Colorado has some stunning locations for photos, but Cyrena and Jim helped me explore Grand Mesa for their fall engagement session and it couldn’t have been more perfect. They even found this spot where the sun sets and literally makes the whole ridge glow.
Read MoreEven though we had to keep pushing back the date due to COVID and park openings, Jaime and Josh had the sweetest engagement session around Percy Warner Park in Nashville, Tennessee. The park provided a great glimpse into the rolling hills and scenery that Tennessee has. These two are just completely head over heels with each other and you can instantly tell when you’re with them.
Read MoreNatalie and Scott fulfilled one of my dream engagement sessions up in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. We got to explore the vast portion of Daniel Boone National Forest, being refreshed in a waterfall and then watching the sunset to end the day.
Read MoreMegan and Travis conquered the heat of the summer with a beautiful sunset engagement session out at Jefferson Memorial Forest outside of Louisville, Kentucky. The summer brought its best heat wave, so we opted for some shade for photos. However, instead of keeping us cool, the forest trapped all the heat and left no breeze for us to cool down with.
Read MoreGetting to explore Louisville's Nulu area for this engagement session was a blast, especially since we included places like Akasha Brewing Company and the Louisville Waterfront Park!
Read MoreDecember proved to be a great time to do engagement photos of Ally and Jeremy at Radner Lake in Nashville, Tennessee. Being from Chicago, December always sounds extra cold to me, but this day had great weather so we didn’t feel crazy uncomfortable.
Read MoreAnother early October engagement session in Bernheim Forest Kentucky followed by a beer at Gravely Brewery was perfect! I love pairing what couples love to do together, and Alyssa and Patrick love to be on the go as well as a healthy balance of taking in the now.
Read MoreBernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in Clermont, Kentucky offers such a wide variety of scenic locations, which made it great for Sarah and Ben’s engagement session. We headed out there early October, so right on the cusp of Fall coming to turn this location into a glowing gem.
Read MoreTyler is not only my cousin, but is more of a brother - and to see him transform into the man he is with a soul that is so happy, makes me so proud. I had the great honor of getting to capture the moment he dropped to one knee and asked the woman he loved to marry him. Kayla is the sweetest girl I’ve ever met, and I think they are absolutely perfect for one another.
Read MoreI have had the great honor of knowing Kyle for years now. Kyle and my brother have been great friends and I actually consider Kyle another brother of mine. And, like a brother of mine, I couldn’t contain my excitement that he found the one his soul had been searching for.
Read MoreMikey and Jeff met the modern way - they met online. But even still, their relationship grew with their love of gardening and enjoying time out with friends and cocktails. In fact, their favorite date together was when they went to an open house at a floral shop!
Read MoreThis engagement session was so precious. Bridget and Adam came to me last fall about wedding photography, and I was anxiously awaiting this engagement session. The weather decided to hold off on the rain and gave us warm weather. These two were troopers for hiking through Cherokee Park with me (Bridget in wedges!), but I had a blast and the photos just show how happy they are.
Read MoreWhile I could blame it on the seasons changing, I’m going to give the warm weather credit to these two. Shandi and Stephen met in New Mexico and decided to move to Louisville, KY to continue their journey in their relationship together.
Read MoreEarly Saturday morning, Rowan, Colin and the rest of Louisville experience a white wash of snow on the ground. April shouldn’t bring snow! But, the warmth of their love (yes I made that super cheesy) warmed up the day, melted the snow, and turned into a perfect Spring day for an engagement session.
Read MoreI first got to really know Kayla when we went to Colorado together earlier this year. She is quiet, humble, beautiful and sweet, and once you get to know her a little, she’s hilarious, adventurous, and wonderful. There’s not one thing I could even fathom to be negative about her. And with Kayla dating my cousin Tyler (who’s more like another brother to me), I felt an instant connection with her.
Read MoreGrowing up, my cousin and I lived across the street from each other. Days were filled with adventures in the farm fields around the house and nights were spent “attempting” Morse code with flashlights from our bedroom windows across the street.
Read MoreThis particular engagement means so much to me because my little brother asked me to document him proposing to his beautiful and wonderful girlfriend.
I planned a weekend (that Brent set up) to visit both Brent and Carissa in Colorado. The plan for Saturday was to all go on a hike together when Brent had something "come up" - so Carissa and I just went by ourselves. I told her I wanted to take pictures so she should dress cute as my model.
Read MoreOne of the best parts of my job is getting to know people better in order to capture them correctly. I met Megan back in 2009 when we both began our Undergraduate studies at Millikin University in the Vocal Performance program. Growing alongside of her, I can only say good, if not excellent, things about her. Her kind and open-hearted spirit welcomes anyone to share in her joy for life. It’s amazing what beauty can set free.
