WELCOME TO The BLOG! 

From beginning to end, the entire day was beautiful. The weather, the couple, the details, you name it and it was perfection!

Call me smitten. This little boy has two adorable sisters who I had the pleasure of photographing as newborns as well! He is certainly loved and adored! Congratulations to this growing little family and a huge thank you for welcoming me into your home again to document these precious moments! I often start with baby […]

A Sweet Fall Wedding Get ready to meet two of the sweetest, kind-hearted people on the planet. We met them for their engagement session last fall, Mitch & Liz | A Peoria Illinois Engagement Session. They have a super cute met-in-college love story and so of course we had to incorporate the campus into their […]

It is such a fun thing to watch my client families grow! I have been blessed to capture this little family from welcoming their first son Elijah, through his milestones and now welcoming baby #2! (AND it’s a girl!) This little fam is a perfect example of how a client-photographer relationship starts and turns into […]

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!

Welcoming Baby Quinn – a Lifestyle Newborn Session One of my very favorite things about my job is that I often get to witness couples growing into the role of parents. This is so special, and even more so when I’ve known the couple beyond that journey like I have with Brandon and Sam. I […]

These two melt my heart! Opting to skip bitter temps early in the year during wintertime for an engagement session, these two decided to wait until it warmed up and got a little more green to do a casual newlywed session instead.  We had a great summer evening with the perfect glowy light and we […]

When it comes to guy’s sessions, often I hear them say they’re only doing their senior photos to make mom or dad happy, or to get something in a yearbook…I get it! Guys are not necessarily as prone to be swooning over the makeup and hair, or choosing outfits! But, that doesn’t mean we can’t […]

I’ve made it my mission to be more intentional in 2017 which means sharing more of my sessions with you! So… even though Caius is a little more than a month old, I’m super excited to be able to share this here.  I’ve had the blessing of knowing Greg & Allyson through a group at […]

“Being a parent wasn’t just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life.” ― Jodi Picoult This precious little girl has found a home with a family who loves and adores her!  Baby Abree was such a sleepy little gem during her session too- she made my job easy! I watched the […]
