It’s been a couple weeks ago now that I was asked to come to the LSA Graduation to document the event! I’ll be honest – having never been to a LSA Graduation before and knowing the graduating class only had about 24 students I was expecting it to be a pretty small affair. I was …

Memorial Day – House Update
As it is Memorial Day weekend, Ryan has the day off and (surprisingly) so do I. So we’re spending the day of thanks and appreciation for military men and women working on insurance paperwork for the house. Yes… the house fire may have been over 7 months ago, but we’re still in the process of …
Phil & Kristi’s Wedding | Allerton Park, Monticello, IL | Wedding Photography
You may remember this gorgeous couple from their engagement session last year in May, and I had been looking forward to Phil & Kristi’s wedding day ever since! I just adore these two! They are such a sweet couple, and you’d have a hard time finding two people more head-over-heels for each other than these …
Rachel & Dylan | Charleston, IL | Family Photography
Well it’s now been over two months since I got to take pictures of Rachel and Dylan. I was lucky enough to do senior photos for miss Rachel… goodness! I think it’s been three years ago now! So I was super excited when Rachel messaged to ask me about doing some pictures of her and …
A Wedding, Some Insight, and a Pair of Heels
This past Saturday was a wonderful day! For the first time in a very long while Ryan and I attended a wedding. That’s right – we attended one and it was such a blast! I’ll be honest it was hard to keep my camera in it’s bag. Ryan actually refused to let me take it …

Love and Words for Mother’s Day
As I’m sure you are all aware – yesterday was Mother’s Day. Like many other son’s and daughter’s, we scheduled our day around visiting with Ryan’s mom and my mom. I consider myself very blessed to have such a wonderful mother! When I was growing up, I was a brainiac (always had my nose in …
2012 LSA Prom | Mt. Zion Lions Club | Event Photography
Well I’ve finally gotten all the Prom and Post Prom photos edited and ready and I’m so excited to share them with you! This was my first Prom ever – so I’ll admit – I was more than a wee bit nervous. I spent Friday helping set up the Mt. Zion Lions Club for the …
Seth & Alanna’s Engagement | Allerton Park, Monticello, IL | Engagement Photography
I was so excited when Alanna messaged me and asked me about doing engagement pictures for her and Seth! I took Alanna’s senior photos just a few years ago when I was still really new to the photography business so you can imagine how excited I am to be doing her engagement photos! It makes …
