I'm a coffee loving, travel-obsessed, twenty-something based out of Central Illinois. I'm lucky enough to make a living doing what I love - photographing people! I specialize in weddings (destination + local), senior portraits, + boudoir.
Laura came to me not too many months ago when planning their wedding. She and Billy had been engaged but were at the time preparing to welcome a little girl into their family, so had been a bit preoccupied. I met with Laura at Starbucks to go over all of the wedding day details, and she brought along four-week-old little Lainey and was in awe! Laura and I hit it off and discussed all sorts of things from wedding plans to mom tips, I really feel that I have found a friend in her! As is typical with most engagement sessions, I go in knowing the bride (or at least have more contact with her) than the groom, and so I am always pleased to put a face with the name, and in this case, match a face to all of the great things Laura had told me about Billy! They’re both awesome people which made their engagement session feel more like hanging with friends than work. As an added bonus for me, they brought along little miss Lainey for a few photos!
This fall has been tricky with the weather and colors coming and going so much, so we held our breath and crossed our fingers for their session. Luckily, Lake of the Woods has plenty of area to roam for spots, so we found some good stuff. Laura and Billy didn’t want the traditional botanical garden shots, which was a relief for me (they’re great, don’t get me wrong!) since it pushed me out of my box to find new spots and the results were great. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding later this month at the wonderful Pear Tree Estate, it’s going to be so much fun!
