Finally making a post this year 😅!

Ive been over here soaking up my family and our new little boy who joined us in March! It's bittersweet to see my maternity leave coming to an end, but im so excited to take on more sessions while we still have this beautiful weather. Going to kick off posting some recent work with my latest couple!

We ended Krista + Kenny's engagement session by watching the sun set in Oswego and it was unbelievably beautiful 😭 i must have said 100 times how i need to bring my family there to do the same thing 🤍

So excited to document their wedding day at Tailwater Lodge in November!

when your 2nd shooter sneaks photos of you setting up the details flat lay from this past weekend🤍 my hairs a little crazy & I don't love photos of myself - but these were such a nice little surprise. Idk where I will be at this time next year once our 2nd little bean arrives (oh yeah, im 21 weeks pregnant 🤭), but im SO grateful I get to do this 🤍

Where do I begin? Grace & TJs winter wedding at The Lookout at Greek Peak on Friday was honestly a dream. The vendors, the guests, the couple, and the FOOD were amazing. I love that they chose to do things exactly as they wanted, and it was so special to witness their effortless heartfelt exchanges throughout the day 🤍. I have also NEVER seen a dance floor that packed before 🙌. Thank you so much guys for choosing me to document it 😘

Finally sharing some work from the last few months 😅 - and starting it off with Emma's senior session ✨

Documenting this day was an absolute privilege, and choosing just 10 photos felt like an impossible task. Witnessing the family and friends of Erica and Ryan come together to support, love, laugh, cry, and PARTYYY with them was an experience I'll never forget. Grateful to have been apart of just a moment of their beautiful story! 🤍🤍

Loved this setting for Emily & her girls at the beautiful 💕

The landscape of is equally as beautiful as the inside 🫢❄️. These two wanted to brave the subzero temperatures to get a few photos outside, and literally made it look like it was FINE. 😂🔥 I'm so thankful though, because snowy photos are underrated 🫶

also, please look at how cute their pups are.

I left this session feeling so inspired & refreshed 🤍

Grace reached out that she wanted to do their engagement photos at , a spot that held meaning to her - which happened to be marked down as one of my "goal locations" to photograph at.

I was SO nervous because I really wanted to make the most of SUCH a beautiful location. It felt great to step back, get creative and try different ideas that I really hadn't done before. (it also made it so fun that TJ & Grace were down for whatever!)

really hoping to make it back there again soon 🫶

Bet ya didn't know that one of my favorite hobbies is collecting antiques and making them into beautiful wedding decor! ✨

Need a seating chart? Table numbers? Gold candle holders? Signs?

Ive been lucky enough to get to create some fun things for my closest friends, and I'd LOVE to do it more! Hit me up if you are interested! 😊

i feel like ive spent alot of time trying to find a scene like this 💛

Anyone remember that sunrise session I talked about on my stories a month ago? It was a pregnancy announcement 😭🥹💛 Megan and I were pregnant at the same time when I documented their announcement with Gianna - and I am SOO excited to watch their family grow again!
that morning foggy haze + changing colors as the sun came up -- was beauuuuutiful
