Josh and Emily

January 31, 2023 0 Photography, Uncategorized

Josh and Emily were so sweet and so fun! They met me at my favorite childhood hiking spot, in Southern Illinois, for a post wedding photo session. This day was a dream come true for me! For years I’ve wanted to do a session at the spot but it just never worked out! I’m thankful for Emily and Josh who braved the cold January day. It ended up being super cloudy and super windy but we still got some epic portraits…I guess we all had a dream come true! was so soooo pleased with all of the portraits from this session! Emilys veil made for some excitement in the wind but gave us some beautiful portraits! It was a fun adventure and %100 worth the cold!!

I had such a blast with Nick and Kylee! They are such a sweet and fun couple! They brought along their dogs to their engagement session and we had a time of trying to get them to stay still 😂 But we got some beautiful images and I’m excited to share this entire gallery! This was my favorite gallery from our farm so far!

Chris + Grace ~Engament Session

Loved getting to be a part of capturing special memories for Chris and Grace! Grace and I had talked a little bit over text before the session and we realized that we had met before. So I showed up to the session we chatted a little but and then later on I had several random memories of us having been in the same place at the same time, on several different occasions. Needless to say, I was a little late on clueing in 😉

Chris and Grace were a lot of fun and once they got warmed up they were killing it! I always love getting to watch couple interact and have fun together at a session!

This post is a reminder to go on an adventure! Don’t be afraid to go somewhere you’ve never gone before or blaze a new trail through the woods. There’s always fun to be found and memories to be made on new adventures! 

“The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can” –J.R.R. Tolkien

“Still round the corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate, and though I oft have passed them by, a day will come at last when I shall take the hidden paths that run west of the moon, east of the sun.”

“The World Is Not In Your Books And Maps, It Is Out There” – J.R.R Tolkien
