We were SO blessed with a beautiful dusting of fresh snow for Lindsey and Max’s engagement session! We met up on their family farm and froze our booties off, but it was 1000% worth it! They are so playful and sweet with each other which made my job incredibly easy. I cannot wait for their […]

Annie and Will are living in separate states right now so Thanksgiving break was the perfect time to capture their engagement photos!

Soderstrom Castle was the perfect backdrop for their session and definitely helped blocked the very cold wind […]

I met Lexi and Johnny in Kankakee to capture their engagement photos! These two met at a White Sox game and Johnny proposed 3 years later at the tailgate of another Sox game so they had to rep their jerseys for a few photos. I loved explore the Kankakee River with them and capturing their […]
