Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Paige & Virgil - and their pups Art & Ernie kicked off busy season this year and I wouldn’t have asked for a better start! The light was INSANE. I just shot their wedding this past weekend and I can’t wait to share those too!!
Gosh these guys are my favorite <3
The biggest honor I get in life is when past couples hire me for their life memories and some of their biggest moments as couples.
The facial expressions on this kid was top notch! I have never met a more chill baby! Like look at that first picture. Hands under his head, a little smirk.
Just gonna leave these here.. with their sweet pups too!
Bre & Corey also were a covid reschedule, so I was looking forward to this day for longer than I care to admit. I loved loved loved finally getting to work with them. My friendship with Bre is literally one of my most favorite things about this job. I love gaining friends every year with some of my brides. Its what I strive for.
Anywho. Back to these two love birds. - their day was much anticipated and the love that surrounded it was incredible.
These guys were so happy to finally be married and become a family of three <3
Oh these three, that were soon to be four. We had a very very chilly windy day back in April for this session. Barrett was not having the wind at the beach. Nothing that Sarah or David did helped. We just did a few mom and dad poses and decided to go search for a warmer location. We couldn’t push the session back because Sarah was due any day. The beach colors that day were insanely gorgeous.
Kayla & Patrick are near and dear to my heart. They were one of my first weddings back in like 2015! I loved every minute of spending the last couple of years photographing their memories in Chicago. Especially this one! I haven’t meet their sweet girl yet. YET. I hope they come visit me since they moved away from Chicago.
It really warms my heart when I see past couples for their biggest life moments. Nothing is a bigger compliment than that.
Now mind you, this was back in April… - Im THAT behind in blogging. Its fine…
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.
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
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
I am MISSING the beautiful golden fall sunsets right now… I know around that time of year I dont take time to appreciate it. Its wake up, edit, do laundry, edit more, go to a session, come home and edit some more and bed. So when its cold out, like how it is today, I take a little time to reminisce…
This was one of my first sessions at this location. and if you’re like me and like weeds… like crawling into weeds for the perfect picture. THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU. SO beautiful.
I am just so excited to see these guys again here in just a few short months!
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.
When your oldest, and longest best friend asks you for a special session.. you dont say no..
I was GAME for this when it was brought up. Its such a special bond between mother and child. I am so excited I was able to capture these memories. Rory is just the sweetest little boy and its been just amazing to capture all of this milestones
I love when my couples stick with me, to capture their lifetime memories. I remember these two when they got married… it was a HOT day. HOT HOT HOT. Im so glad they got a beautiful day for their sweet sons baptism. Its for sure one of my favorite baptisms. Super special ceremony for special people! <3
Hold the phone. These guys are SUPER MODELS. Their August wedding was one for the books and that blog is coming up soon!
Some of my favorite engagement photos came from this set… Gosh. THE SUN WAS AMAZING.
Okay, I LOVE family lifestyle sessions. It doesnt have to be cold for you to enjoy a cozy evening inside with the kiddos having a dance party and cuddling on the couch! Loved meeting this sweet family!
I went a little crazy with their blog post <3 But the kids are adorable.
When your sister in law wants an engagement session at a sunflower field… you do just that!
I am so excited to see these two get married next year… and I dont have to work that day! I get to be a guest at a wedding… for the first time in probably 6 years… haha.
Sunflowers are some of my favorite flowers, and this session was just a bast.
I mean.. look how CUTE they are! Little Harper is SO adorable. I know she doesn’t remember me from her newborn photos, but she made an impression on me for SURE!
I cant wait to do these again next year!! It was a blast!
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!
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
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.
The first beach session of the year, did not disappoint. AT ALL.
I love this sweet family - it has been a year since I had seen them and I didnt realize how much I missed faces up until this point in quarantine… Matts face is nice and all but I missed other faces!
I just love EVERYTHING about this whole gallery. I could not even narrow down their gallery to less than 400 images, so I knew their blog would be huge as well!
