Jenna + Rex ~ Kuttawa, Kentucky

May 28, 2024 0 Photography, Uncategorized

At the beginning of this year I bought a vintage boat. Let’s just say I was SUPER excited about it! I’ve dreamed for years of having a cool boat to use for a couples photo session and now I finally had it, but then it was winter and cold and all the trees were dead 😂 (not ideal for a beautiful boat session) I pulled the boat out once in the winter and my nieces and sister almost got blown away in the wind, oops. So I waited and waited for spring and I finally got to do a few session with some sweet kids but I was still waiting for the perfect couple.

Two weeks ago I found the perfect couple and I finally got to do this dreamy session! Looking through the gallery for me feels magical and dreamy like a scene in a movie. Needless to say, I can’t wait to pull the boat out again for a session. Kuttawa Ky, was the perfect little lakeside town to do this dreamy session in, I can’t wait to go back!

As always, thanks for tagging along!

Josh and Emily

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!!

Thanks for tagging along!

Brent + Laken ~Vow Renewal

September 19, 2022 0 Uncategorized

Wow this was a beautiful day! Celebrating 10 years of God’s faithfulness and restoration in their marriage, Brent and Laken renewed their vows on September 8th, 2022! Ten years ago they received Polaroids as the only way their day had been captured. I was so honored to get to capture this special day, which was even sweeter then the first one in a lot of ways! I am so excited to share with them the wedding gallery that they never had! Brent and Laken are both now followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and they honored Him so well as they renewed their vows and shared their story of God’s faithfulness in their lives, individually, and as a couple! It really was so special to be a part of this day for Brent and Laken! God is so so kind!

I’m forever thankful for these sweet friends and their testimony to God’s grace and lovingkindness!

Thanks for tagging along!

Remi~ Portrait Session

This was magical!

I remember when I was a child and how I saw so much wonder I the world. Just “normal” every day sort of things are magical to kids…but then we grow up, get busy, and we forget what it’s like to see the wonder in the world!

The amazing things we used to be shocked at become boring, normal, or just completely ignored because they are things we see every day. I want to help people reboot their eyes to see the wonder of the everyday things! Something I’ve grown to love so much about what I do, is getting to get people to see things differently…showing them the beauty of light reflecting on the water, or of light filtering through golden leaves, being able to show the beauty of life in every season!

All of creation shouts the praises of God! Each individual created thing shows a different aspect of God’s creative hand that it is always singing praises of. Just open your eyes, step outside and watch the everyday miracles that surround you!

Thanks again for tagging along!
