Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Oh baby Nina. You were the happiest baby I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Look at the smileeeees she gave me!!
These proud parents knocked it out of the park with their adorable lifestyle newborn session. Every time I turned around Nina was throwing a smile our way. Id say these new parents are super smitten..
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!
I was, EXCITED AS EVER, to meet baby Holden. I will just let these adorable baby photos speak for themselves. <3
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!
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
Its been a hot minute since I have seen this adorable family! Since, they have added a new addition!
They were my first beach session of the season <3 I loved it so much!
The light was perfect. The family was perfect.
Oh. My. Gosh.
I am still in shock and awe of this woman. When I met Brooke, it was like I knew her forever. Capturing these images for her and Adam. Made my heart swell.
When she called me and told me she was going in that evening to get induced, to sit tight and be ready I was EXCITED. I was three days out from my wedding and just super excited to capture these memories.
Things went well for them that evening, I didnt sleep a wink. We had a pretty nasty storm go through that evening and I was hoping I wouldn’t have to drive through it LOL.
6am, Brooke text me and said they were going to get rolling, so I headed up to the hospital. It was a long day. They broke her water and we started things!
I cant even tell you how amazing this experience was. The images don’t do this process justice… If I could make this my full time gig I would. This was incredible. Its amazing what a woman body can do.
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

I don’t know HOW I ever forgot to blog this session!!! In February I went out to visit my sister Sarah and brother-in-law Matt. I was able to book a few sessions in Cali while on vacation!
Elaina and Casey are good friends with Sarah & Matt, we really enjoyed spending time with them and their adorable dog Harley!
I am SO excited because I get to travel to Philly for their wedding next June!! I cant wait to see them again! <3
Trish had a fantastic idea for Kaylyn’s 3rd birthday pictures! Wearing her mommy’s wedding dress! Like any little girl, playing dress up is the highlight of the day. K’s eyes LIT up when she saw her mom’s wedding dress. This was one of my favorite sessions with the Sim’s family!
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
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
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 ;)
F A I R S E S S I O N S - were a HIT last year. I cant tell you how many times people asked me if I was going to be doing them again this year. SO here they are! I have slots already spoken for so book soon!
$100 retainer & signed contract to hold your time slot.
Im addicted to puppies. We know this. Everyone knows this.
So is this a surprise that I swindled my way into my best friends home to take pictures of her brand new black lab puppy.
I am so in love with these. I need more of these in my life.
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.
I met Cortney and Dave in December for my Christmas mini sessions. Cortney then reached out for a fresh 48 AND lifestyle session. I was beyond thrilled. Seeing as I don’t get a lot of Fresh 48 sessions I was so excited. A week later, I was welcomed into their home for their lifestyle newborn session. I hope to see this beautiful family of 3 soon!
Northwest Indiana can be BITTERLY COLD in the winter months. What keeps me going? Lifestyle sessions. Family lifestyle sessions, couples lifestyle sessions, any kind of lifestyle sessions.
I loved getting to meet this beautiful family of four. We danced to 24K Magic, and Girls Like You. Jumped off the counter tops into dad’s arms, jumped and played on mom and dad’s bed, and snuggled in the living room with playdough. It was the best morning.
Lifestyle sessions are my favorite. <3
