Kaylin & Kevin - LaPorte, Indiana - Wedding

This March wedding - yes im still blogging sessions/weddings from March - we are busy over here.
Anywho - These two had such a beautiful day! For March it was still pretty warm AND they got a sunset!

Kevin is a natural at posing now. After an engagement session and soon to be some maternity photos!
But that will be a different blog post for a different day.

Their detail shots were some of my most favorites far this season.
The day was just so amazing. <3

Laura & Jalen - Ashley Farms - Yorkville, Illinois - Wedding

When the first picture we took, was the dress hanging on the house… we knew it was going to be a good day.
What a beautiful November day these two had! We couldn’t believe that it was almost 50 degrees that late in November. It was beautiful. Laura and Jalen planned the best day. Their ceremony was scheduled for right after sunset, in a romantically lit barn. In photographer speak, it was golden.
We caught the last few specks of sunlight for some golden hour photos, and ran straight into the ceremony.
Everything was perfect.
My favorite part of the day, was when Laura was writing her vows while simultaneously rapping to “All I Do Is Win”. It was the best.

North Ave Beach Summer Sessions

I have been toying with the idea of having a few designated days this summer for North Ave Beach sessions.. Its one of my favorite places to go in the summer. I have had a handful of family sessions out there, and each one gets better and better! 

I will take two of these sessions in May & June 
The price is $350 ($50 cheaper than my full session) 
For a 45 minute session and 15 edited images with the ability to purchase the full gallery.

Kim & Marc - Downtown, Chicago

in

The last wedding of 2019 was one for the books. I enjoyed getting to know these two over the course of the year. It made their wedding day even more special. They had a change of location, and honestly I think it was for the best… I looooooved getting the opportunity to shoot at the Rookery Building in downtown.

Everything fit into place and it was a perfect day. I love these two so much and cant wait to see what married life has in store for them.

Kaitlyn & Nate - Hobart, Indiana

Can I just say, how much I looooove backyard weddings. If you're wanting to host your own backyard wedding, take notes from these guys… I know they worked SO hard on their house and yard that year to make sure it was perfect. Kaitlyn & Nate are the two sweetest people, and their day was just perfect.

The daddy, daughter first look was my favorite of this season. It was the sweetest thing ever.

Basically their day was amazing and one of my favorites this season. <3

Danielle & Chris - Valparaiso, Indiana

When I met Danielle & Chris for their consultation a year ago, I just knew they were going to be one of my favorite couples. When talking about their wedding plans, they just wanted a low key, backyard wedding. MAN. I live for these types of weddings. LIVE FOR THEM.
These two are just the cutest. I loved their special day. They got ready at the Aberdeen Inn, one of my favorite little places for getting ready pictures. The natural light in almost every room is amazing. The back section with the beautiful gazebo and tall trees. I could go on. - I will just say again how much I loved their day.

Schrock Family - North Ave Beach

Oh the Schrock family. Was SO excited t o meet these guys. Little miss over here gave me a run for my money. Not many smiles were given, but I earned every single one she gave me! I absolutely love North Ave beach in the summer and fall months. Not many people around, and the scenery is just beautiful. Its one of my favorite locations in Chicago, when I do get out that way. Im really sad its winter, I won’t get to see this beach again until summer :(

Josh & McKenzie - Aberdeen Manor - Valparaiso, Indiana

Oh Josh & McKenzie… your day was one of my favorites this year. We all know how much I love the Sim’s family. They are a constant on my page. I was honored to capture another Sim’s family memory. <3

Josh and McKenzie, your day was PERFECT. The perfect September day.
I always love when the bride and bridesmaids pop a bottle (or two!) of champagne. The pictures are super fun and cute! McKenzie was super excited for this part! AND she got to feed the family cows <3

I could go on and on about their love and how happy I am for them. They are the sweetest. So I will just send you to the photos. The reason why you are here anyway!
Also, tell Trish what a beautiful house she has… :) She doesn’t hear it enough from me…

Jessica & Brandon - Beach Mini

Beach minis took over my life this summer, and im not mad.. My husband is because of all the sand in my Jeep but thats not important :)
Jessica & Brandon were a joy to work with. Super sad I was already booked for their wedding. :(
When I asked if they wanted to get in the water, and of course they were game! I loved their session! <3
Loooook how cute they areeee!
And that SUN! Look at that sun!

