The Lavey Wedding is officially in the books and I cannot wait to show off this incredible couple, but before I do, I just have to first take a second to recognize the people that surrounded Josh and Lauren on their big day. This bridal party is the standard. I saw these ladies sort through layers and layers of dress to capture bugs. They repositioned the veil countless times. They made sure Lauren was fed and hydrated. They held up their phones to capture special moments, ju

I had the most precious little peanut in my studio this week. Louis Grant has made his arrival as the first baby, first nephew, and first grandbaby on each side. I speak from experience when I say: that is a lot of responsibility! Being that spoiled (loved) is no easy task, but Mr. Louis has taken on his new role like a complete professional. Starting with the perfect newborn session! Little man was so calm the entire time. His gallery will be full of his little irresistible

Here's the story: I blog almost all of my sessions. That means my husband proofreads all of my blogs (yes-blame mistakes on him). After he read about a session I did for the sweetest engaged couple at the Indiana Statehouse, that man says to me, "Those were really pretty. We should go there and take pictures together." I know. I know. Nicholas Sparks himself couldn't have come up with a more romantic line. Say less. Coincidentally, my bff texted me about that same session say

April showers bring the most magical engagement sessions! I am elated to show off these two love birds and their portraits that look like they came straight out of a magazine. Hannah and Justin met me at West Baden Springs to document this time in their love story. Their incredible sense of style paired with the breathtaking scenery of the resort created the most gorgeous editorial-style photos. Then we headed outside in the drizzling rain to give this adorable couple their “

Please welcome to the blog, Mr. Stark, or "Peter Parker" as my son calls him. How cool can one guy be to have two superhero names?! And it totally fits him. Just like superheroes, Parker has many talents and interests. As proven by the fact that his arms could barely hold all of his patches. None of his talents, however, are more impressive to this photographer than his ability to snap from 100-watt smile to serious smolder in a nano-second. I had so much fun getting to docum

I'm completely geeking out over these images. What a dream of a session. Back when I first started this photography journey, Megan and Devin were my very first session fully in manual. Every time I looked at the back of my camera, I was in awe at the art we had created. Nine years later, I got that very same thrill looking at these breathtaking images. Yes, this setting is incredible. Of course, Megan looks like a model. Yes, it's drool-worthy the way Devin stares at his bri

Proposal season is behind us, wedding season is just ahead of us, so that means that engagement session season is upon us! Kaitlyn and Tharan are my models today and they are the cutest! I have a theory that the more comfortable a couple is with each other, the more comfortable they are in front of the camera. These two are the most giggly, easygoing lovebirds and it was a complete delight to capture this part of their story. They were willing to climb hills, sit in dirt, and

The Weyer family is growing and getting more perfect with each addition! For this session, we finally get to see Goldie step into her role as big sister. We also get to see how sweet Penelope fits into this family of four as the perfect missing piece. Miss Penelope was a little princess the entire time. I loved getting to photograph her in all of her little heirlooms. Her little frilly blue dress and basinet have been passed down from her momma and the way Goldie looks peekin

I'm so excited to feature this dapper young man on the blog today! Although it's hard for me to see him as anything other than a spiky-haired, adventurous little kid with glasses who loves gushers and sugar on his cereal (flashback to Israel 2015), the fact is that Griffin has turned into an incredibly talented and humble young man. He uses his voice, mind, and talents for the Lord and I can certainly say I appreciate it! I loved that his session was a combination of studio a

The Stevens family has graced my lens once again! This time, we’re celebrating Elliot turning 3 and Dallas turning 2. These boys make every shot look like a catalog ad. They’re so deliciously adorable that even their mean mugs are worth framing. The Stevens crew turns their sessions into one big play date and I could not love it more. In fact, one of my favorite pictures is Dallas’s quivery lip when his tower fell over. Two seconds later and he was back to stacking a new one.
