closeTammy and I met through her sister and my good friend. I was able to photograph their family years ago when their kids were young, but she was in need of an updated family photo. A mini session was the perfect choice for them! Photographing big kids is amazing, they are sweet, kind and really easy to get smiling!
If your big or little kids are in need of updated photos, I would love to connect!
I have know Rachel for years and back when she was in high school even did her senior photos! When she got engaged to Jared, I not only did their engagement session but their Illinois wedding!
Two years ago, sweet Naomi was born and I met this Indiana family in Wisconsin to do family photos and newborn photos of Naomi.
Last summer their family came up and we celebrated Naomi’s first birthday.
We celebrated and this year, Rachel and Jared welcomed sweet Wrigley into their family!
It is SUCH a privilege and joy to watch families grow through the years and it make my life even richer to be considered to document each age and stage of it. Can’t wait to see you again sweet Nassiff family!
It is always a gift to see Sarah and her family. When she asked if we could get in an extended family photo of her husband’s side and that they hadn’t had one since the era of Olan Mills, I was thrilled to be doing one for them!
Having all the girls together and be so kind to one another made me see how much they loved being together and being around one another!
I love being able to do these sessions for families! If you are looking for an updated family photo, I would love to connect!
So I’m back at it! Every Monday I will be posting sneaks from the past week here and on my Facebook page!

I am always fascinated on how clients get my name. Elizabeth and one of my other clients work together and she happened to see the photos that I took on cher co-worker’s desk. From there she asked about me, and we got a date on the calendar.
Sweet little Wes arrived a bit early, but was healthy. It was great connecting with Elizabeth and hearing all about Wes and his big sister.
Their session was so laid back and they were all so easy going. What a gift it is to continually see and meet sweet clients like the Lee’s. I hope to see them again in the future!
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
