Abbie and Zack invited me up to Chicago for their engagement session and I absolutely loved it! I met these two last year when they were both in Rachel and Craigs wedding and I just remember having SO much fun with their bridal party that I was ecstatic when Abbie reached out to me about […]

Hanging out with Katie and Thomas was like hanging out with two of my friends! They were so much fun to be around, so laid back and I really enjoyed capturing them together. Like a lot of couples, the were a little unsure of being in front of the camera, but as the session went […]

I went to high school with Aaron and I always remember him being funny, kind and friendly to everyone! I was so excited when he reached out and asked me to photograph his wedding!

Jake and Amanda met while they were both working at the same bank branch. Jake is a talented golfer and he asked Amanda to his country club’s formal dinner and the rest is history! I have been waiting for them to get engaged ever since I used them as models for a styled shoot back […]

The late winter weather tried as hard as it could to ruin Karley and Jimmy’s engagement session. We had finally found an available date for their crazy busy schedules to make their session work and of course an 80% chance of rain popped up. I quickly got ahold of them and instead, we decided to […]

I was so excited for Karlee and Bryant’s engagement session because it wasn’t the first time I had worked with them. I got to photograph them together for a Fall mini session last year and just adored every second of it! There isn’t much chance to break the ice at a mini session, but these […]

Calla really wanted a fall engagement session and I just did not want to disappoint her. Two days before their session was scheduled we got slammed with a snow storm. I thought for sure we would finally lose the last bit of leaves and she would have to settle for winter only. We postponed a […]
