Tucker and Elaina had a tradition of coming to the same beach every year on the 4th of July at Mount Baldy in the Indiana Dunes. It’s one of those places that’s just become part of their story over time. This year started the same way. They spent time by the water, soaking in the […]

John and Lucie’s story started in a place neither of them expected: the mail room of Lucie’s apartment building. Chicago offers so many incredible locations for engagement photos, but an Art Institute of Chicago engagement session always feels especially timeless. Exploring the museum with John and Lucie made the afternoon feel relaxed, fun, and full […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

David got on the phone with us a few weeks out before his planned proposal. He wanted to completely surprise his girlfriend Maggie with a question that would change their lives forever. When the day came, the weather was threatening to rain, but David was set on making it happen. The drizzle seemed to add […]
