WELCOME TO The BLOG! 

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 […]

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!

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 […]

I was so honored when this couple contacted me about doing an anniversary session! They have been married 50 years and let me tell you, it’s a beautiful thing! Not only did we end up having a great time, they were able to make memories together during our session.   I aim for couples or […]

Jill and Jd were high school sweethearts.  Jill and I are both in nursing school (well she was but she just graduated!! which deserves it’s own celebration!) and it’s a pretty small community around here so over the years we’ve crossed paths, but never really gotten the chance to know each other.  When they announced that they were […]

Brandon & Aleshka had the sweetest intimate wedding at a cozy lodge!  Their day was filled to the brim with warm embraces, happy tears, laughter, and most importantly the day was centered on Christ. One of my favorite things about weddings is that each one is different and every couple has something unique that is […]
