Hadlee sent me her Pintrest inspo board and I knew our farm would be a perfect fit for what she was looking for! Hadlee and I had met a few times before but we had such a fun time during her hour long session. She said after our session, “it was exactly what I wanted it to be!” And that’s always my favorite thing to hear!

Hadlee ~ Senior Portrait Session
Ellie, Laken and Pistol
Our pear trees were in full bloom and our back field was still golden from the winter. Laken texted me and asked if she could bring her horse for some photos with her daughter before the blooms fell off the trees and I am SO glad she did. The beautiful bloom and the jet black horse were perfection.
I love how we went from a princess session or a cowgirl session with just an outfit change. Ellie loves horses just like her momma and it was impressive how well she controlled that giant horse.
All in all in was a perfect evening. The best kind of spring weather, the best kind of blooms, the best kind of glow and the best models.

Anna~ Senior Session
It’s been a minute since I’ve posted on here…as is typical with me I’ve been having technical difficulties… I know it’s shocking 😂
This senior session was so fun! Anna came out to my farm and we explored the fields and ponds. I thought we much get rained on but it ended up being a perfect spring day! It feel like we have the best of all worlds on our property, fields, ponds, woods, flowers. Anna said that it was her dream place to live, so she was perfectly at home and you could tell.
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!!

Nick + Kylee
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!

Havynn~ Downtown Portrait Session
I don’t do a lot of sessions downtown because I’m usually a trees and field kind of gal but Havynn is an artist, so we met downtown and I LOVE all the images!

Rebekah~ Portrait 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!

“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.”
