Brooke emailed me six weeks before their wedding inquiring about my photography. She stated that she was planning a last minute because, “Life is short and we’re ready to get married!”.. I was thrilled that I was available because after some social media stalking I knew these two were going to have a relaxed full […]

Aaron & Sarah | Green & Gold Wausau Wisconsin Wedding

I was standing in the hotel room talking with Sarah when Ann, Sarah’s mom came in.. We were introduced and then it happened. Ann started tearing up and gave me probably the biggest hug I’ve ever received in my life. It was in that moment that I have never felt more appreciated. I never want […]

Jordan & Morgan | Rochelle Illinois Outdoor Wedding

I walked into Jordan’s family home and Morgan welcomed me with a big hug. You know, not the light arms around the shoulder with a light pat but a full on bear hug (I’m a hugger by nature so it was welcomed in my book).. I instantly felt at home & the acquaintance relationship we […]

The Day I Dropped a Lens… | Personal Post

I stood there and stared at it for a moment.. I looked at my mom with a terrified look in my eye as I was in the middle of an engagement session (Hi Melissa & Thomas!).. I plastered on a smile and a giggle as I slowly reached down and picked it up from the […]

Melissa & Thomas | Chicago Engagement Session

By the end of the session (heck, even from the beginning) we felt like old friends. We laughed like old friends and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with a camera. Melissa & Thomas are spunky, comical, beautiful, warm individuals and they are the epitome of people that you would want to […]

Devon & Alexa | Mt. Horeb Wedding

She gracefully slipped her arms into the sleeves of her dress. A big smile splashed across Alexa’s face and that’s when I heard her say, “I’ve waited for this moment my whole life”. Alexa was so ready to marry Devon. In our culture it seems that we are forgetting the core of a wedding day.. […]
