It wasn’t to long ago that I photographed Terra & David’s maternity session–incase you missed it, check out the stunning images here. My beautiful best friend, Terra, and her wonderful husband David welcomed their baby girl on July 3rd! Everyone, welcome Amelia Kate to the world! Isn’t she perfect?! I’m obsessed in love. Terra and […]

The Brewer family came out for our Spring Mini sessions and I’m SO happy that they did! It was wonderful to see them again. I took Ella’s baby portraits when she was little and I can’t believe how much she’s grown since the last time I saw her! She’s such a stylish young lady with […]

I can’t believe Andrew is 2! He has grown so much since the last time I saw him and he is quite the dapper young man! From his bow tie to his adorable shoes–this boy is precious. I had a fantastic time photographing Andrew and his family at Fabyan West last weekend during my Spring Mini […]

I thought about posting Rachel & Brice’s entire gallery because I feel like I selected almost every image to include in my “favorite images from their session” blog post! Rachel contacted me about capturing her maternity session a while back and we have had it in our calendars for a while now. We both got a […]

Honored. The best word to describe how I felt when Keely asked me to take her family’s rustic spring portraits. I met Keely at a wedding in Crystal Lake a few years back where I was the photographer and she was the fabulous florist. When I first met her and her sister (Marcy) I immediately felt […]

Congratulations to my good friends Jessica & Luis on the birth of their baby boy, Deacon! I’m proud to offer this Huntley family, newborn photography. What a sweet, sweet, boy. He’s so incredibly precious and handsome. Oh, and those cheeks! I just want to squeeze them! Deacon slept through a majority of his newborn session […]

Three. The number of times I cried on the way home when we picked up the newest addition to our family. Three times and we weren’t even 15minutes in the car. I’m not ashamed. haha. I couldn’t help myself. Of course they were tears of joy and happiness-afterall, a 7 week wait to pick up our miniature […]

This family!! I can’t get enough of them! Lauren, Brian and Lilly make my smile from ear to ear! Are they not the cutest family, ever!? Lily’s beautiful big blue eyes, smile and giggle just melt my heart. I was beyond excited to photograph their fall portrait session. I’m so blessed to have such wonderful […]

Well, we did it! We did a photo session for every season during Jessica & Luis’s first year of marriage! Happy 1 year anniversary to this beautiful couple. I am so honored to have been a bridesmaid in this lovely couple’s wedding, to have photographed their one year anniversary session and I am so proud […]

I had the privilege of photographing Brittany & Austin’s engagement session last weekend- boy, are these two adorable & so fun! From the moment they stepped out of their car, I could see the happiness and excitement on their faces. They sure didn’t let the wind and misty rain get in the way of their […]
