Welcome to the blog...

For any outdoor session, the weather is ALWAYS a factor. I want my clients to have the best weather possible for their sessions. Sometimes that means rescheduling, but sometimes that means taking a risk to get something extraordinary. For the Brundidge family’s session last fall, Jennifer and I were texting back and forth practically every hour, leading up to the session, wondering if we should…

Honestly, I’m honored by every single senior who chooses me to help celebrate this incredible year in their lives. But, I’m especially honored when someone from 1.5 hrs away reaches out about booking a session with me for their senior photos! That was Ryane, a 2022 senior, I am featuring in this urban senior photos post! Last year, Ryane and her mom made the drive…

Maybe it’s because I just don’t love the cold and dreariness of winter, but I can’t stop going back to look the Isenbarger’s beach family photos at Indiana Dunes last year. (Although I was born in Minnesota, I think I might be a warm weather girl at heart!) This post is especially for my Midwest friends. But the beach is too far away… Have you…

I have some exciting but bittersweet news to share.  In August 2024, our family’s journey will be moving us to Greensboro, North Carolina! This announcement is SOOO bittersweet, considering the incredible memories we’ve made here in Indiana over the past 7.5 years.  Two of our 3 kids were born here.  Brian completed his PhD here.  We bought our first house here.  We started our photography…

Whenever life is hurtling obstacles my way, I’m typically a “just-watch-me-overcome-and-persevere” kind of person rather than a “it-must-be-a-sign-the-universe-is-trying-to-tell-me-something” kind of person. It’s probably stubborness! (Just ask my husband or parents…) So when I tell you it took three tries to get the Armentrout’s family photos at Indiana Dunes this past summer, you’ll understand that I was going to make these beach photos happen no matter…

I’m thrilled to share the joy and cuteness of this minimalist floral cake smash session to celebrate Fiadh’s recent first birthday! As a photographer who specializes in capturing priceless moments, let me tell you – cake smash sessions are the epitome of fun and frolic! I love these photos of Fiadh and her parents SOOO much, but can I be honest for a sec? Getting…

Guys, Mario’s senior session was my 4th session with the Brkaric family! They have honored me so much by booking me for two family sessions and then a senior session for each of their two boys—I did Mario’s older brother Gavin a couple of years ago. It truly is an honor when clients continue to come back to me for future sessions. So this is…

Statement outfits—outfits that really stand out or draw attention—are sneakily one of my favorite things about senior photos. Not all, but many of my seniors choose an outfit or piece for their senior photos that really stands outs in a way that “makes a statement” about who they are! The reason I love statement outfits so much is that are one of the major ways…

One my favorite things about taking senior photos is the artistic journey of uncovering and capturing the distinct personality of each senior. My goal is that their senior portraits authentically represent who they are. While I do get to know them a bit before our session, the real magic unfolds once my camera comes out. I work with all types of seniors and thrive on…
