A LUTHY BOTANICAL GARDENS and CAFE SESSION When Kylie and Trent mentioned wanting to include the cafe they had their first date at as a location for their engagement session, I was all in!

A DREAMY SPRINGTIME ENGAGEMENT SESSION IN PEORIA, ILLINOIS Meet Tyler & Tiffani (& Peanut!) When Tiffani and I first spoke, I knew we would be a great fit!

A CASUAL URBAN ENGAGEMENT | PEORIA, IL I have to admit winter sessions typically leave me missing that beautiful touch of greenery warmer seasons bring. But let me tell you, Kord & Brittany made up for it in every way at their engagement session! There was just the faintest glow from the sun that lingered […]

Michael and Abigail had a beautiful fall day for an engagement session! Though a bit chilly, they were amazing and brought so much spontaneous fun! Look at them dancing in the middle of the street- that was no posing, just these two having fun! We shot their engagement session at a local park, and it […]

The definition of a dreamy summer evening date night! No, seriously. I often tell my couples to think of their engagement session as a sort of date night. It’s a one time event that includes quality time together celebrating the excitement of getting married, a chance to dress up and a great reason to go out to dinner after!
(Or in this case, ice cream!) It was the best!

MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN Engagement Session | St. Louis Taking engagement photos in the middle of summer can be kind of tricky with the heat. It’s a huge blessing when there’s a breeze or it’s a cooler evening. Joey and Ashley met us down in St. Louis at the Missouri Botanical Gardens for their engagement session. […]

Downtown Engagement Portraits | Fort Wayne, IN This session was just as amazing as it looks. We spent the evening with Joe and Claire downtown Fort Wayne, IN.  We actually hadn’t shot in Fort Wayne before and had a lot of fun with these two! It’s always fun for us to shoot in a new […]

This is an exciting post to share! Not only did we have a gorgeous winter day to do their engagement session, but Philip is my cousin and we’ve loved welcoming Maggie to the family! Philip and Maggie actually don’t live that far away from us but… just far enough that we don’t see them too […]