The Jensen Family - North Ave Beach

I was so excited to meet the Jensen family just a few weeks ago! Hayley wanted a session in Chicago before they moved later this year. This session was CRAZY! We got about 35 minutes into the session and some FOG rolled in. It was the coolest thing. I absolutely loved this session. Loved this family. I wish them all the best in their new adventure!

Rachel & David - Beach Anniversary Session

OH Rachel & David…. you guys are so sweet. So near and dear to my heart.
When Rachel reached out and asked about an anniversary beach session I was elated. Normally we do pictures at the house with the kiddos. This time it was just alllll of them! <3

Maggie & Aaron - Sandy Pines - May 4th

May the 4th be with you! These love birds got married on a very special day. Their love for Star Wars did not go unnoticed on their wedding day…
Ever since their engagement session last year I was very impatiently awaiting their wedding day. They were so fun to work with, I knew their wedding day would be filled with good times, and smiles.
I have already spent some time with their bridal party as I photographed one of the groomsmen weddings last year! I knewww they would keep Amanda & I on our toes. I loved everything about this day.
Wedding season is officially in full swing! <3

Kate + Phil - Engagement Session - South Bend

Kate contacted me a few months ago, and we instantly clicked! She sent a couple of location ideas and I was game for ALL of them! The first session we tried to have it rained, our rescheduled date wasn’t looking so hot either… As it literally snowed. In April. It was insane. But these love birds cuddled up and enjoyed their session! <3

Hadley Grey - Lifestyle Session

I was so excited to get another lifestyle newborn session!
Mom and Dad had the perfect nursery set up for her, so much natural light!
This has to be my favorite lifestyle session to date.. Look at those facial expressions. <3

Family Session Dates

Wedding season is quickly approaching and I have slim to nothing as far as open session dates for family sessions. I LOVE these family sessions, so if you have an open day during the week, and the kids dont have any sport practice or you dont have to work late. Book a session! I want to be able to pack as many sessions into summer and fall as I can. Weddings aren’t the only thing I do ;)

Danielle & Jennifer - December 1, 2018 - The Allure On The Lake

The Allure On The Lake

Danielle & Jennifer were my last couple of 2018, and they really did not disappoint. After talking to Jennifer so many times closer to the wedding, I felt so incredibly close to them. I cant tell you how many times I would start to tear up during their ceremony. I don’t think I have ever seen two people more perfect for each other. I say this all the time, but I really mean it with them. These two ladies really have my heart. I wish them all the happiness and love in the world. It was so hard to pick the images for this blog post. SO many images.

Jessica & Dixie - Trash the dress

When Jessica booked her wedding with me last year, she made sure I knew that she wanted a “trash the dress” session with her horse Dixie. Who was I to deny her that!
Seriously one of my favorite sessions this year… hands down. <3

Klobuka Family

I was missing the sunshine and warmth this morning, so I thought id blog one of my favorite Fall family sessions.
I know I don’t post a lot about family sessions anymore, as weddings have completely taken over. Its no secret I am a wedding photographer, but I still adore family sessions… Interacting with your kids, making them smile, and my favorite “SQUUUUUISH”.
I make sure we get a couple “grandma poses”, ya know just incase. The remainder of the time is spent cuddling, and asking the kids to look up your nose..
I miss family sessions. I miss sun… and warmth. Not the mosquitos though…..

Horst Family - Lifestyle Newborn

Its not a secret I don’t get a lot of newborn sessions, so you can understand my excitement when Katy contacted me. I am just IN LOVE with their little family. Sam the puppy really got in on it too. He’s very protective over his little sister. <3 <3 I need more of these. My heart cant handle the cuteness.
