Welcome to the blog...

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…

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…

Gosh, it’s been cold here! I just opened up my spring and summer 2024 calendar, so I’m already getting excited for warmer weather so I can start shooting outside again. During these coldest days of winter so far, spring and summer still feel a long way off. But my booking calendar always keeps me thinking months ahead! Although it’s only the second week of class…

I recently had the incredible opportunity to shoot a branding session for the talented vacation planner and travel blogger extraordinaire, Devyn! From brainstorming travel itineraries to crafting unforgettable experiences, Devyn’s passion is planning epic getaways and finding hidden local gems. And she definitely knows what she’s doing! How do I know? Because Devyn travels 100% of the time! Can you imagine?!?! As someone who has…

Nina’s spring Purdue graduation photo session could not have fallen on a better day in mid-April! The Bradford Pear trees were in full bloom, you know those stinky ones, but gosh we captured so much glowy golden-hour goodness and I’m just obsessed with her session! Considering Purdue grad photos this year? Reach out today!…

“Say Cheese” We’ve all said it before as we attempt to get a somewhat decent photo of our kiddos and yet it usually results in a half-hearted or fake smile. Telling your kids to “smile at the camera” just doesn’t cut it when we are after those natural smiles! From experience, this approach hardly ever works and I rarely ask kids to smile during a…

I could not have asked for a better wedding to begin the 2020 season than Lindsey and Jordan’s gorgeous jewel toned, antique and vintage inspired wedding at the A-Frame at Ross Camp in West Lafayette, Indiana.…

This would be perfect for children 6 months (sitting) and older. Date: Saturday April 4th afternoon 1-6pm (rain date Sunday April 5th or following weekdays if it’s a rainout kinda weekend).

I had the complete honor and privilege of experiencing and capturing Sarah Gotlund’s labor and delivery of her and her husband Steven Willis’ beautiful son Simon Airet on February 28th! Simon came at 4:07pm weighing 9 pounds, 6 ounces and 22 inches long in Lafayette, Indiana at IU Health Arnett. Sarah was assisted by student doula Kendra Boller and the midwife staff at IU Health…
