Wedding & Portrait Photographer
The first session of 2024 was the sweetest little newborn session. Kaitlin & Corey are frequent flyers here at LEP, and two of my favorite humans. I loved shooting their wedding back in 2022. SO I was really excited when Kaitlin reached out and said they were welcoming a sweet lil babe and they needed newborn photos. <3
I was so happy to meet Taylor & Tyler for their sweet maternity session. The weather and sunlight could not have been more perfect. I absolutely love sessions that run late because we are too busy chatting and having a fun time. I felt like I had known these two for years after we got done.
Sessions like these are why I love my job <3
There is nothing like spring in NWI. This was hands down one of my favorite sessions… with some of my favorite people. Watching these two girls grow has been, amazing! Their personalities are, beyond incredible and so different from each other.
This session gives me life and if I could plaster these all over my walls, I would. <3
When Alarie & I talked on the phone before they booked with me, I felt like I was talking to a long lost friend from high school. The conversation flowed so easily I knew right then if I didnt book their wedding I would cry and this would be the one that got away.
Their day did not disappoint. They kept things small, intimate and made sure it was a day they could look back on and be happy with. Just their family and close friends. The people who matter most. <3
It was one for the books. I loved everything about their day.
Thank you Alarie & Peter for including me in your day. It meant so much.
The biggest honor I get in life is when past couples hire me for their life memories and some of their biggest moments as couples.
The facial expressions on this kid was top notch! I have never met a more chill baby! Like look at that first picture. Hands under his head, a little smirk.
Just gonna leave these here.. with their sweet pups too!
I have never been so happy for a planner to recommend me to a couple before.. until Ashley & Jim. Ashley & Jim were SUCH a fun couple. I would love to go get margs with them any day. Their day was a beautiful August, hot day. Their vendor line up was on point - from their videographer, dj, hair & makeup and everything in between. I loved loved loved capturing their day.. The amount of photos that will be shared on this post - I will not apologize! It was one of my favorite days! <3
I have never had a beach session where I delivered over 400 images…that was until this galley. I have followed this family before they had their little guy here, so to do this session was an absolute blast.
1000% one of my favorite sessions. Just look at those smiles.
Brittani & Sam were one of my many covid couples who decided to push their big day to 2021 just to be safe. In that time, they were able to secure a new venue and I think everything worked out for the better!
I was BLOWN away at how beautiful this little venue was. Right in the heart of downtown St Joe, Michigan this venue is across the street from beautiful Lake Michigan.
I absolutely loved seeing these two again and spending their day with them.
Its always an absolute honor when bride & grooms refer me to their engaged friends and they book me. I get to see these guys again at least two more times in 2022! Its going to be such an amazing time. <3
Gosh, I love my jobbbb! <3
Im just going to start this post with a, holy crap I am so behind in blogging the I literally dont have the time to blog 2020 stuff anymore. I HAVE to move onto 2021 stuff.
So the first 2021 session I am blogging is the sweetest newborn session of one of my fave couples. Hannah & Cameren are near and dear to me. I have loved capturing their sweetest memories from their engagement session, wedding, maternity & now Asher’s lifestyle session. I mean. Look at this sweet boy. How adorable is he??
Asher kept smiling and sticking his tongue out throughout his session and we just embraced It. His personality was shinning through even only being a few days old.
I cant wait until the next session and hopefully get to see this fam soon!
This was by far one of my most favorite fall family sessions last year!
The Johnson family pulled up in their fall outfits and sweet little Claire was r e a d y for the camera. READY for it.
Some of my most favorite pictures came out of this session so you have probably seen them a lot already!
This full gallery was packed full of beautiful images.
UM. All couples that adopt a new puppy NEED a couples session. This was just the best.
Downtown Crown Point was the perfect backdrop for these.
SO CUTE. So adopt a puppy… and then lets have a downtown session!
Puppy kisses star in a lot of these photos. Avert your eyes if you dont want to be blinded by cuteness.
I was so excited to meet Alexis & John. We had many conversations over the phone and just clicked instantly. Knowing wedding planning had been a very interesting time for them, I was so grateful they booked with me. I loved getting to know them and their sweet daughter. <3
I have said it time and time again but the best thing to come out of 2020 and covid was small elopements. Its something that I really and truly hope we can hold onto.
McKenzie & Josh were an LEP couple back in 2019! They are very near and dear to my heart. Like the whole Sims’s clan.
When McKenzie reached out to me wanting to take pictures with Josh and their pup. By this time, they have already added a SECOND pup to their family unit. I need to connivence them to do another session soon… Sorry not sorry Josh..
I met Stephanie & Michael about 3 weeks before their big day and I just KNEW their wedding day was going to be something amazing. When we got there I was BLOWN away by everything these two did for their wedding day. They built a greenhouse. They built ALL the tables too. I went a little insane with the detail photos. as per usual.
This was my first time at Meyers castle and it DID not disappoint. Gabby made sure to have ALL the details. We all know how much I live for wedding details.
Gabby & Jon did things a bit more traditional and opted out of a first look! What they did do is a sweet vow reading, back to back. It was THE sweetest. Yes first looks are so fun and it helps your tog move the day along better.. but these are sweet pictures. <3
I cant wait to come back to Meyers Castle for another wedding soon!
OH goodness. Look at this sweet little man!
I know covid ruined fresh 48’s but lifestyle newborn sessions are still a thing thankfully! <3 <3
Ill stop yapping. Heres those sweet pictures!
Okay, I LOVE family lifestyle sessions. It doesnt have to be cold for you to enjoy a cozy evening inside with the kiddos having a dance party and cuddling on the couch! Loved meeting this sweet family!
I went a little crazy with their blog post <3 But the kids are adorable.
I met Ali & Andrew in Chicago last January and we had a blast!!! I was so thankful that they hired me for their July wedding! Vintage Oak Barn is the best venue and I was so excited to get back!
I was there when it was super cold, and now I was there when it was SUPER hot. Gosh. I dont think I have stopped sweating yet.
Im so glad everything worked out with their plans and they still had the day they planned!!
This sun soaked family session was one of the best summer sessions <3
Although little miss didnt smile so much, her parents were cute enough to make up for that! <3
This was one of my favorites! The sun was PERFECT!
