I love that Rachel Garrett wanted to incorporate her love for drums into her session. She’s an incredibly talented drummer and plays for the band & show choir at Mt. Zion High School. Here are a few of my faves utilizing the drums or sticks! More pics from this session coming soon! 🥁

I’ve been so excited for Pyper Jones session. I got to photograph her sister a couple of years ago & I was thrilled when Pyper asked me to take her portraits, too. Pyper is truly a jewel. She loves Jesus and her light shines bright. She’s such a gift to those around her. God is going to use her in big ways. ❤️

Pics in a creek? Yes, please! 🥰
When I found out kaydence wilkinson wanted pics in a creek, I knew just where to go! This creek was a place my kids played, I took photos of my daughter here years ago, & knew it’d be great! By time we arrived the sun was really going down, but Kaydence’s mom helped hold my light to get these portraits. I’m obsessed! ❤️ More pics from this fun session coming soon!

Maddie. Mahomet-Seymour High school. Class of 2027.
I’ve been looking forward to this session for months! A couple of years ago I photographed Maddie’s family & I was so excited when she reached out for her senior session! She texted me her outfits and we came up with a game plan for locations. It was truly such a fun night walking around and getting to know her more in between picture spots. She’s incredibly photogenic and made my job easy! Maddie, I’m excited to see how God continues to write your story! ❤️

Krysten & Eric had a gorgeous wedding at Williams Farm just outside of Columbus, Ohio. One of my first memories of Krysten was meeting her at a women’s retreat I spoke at several years ago. While there she said that if she gets married, I’m who she wants to photograph her wedding. I was so honored when the call came after she was engaged & that she still wanted me all these years later. It was such an amazing day surrounded by friends and family. We battled some rain but she was still able to get her outdoor wedding at her beautiful venue that she envisioned.

Krysten & Eric, I’m forever grateful you asked me to be a part of this day! I can’t wait to see what God does through your marriage! ❤️

This session. ❤️ I’m going to have to break this one up into a few posts because there’s so much I love from it! These two are newly married and were so much fun to photograph!

Many of you know that I run a national photography conference called Reset | Photography Conference, Education & Community and on the last day of the conference are styled shoots that take place throughout the host city. I’m usually exhausted by this day from running the conference or I’m busy doing conference clean up, but this year I decided I wasn’t going to miss it! My sweet friend Bailey Hill - Midwest Wedding Photographer coordinated this styled shoot at the Dwell Hotel and I signed up to participate. I’m so glad I did! It’s so fun to step outside of your normal box and create in a new space! ❤️

I met up with Jessie Neilson at the Moweaqua Golf Course to grab a few golf photos before we headed out to capture her track portraits. I love that they chose to add on capturing these sports when they booked her senior session! It’s always so fun to photograph in new places and there’s nothing better than getting to capture people doing what they love! ❤️⛳️

I’m so excited for the upcoming 2027 senior season! Lots of fun new sessions are being booked and it’s going to be a special senior season!

Parker’s session this past fall was cold, windy, but full of perfect light and skies! We met up at his house and he rolled with my ideas for pics around his property. He also hand painted a mural that was so fun to incorporate! I love incorporating personal elements into sessions!

2027 seniors, it’s time to start booking your sessions! Dates will fill fast so don’t miss out! ❤️

Sam & Amanda ❤️
I’ve known Sam since he was in 8th grade and became one of my son’s best friends. Many nights have been spent hanging out in our home and hearing so much laughter from Mason, Sam & their friends. In high school he started dating Amanda & it’s been so sweet to watch their relationship grow. I was beyond honored to be asked to photograph their wedding next summer. We recently took their engagement photos and had such a great evening together (even if it was hot and humid! 🤪) I am looking forward to the wedding day & getting to photograph them again! ❤️
