lifestyle Newborn Session

This was my second lifestyle newborn session after quarantine, and it was just a breath of fresh air…
It was great to catch up with Sean and meet Katie & Gavin for the first time!
Sweet little Gavin was not having it for the first half of the session but after some food and rocking he was asleep and good to go for the last half!
I truly love lifestyle newborn sessions. Its just so nice to be in a clients home and be where they feel most comfortable.

Jessica & Kyle - Couples Session

I met Jessica last year when she booked a boudoir session with me!! She lives out in Michigan and I causally mentioned I was going to stop at Round Barn to get some wine to take home since I was so close! She was like HEY! I like wine! SO thats the story about how we spent the rest of the day together! Stephanie, one of my trusted makeup artists rode up with me to the session so it was the three of us enjoying a nice couple of hours beautiful weather and wine!
Now fast forward to May of THIS year. I finally got to meet Kyle! I loved loved loved their sessionnn! It was SO fun to see a familiar face, and take pictures. Their pictures are some of my favorites! AND they brought their sweet pups! <3

Hiscox Family - Greenhouse Mini

I blinked and these kids just grew up and are now almost adults…

Its always great to see this sweet family! This was one of my favorite mini sessions! These greenhouse minis were something I could see myself doing over and over again. I just loved them!

This was just a fun session.. I loved that the kids barley looked at me and just did their thing. It was amazing. <3
