Three words to describe these two- caring, gentle, and kind. I just knew from the back and forth communication with Kelly that I was going to just adore them! In a questionnaire that I send my couples, one of the questions is to describe your relationship in one sentence and they put “our relationship is caring for one another all the time”. When I finally got the chance to meet them at their engagement session, I could feel the […]

Alexa and Nick met through mutual friends and knew each other for a while before officially becoming a couple! With roses, a plane ticket to California where Nick was living at the time, he asked Alexa to be his girlfriend on their first date! Of course, she said yes! A few years later, she would be saying that exact phrase to him on what she thought was a “Mother’s Day getaway” weekend in Florida and he asked her to […]

These two have such a fun story and I love it so much! They actually met while on spring break at Panama City Beach years ago!

Okay, for anyone who asks if dogs are allowed at engagement sessions, YAS YAS YAAAASS! Being a fellow pup mom myself (and goodness gracious I love my Zo Zo with all my heart!) , I just love when couples want to incorporate their fur babies in these photos because they are such a big part of your family! Engagement sessions are such a special thing to experience and celebrate because you only get to do these once, so if you are thinking of […]
Read moreKristin & Victor | Goodenow Grove Fall Engagement Session
Victor proposed to Kristin while on a hike, right by the lake, and when she told me that she wanted an outdoorsy, woodsy location for their engagement session, I knew just the place that would be perfect! It wasn’t the exact place where they got engaged, but it is very similar in looks! Bonus points, Goodenow Grove is one of my favorite places on the planet, for so many reasons! So I felt right at home shooting here! They also requested that they wanted some color in the leaves when we did their session and […]
Read moreEmma & Andrew | Cozy Olivet Nazarene University Fall Engagement Session
I love coming to the Olivet Nazarene University for so many reasons, one of them being the gorgeous stairway and columns on this building. It looks like a private estate you would find in the south! (ohhh my heart, I love the south!) There are so many great locations besides this building that gives you that garden feel too! Whenever my couples choose to […]
Read moreMarissa & Javier | Golden Hour Naperville Riverwalk Engagement Session
Ohhh Marissa and Javier! I don’t even know where to start with these two. We officially met a few months before their engagement session over coffee and to get to know each other and there was one thing for sure that stuck out to me about them. They just have the sweetest and most gentle hearts. The way they would […]

You know that saying, “when you know, you just know” ? That is the case for these two! They met online and it didn’t take them long to realize that who they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with, was in fact right in front of them! They got engaged 9 months after becoming official and Ethan couldn’t have pulled off a more perfect proposal that every girl only dreams of! On Alyssa’s birthday, at […]
