Alarie & Pete - Valparaiso, Indiana - Wedding

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.

Ashley & Jim - Four Corners Winery, Valparaiso, Indiana - Wedding

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

Alli & Jeff - Illinois - Wedding

Alli & Jeff got to celebrate FINALLY with all their friends and family in May. I know they had one hack of a time trying to make sure they could have everyone they wanted there. Between venue changes, and everything else, they settled on a backyard reception. It was AMAZING. At one point, Jeff’s dad even said he wanted the party to be so loud and crazy that the cops got called. 27E sure did try and bring the house down.
It was just a fun day, filled with their friends and families love. It was truly evident in all aspects of their day.

Lennon - Lifestyle Newborn

Megan & Trevor are some of the sweetest people I have ever met. Rewind back to like 2019(?) I think. They booked a Christmas mini with me. We had such a fun time and I loved getting to know them. I was so excited when Megan contacted me to photograph their sweet new girl Lennon. When Megan said she wanted to incorporate her wedding dress I was SO excited. This was hands down one of my favorite sessions and I hope I get to see them again here soon!

Asher - Lifestyle Newborn

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!

Polivka Family

I loveeeee these guys. Its been amazing to see them almost every year for the last couple of years!
Their sweet family just keeps growing! This takes me back to amazing weather and beautiful fall sunsets.
I miss it… as its 25 degrees and there is snow on the ground.
Yes. im THAT behind in blogging
Looking forward to seeing these guys again soon. They are all fun, games, and laughs.

McKenzie & Josh - One Year Session

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..

Henning Family

Have you ever taken family photos at a mum farm? If you haven’t you need to! Its a must in life.
I love sessions where people incorporate places that mean the most to them. The Hennings own this mum farm, and it has grown to be a beautiful family business! It was awesome to see first hand what they do!
This makes top ten favorite extended family sessions by far!

Blythe Family - Beach Session

This family right here is my FAVE. I have been seeing them for a few years now, and their sessions are always my favorite! <3
Rachel wanted a beach session, so we made it happen. I just cant believe how big these kiddos are getting.
Just LOVED this session.

Jonah - Smash Cake

Hands down… favorite smash cake. 2020 has been a crappy year but its really pushed my creativity and set the bar high for awesome sessions like this! Jessica & Adam were a past couple of mine and already are celebrating this little chunks first birthday! This sweet baseball themed smash cake was SO fun.
It started to rain about 10 mixtures before we were done with the session, but the sky did some pretty cool things afterward.

Hannah & Cameren - LaPorte Indiana - Wedding

Hannah & Cameren were two people I clicked with right away at our consult last year.
My father in law works with Cameren and told me he’s not much of a talker… well, at our meeting he talked up a storm…. You could tell that he just adores Hannah, and WHO WOULDNT? I mean by the end of our first meeting I could see myself becoming GOOD friends with Hannah. Hannah is the sweetest soul, and these two were just made for each other.
Hannah & Cameren both said no matter what happened with COVID, they would get married and they SURE did. They told me a little secret before their day, and I was so excited they were able to announce it with these photos! :)
I can not wait to see these two again soon. They are my favorite people. <3

Finnegan - Lifestyle Newborn

I am still behind.. with everything in life.. but Finnegan’s lifestyle newborn session was TOO sweet to not post about!
For the first few minutes of the session, I literally thought he was scared of me.. and I think he was! But as the session moved on he got used to me :)

Kearney Family

I was so excited for this session back in June! I swear they are just the sweetest family ever. Their two boys are so smiley and we had NO shortages in smiles.
This was a nice way to kick off outdoor sessions for sure! <3

Rodriguez Family

I am behind. behind. behind. on blogging. I thought 2020 was going to be different year… I think we all thought that really.. but here I am. Just a few months behind :)

I am sure glad I got to see this family again! I mean it had been a hot minute since seeing them for their Christmas mini like last year??

I just loved this newborn session.. <3

Gavin - Lifestyle Newborn Session

This was my second lifestyle newborn session after quarantine, and it was just a breath of fresh air…
It was great to catch up with Sean and meet Katie & Gavin for the first time!
Sweet little Gavin was not having it for the first half of the session but after some food and rocking he was asleep and good to go for the last half!
I truly love lifestyle newborn sessions. Its just so nice to be in a clients home and be where they feel most comfortable.

Emily & Penelope - Greenhouse Mini

I had to WORK for Penelope to even crack a smile my way. Which I get, its been a weird time. I was probably the first person shes seen besides family in weeks. But MAN once we got her smiling she didnt stop!

Her favorite thing was to run down the aisles and smell the flowers. I have said it once, and ill say it again. I will be doing these next year… they were so fun and all of them turned out so beautiful!

Kominakis Family - Maternity

I never thought that my first session back after the world pretty much stopped… would be so. so. SO good. I legit sat in my car and cried after. You truly don’t know how much you miss what you truly love to do, until you cant do it.
The few weeks of not working was rough. I was SO excited that we were able to get this session in. It felt amazing to create art again. And I LOVE this family. LOVE them.
The sun was beautiful, the weather was great. It literally was a perfect way to kick start working again. I have been busy ever since and im grateful. <3

Mothers Day Mini's - Added Day!

I had my first round of mothers day minis at Johnsons Farm Thursday & Friday!
I forgot how much I missed shooting and how much I love flowers and plants…

This was so fun! I want to open up another day of minis! Like 2-4 sessions in the next couple of weeks!

Kelly & Nathan - Engagement Session

My last session of 2019 ended on a high note. LOOK AT THESE TWO! I am so excited to see these two again in just a few short months. They are so easy to work with!
Im letting these images talk for themselves. - Oh and I loved black and white.

Karessa & Austin - The Red Barn Experience - LaPorte, Indiana

The forecast said it was going to rain all day during Karessa & Austin’s wedding day. It drizzled in the morning, then again in the afternoon, then quit! It was perfect! Perfect day for a perfect couple! I was looking forward to their wedding, because their engagement session was so fun and they were naturals in front of the camera.

We pulled them out for golden hour, we waited, and waited for the sun to pop under the clouds and it just took forever. SO we walked back to the dance floor, about to start their first dance, when Austin ran back and said “the sun came back out! We should go now!” - and boy. was it worth it…

Their day was filled with good luck rain, love, and beer. Best day ever!
