What an amazing evening with Alexis + Cade! We decided to take full advantage of the state park in Bluffton, Indiana and it sure did deliver. We explored all over and ended at the best location, THE BEACH! Make sure you scroll to the bottom because those were some of my favorite shots of the entire evening ❤️ These two become Mr. & Mrs. this August and I am thrilled to be a part of their special day. We originally were going to shoot earlier in the month but the weather said otherwise. I’m glad it did because this was a perfect evening to take engagement photos.

I can’t believe that in less than 2 months we finally get to meet this babe!! I am BEYOND excited to see some of my best friends become mom + dad, I know they will soar as parents ❤️ We weren’t scheduled to take photos until May 2nd BUT when Chelsey’s backyard became a flowering honey hole, we took action!! Just in time too, because when they got back from their baby-cation all the flower blooms were gone.

Thank you to you both for having me capture these and especially to Chelsey for always being a constant support for me and my photography. She is always sharing content and boasting about my photos, I couldn’t ask for a better friend. I am so excited to watch you two grow as parents and meet your little one very soon ❤️

What an adorable session with the Froning family ❤️ They brought me to a family cabin and let me tell you, I wish I had something like this in my backyard!! It was a photographer’s honey hole. Between the tall grass, wildflowers, cabin, and flowering trees… I could have stayed there forever!!! Thank you so much to all of you for the continuous support towards my small business and I can’t wait to see little Charlie for her 1 year session (you can find their maternity session + newborn session further back on my blog).

I hope you all enjoy a small peek into such a fun session.

Mommy + Me Minis were HUGE hit this year ❤️ I wanted to give Parlor Studio in Bluffton, Indiana a big thank you for hosting and another big thank you to Mazies Flowers for the floral installation. I wanted to highlight a few images from each mini because they were SO GOOD! If you didn’t get a chance to book with me for these minis make sure you check out my social pages because I have another round of mini-sessions in May at Ouabache State Park in Bluffton, Indiana! I would love to have you a part of them.

Thank you again to all the families that came out and made these amazing. I can’t thank you all enough for all the support as a small business owner.

What a great Friday it’s been so far!! I have delivered two sessions, blogged two sessions, and have several sneak peeks on the way. I’m so happy you’re here because I am obsessed with Gwen’s newborn photos and I want everyone to see them. Acacia + Jim have done some renovating on their home since the last time I was there and let me tell you, their master bedroom is SO CUTE! The paint color (Urban Bronze) is going to be making it into my utility room.

Gwen was a rockstar for this session but her big bro Atlas wasn’t quite sure about it. You would never know by these photos 🥰 we pulled through and had an amazing session. Thank you again Acacia + Jim for the continuous support you’ve given my photography business. It’s been so fun watching your family grow and can’t wait until next time ❤️

I have gotten to know Tami through my position at Nora Gray Boutique in Berne, Indiana but, I’ve always known the family because well, we’re from a small town. Everyone knows everyone ❤️ The kids reached out before Christmas last year and wanted to gift their mom & dad a family session since it’s been since the girls were babies that last time they took a group shot of everyone. I’m so glad they did because I adore how these turned out. Their son Logan has been renovating an old mill in Linn Grove and it made the best backdrop for us. Thank you to all of you for being so kind and open to ideas. I hope you have me back next time you need some photo updating!

Sheldon & Claire’s April wedding was stunning! The entire week we had rain.. and I mean LOTS of rain but as soon as Saturday morning rolled around it was sunny and beautiful all day. We met at the fairgrounds in Portland, Indiana, and explored the property in search of the best spot for us, then I spotted the flowering trees and knew that’s where we needed to go. Thank you so much for having me spend such a special day with you both and I just hit send on your gallery last night!!

The spotlight event of the evening was definitely the introductions at the reception when one power-wheel car lost control and knocked an entire table down! Small hiccup but it left everyone with a good laugh for the evening! When I left everyone was having a great evening on the dance floor ❤️

We had a gorgeous evening (with a little wind 💨) this past weekend in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Carston & Madison are saying their “I do’s” this July and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be the one to get to capture their special day, especially after having such an amazing engagement session. We met downtown at the courthouse and wandered our way through some of the side streets of Fort Wayne making sure we found some of the cutest nooks + crannies, really anywhere to escape that wind. We ended up on top of the cutest parking garage with a stunning sunset & a bottle of champagne that ended up more on them than drank!

What a cute session I had with these two! Rosemary reached out and wanted to do something special to announce that she and Brennen are expecting so of course, we made that happen. When Rosemary sent me her Pinterest board of “inspiration” I got the vibe she wanted a dreamy storytelling vibe so we mixed in those trendy shots with some blur to help give it that feeling. My favorite shot is at the end, it’s just of Rosemary’s bump and my lens just happened to fog up on me and it created a gorgeous image. Make sure you scroll to the bottom to see that one ❤️

Lauren & Luke’s wedding day was a day I was so thankful to photograph. SO MUCH LOVE was shared on this day not just between Lauren & Luke but everyone. It was a honor to photograph such meaningful vows, first looks and just an entire wedding day full of love. They were married at The White Rose in Preble, Indiana ❤️ and it was absolutely stunning! I especially loved the velvet touches!

HOW IS IT ALREADY APRIL 😱 2024 has already been flying by!!

It’s wedding week for these two and I am BEYOND excited to get behind the camera again for my first wedding of the season! This past fall I got together with Claire, Sheldon and their kiddos for an engagement/family session, looking back at these makes me miss fall colors + tones SO much but I am beyond excited to start getting more growth outside here in Indiana.

Thank you to you both for having me capture such important moments and I can’t wait to kick off my 2024 wedding season with you both this weekend ❤️ see you soon!!

Alyssa’s maternity session was so darn perfect and it felt SO good to be back outside with a sunset ❤️ I think I have shared almost every photo from her session in this blog post because honestly, I couldn’t choose!! What a good problem to have, right?! Thank you Alyssa for trusting me the whole way and letting me create the visions I had inside my head and for being such a great sport even when in reality it’s March in Indiana.. it was not warm so make sure to give this girl a round of applause 👏
