The One I'd Print. 🤍

Not every photograph that matters has to show a face.
Sometimes it's the little things that tell the whole story.

The way someone held your hand.
The hands that raised you.
The people who were there beside you.

We take the big pictures because we think those are the ones we're supposed to take.

But years from now, sometimes it's a photograph like this that becomes the one you can't replace.

This is the one I'd print.

🎄 TREE FARM MINIS ARE BACK! 🎄
One of my favorite session days of the year is officially on the calendar! 🤍

Saturday, November 7 at Cassens Tree Farm

Tree Farm Minis are perfect for updated family photos, Christmas cards, gifts for grandparents, or simply capturing your family exactly as they are right now. Because somehow these kids just keep getting bigger every year. 🥹

This year I'm also including a custom digital holiday card with every session because getting your Christmas pictures AND your card checked off the list at the same time sounds pretty good to me. 😂

$225
15-minute session
20 professionally edited digital images
Custom digital holiday card included

Sessions are limited and will be booked in the afternoon.

🎄 Christmas in July clients: This is for you too! Use the same booking link to choose your Tree Farm time. Your Christmas in July pricing will be honored, and if you only paid your retainer, your remaining balance is due October 31. 🤍

I want to photograph more weddings. 🤍

I’ve photographed weddings before, and lately I’ve been thinking about how much I’d love to get back into doing more of them.

Not just for the beautiful portraits, dresses and details, but for moments like this.

The first dance. Mom helping with the dress. Dad seeing you for the first time. Grandma on the dance floor. All those little moments happening around you that you don’t always get to see on your wedding day.

That’s what I want to capture.

So I’m officially putting it out there: I want more weddings on my 2027 calendar.

If you’re planning a wedding in Central Illinois, I’d love to hear about it. 🤍

Where are my 2027 brides getting married?

How many pictures do you have sitting on your phone that you love but never actually do anything with?

I’m thinking about offering a personalized family calendar service for 2027.

You would send me your favorite everyday pictures, selfies and special memories, along with birthdays, anniversaries and important dates. I would turn everything into a personalized family calendar you can enjoy all year.

These would also make meaningful Christmas gifts for grandparents and other family members who already have everything but would love a year filled with family memories.

No sorting through complicated websites. No trying to design every page yourself. You send me the memories and dates, and I take care of the creative part.

Would this be something you would actually want for yourself or as a Christmas gift?

Comment CALENDAR or send me a message. I’m trying to gauge interest before officially offering it!

One day, they will be too big to swing between your hands.

The little smiles, the way they reach for you, and the ordinary moments that do not feel ordinary until they are gone.

Your children will have plenty of photos from their childhood. Make sure they have photos with you in them too. 🤍

Someday, these will be the photos you wish you could step back into.

The way you looked at each other. The way it felt to be together. This season of your life that will never look exactly like this again.

Fall mini sessions are not just for families with little ones. They are also perfect for couples, engagements, anniversaries, or simply celebrating the life you are building together.

Sessions are available October 17 at Washington Park and Lincoln’s New Salem.

There are some things we never think to save...
We save school papers.
We save family recipes.
We save photographs.

But we rarely think to save the voices of the people we love.
One day, the stories your grandparents tell today will become the stories your children tell tomorrow.

That's why I created Legacy Sessions.

A chance to slow down, spend time together, capture beautiful portraits, and preserve the conversations, laughter, and love that make your family unique.

🍂 Grandparents Day Weekend
📍 Lincoln's New Salem
📅 Saturday, September 12

Your session includes:
📸 A 20-minute photography session
🖼️ A professionally edited online gallery of your images to download, print, and share.
🎙️ Legacy Interview where I'll ask grandparents, parents, and children meaningful questions that capture their personalities, stories, and love for one another.
🎥 A cinematic Legacy Film that combines your photographs with your family's voices, laughter, and conversations into a keepsake you'll treasure for years.

Whether it's hearing Grandpa tell a favorite story, Grandma's laugh, or your child's little voice talking about the people they love...those are the memories that become priceless.

✨ Introductory Rate: $175
📸 Only 4 sessions available.

If you've ever wished you could hear someone's voice just one more time, you'll understand why this means so much to me.
