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!

The Latest
Anna~ Senior Session
The Taylor ~ Family Session
What a perfect spring day this was! I love to watch kids having fun playing outside while I get take pictures! There’s nothing like those genuine, candid moments. The trees around our pond were just in the beginning of blooming. You can see the hint of that spring glow in the trees!
Doing sessions like this is a dream come true for me! I LOVE that I get to capture these special family moments forever and ever! These little kiddos will grow up someday and they’ll be showing these pictures to their kids and grandkids and I think that is just so special, amazing and beautiful. I mean I get to capture the unique lives of people and their families…FOREVER 😍
Thanks for Taggin’ 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!

Olivia~ Senior Portrait Session
I absolutely loved this senior session! Olivia is stunning and she made my job easy! Loved getting to know her and capture this exciting season of her life! 😊
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!
Thanks for tagging along!

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!
