MY JOURNAL

Indianapolis is a special city for Tim + Nicha. After both graduating with a PhD in piano, it’s where they decided to start a life together. Little did they know they’d be working at the same place! We started at Monument Circle, just outside of the Hilbert Circle Theater, where both of them work for […]

For years Lyubov & Kaleb drove past many exits along Interstate 94 that made them want to experience the Indiana Dunes. Finally, they got their chance to explore it themselves for their engagement session! We met at Indiana Dunes State Park near the edge of Lake Michigan. Everything felt like a love story unfolding. As […]

As we entered Grand Mere State Park, Taylor was instantly taken back to some of her favorite childhood memories; she had lived a couple doors down from this location. As we journeyed down the forest corridor, light began to fill in every crevice between the trees. The sun seemed to light a path straight to […]

Abbie and Brian’s love for adventure and the outdoors inspired us to photograph their engagement in a beautiful, natural setting. We organized a scenic dune hike where they had sweet moments, laughter, and a romantic picnic. We also included their love for learning new card games, creating special memories as they enjoyed each other’s company […]

When Kari + Johnny first started dating they had a little photo shoot on this farm. Neither of them had been back since that moment so it was a special day being there again years later wandering around the farm & trails and petting the animals. You can truly feel their connection without words which […]

When Elena + Jordan were first scheduling their engagement session (+roadtrip to come see us), I realized it was right around the time the lupines would cover the dunes. We all held our breaths hoping it would return. A few days prior, we enjoyed a walk there for Mother’s Day and were elated to let […]

Brett + Alyssa came locked and loaded for their engagement session! This adventure started just as the sun rose on Thanksgiving morning; it was the only time that worked with their travels, move, and military life in general. These two have been through some things in life, but have found life is always better together. […]

The sun cast a golden hue on everything it touched that day. Cassidy & Brian’s love was on full display seeming to mimic the sunlight in its vastness. As we made our way closer to the lake, the gold color began to intensify all around us. The session wrapped up with Cassidy and Brian jumping […]

Katie & Evan met at a cookout and bonded over Katie’s pup, Java. At the time Evan was interested in getting a German Shepherd himself. He never had to though because he and Katie fell in love, and now they’re getting married. A normal evening for these two may very well include crafting a beautiful […]

The day started with a rainbow in sight just as the sun was making its appearance in the early morning. Alexis & Isaac started their day slowly in a cozy, renovated bus in the heart of the wild Shawnee Forest in Southern Illinois. There was no reason to rush as they made coffee, held each […]
