Katie was a bridesmaid in a wedding I shot a few years ago (hey Bree and James!!) and I always remember her being so sweet and helpful. So I was so excited when she reached out to me about photographing her and Matt’s wedding! Katie and Matt have been friends since high school, they lost […]

We tried for a Fall engagement session for Rob and Amanda but instead it ended up being about 80 degrees. Regardless, it was so much fun working with them and capturing their love! Their sweet puppy Zeus joined in and totally stole the show! I had first met Rob in a networking group when he […]

Emma and Seth are the kind of people you meet once and instantly click with. They are fun, energetic, extremely kind and just plain good people.

Michelle and Charles grew up just 30 miles away from each other, but they didn’t meet until college on Michelle first night of her freshman year at the University of Illinois. Charles was a year in already and the perfect gentlemen to show Michelle around campus. They bonded over a love for the outdoors and […]

I was so excited to photograph the wedding of Edie and Luke because these two were just made for each other; they even share the same birthday and were born just hours apart!  Edie grew up in Springfield and we shared some mutual friends, I was ecstatic when she reach out to me about her […]
