I wish this post had audio because I would open it up with my best NANT INGONYAMA BAGITHI BABA! And then to proceed to show you the image of Dillon holding up Amelia like Simba. Ah, yes. The circle of life. Or in my case, the circle of photography. You see, Brooke and Dillon are one of my adorable wedding couples. Their day was springtime wedding gold and now that they've expanded their family by one cub, it only makes sense that we update the family portrait! So we headed

If you can believe it, this session was done this week, not back in October. When we first booked this session, Amy wondered if there would still be leaves on the trees. I was cautiously optimistic, but WOW! What an incredible Autumn background we had here at the end of November! Southern Indiana can be pretty cool like that sometimes... Speaking of cool, this is the family, guys. I've known this group for pretty much my entire life and they really are just the coolest bunch

I mean this in sincerity when I say that wedding days are like babies to me: I could never choose a favorite. I honestly have the time of my life shooting these incredibly special days and it truly never gets old. There are certain wedding days, though, that sometimes feel less like I’m stepping into a celebration and more like a story. I kid you not, looking through Courtney and Kaileb’s wedding photos made me feel like I was in a modern day Pride and Prejudice adaptation. T

Hey, friend! Long time, no blog. But it was for a good reason! Well, it's a reason at least. For the past 2 weeks, my family and I have been living our absolute best lives living on a cruise ship, stopping throughout Europe. Josh and I initially wanted to go somewhere just the two of us for our 10th anniversary, but we quickly realized we would be miserable without our babies. So, the five of us, four grandparents, two uncles, and one aunt made our way across the Atlantic to

Are you kidding me?! I just did a session in the hundred acre wood. Marley's second round of senior pictures are absolutely magical. She wanted fall colors, and, boy, did she ever get them! We found the one and only break in this series of drizzly days and took full advantage. I am forever in awe of her spirit and sense of adventure. Every time I take her picture, it feels like I'm on a quest and I love it. Doesn't hurt at all that she's gorgeous and has perfect hair and teet

If you're a faithful subscriber to this blog, first of all: thank you. But also, I'm sorry for bombarding your email with four posts this evening. It's been a crazy busy week! In fact, it's been a crazy busy decade! But there's absolutely not one thing I would change about it because for the past 10 years, I've had the honor of being married to the best person I know. This past Friday, 10/24/25, Josh and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. When he asked me months ago what I wa

My beautiful Grandma, Grace, turns 80 this Friday! To celebrate, we threw her a party filled with lots of her favorite people. So many friends and family traveled to spend the afternoon with her, laughing and reminiscing on old times. You can tell by the look on her face how much she enjoyed it and we thank everyone for helping make it so wonderful! Thanks to The 82 Building for hosting our event, and, as always, thanks to my amazing family for always lending helping hands.

It's my model family, back once again to grace the blog this fine evening! Brett, Melanie, Lillie, and Beckham met me to update their family portrait since these kiddos are actually growing right before our eyes! It's crazy how quickly the time flies, but one thing has remained the same: this is the prettiest family ever. No matter what day Melanie and I decide to mark down for a session, it is always gorgeous. The Indiana sunset was absolutely magical and the moments between

Do you all remember the gorgeous wedding I shot last year at Paris Park? The one with the adorable first look and stunning fall colors? Well, that couple is now a family! Jeremy and Elizabeth have welcomed their adorable baby girl, Macie Sophia, into the world. Let me just tell ya, she is a doll baby. Her perfectly pouty lips and dainty little fingers were so much fun to photograph. The sweet little milk dots around her nose, the birthmark on her forehead, and those incredi

Once Upon a Time in a far away kingdom rich in tradition and family values, there lived a young Princess named Abigail. She was kind, beautiful, and beloved by all. She grew up in a castle full of love and laughter. One by one, she watched as other members of the royal family found their perfect match and said their vows. Although the Princess was strong, witty, and full of spunk all on her own, she couldn’t help but dream about finding her very own Prince Charming. To say “I
