When I first met Kaylin last year, Joe was away at school (finishing up his college degree!) and couldn’t come with.  So Kaylin brought her mama and we sat and talked the night away!  I knew right away that we were a GREAT fit for each other.  I could tell right away the importance that […]

I remember sitting across from Julie and Drew in a small little coffee shop about a year ago.  They introduced me to their sweet and shy little daughter, Ava.  We sat and chatted about their story and their plans for their upcoming wedding day…and I just knew that the day would be beautiful! This past […]

The very moment I walked into the Briar Ridge Country Club (which doubled as both the “getting ready” location and the reception location!) I felt a sense of family.  I made my way through the ballroom area and noticed Lauras mom arranging things on a table and others getting things ready for the celebration to […]

Ahhh you guys!  This engagement session out in the wide open spaces…well it was just perfect!  Clare and Nathayn grew up in different states (her in Illinois and him in Texas!), first connected in Iowa at college and they are getting married here in Indiana this Winter.  In fact, it will be our last wedding […]

Laura & […]

When my kids were little and I was dreaming up this business, I was a little fearful that once I was pursuing my passion as a business…that the photos of my own life and my own children would get put to the side. I had witnessed this with other people…the regrets of spending too much […]

They attended different high schools but still ended up crossing paths anyway. She would dog sit for his dog at times and when I asked where their first date was…they both responded with question in their eyes.  Because there really was no “official” first date.  They were already friends and they barely remember when it […]
