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! Isn’t that such a sweet idea? I absolutely love doing things that are unique to my couples and special to them. […]

Abbi and Logan met me at a local park for this super dreamy session! We had the most perfect evening and glowy light that just made my photographer heart swoon! It was so fun to include their pup, Boog, who is just the cutest! (Shoutout to Abbi’s sweet sister who came along and was our […]

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! She’s a preschool teacher to some sweet kiddos and so she completely understands when I tell her stories about our 3 year old son! Tyler and Ben […]

This day started with Kaylee greeting us at the door of Marlene’s Event Barn, lots of hugs and “the day is finally here!”. It seems like we were just eating ice cream at their engagement session, (one of my all time favorites and not just because it involved ice cream!) and now here we are. […]

Some families I’ve photographed before and they’re returning with new little members in tow, and others are brand new faces that I loved meeting! One thing is for sure, […]

Along Route 125, nestled in winding backroads, you’ll find Clayville Historic Site in small town Illinois. It’s a quaint little historic 1800’s estate and the perfect backdrop for Jake and Haley’s wedding. This wedding day included an absolutely stunning color palette, gorgeous boho floral arrangements, and the most down to earth, sweetest couple! Jake and […]

A cozy, beautiful lifestyle session with a family that sees my camera often! Big brother Elijah had so much fun loving on his baby sister. She certainly thought her session was fun too and didn’t want to miss it! Little Sophia was super alert and she even gave me a few smiles! We popped outside […]
