Erin & Jim ~ the Wedding

Erin and Jim are one of the most unique couples I've ever had the pleasure of photographing, and I loved working with them! Both very intelligent and talented - and of course with a great sense of humor - they are a perfect fit. I loved that they brought in old family traditions with their own personal style and made their wedding their own. Erin made a stunning blue shawl which gracefully adorned her wedding gown. The detail was phenomenal! Her grandmother made the Danish wedding cake, which was accompanied by a flavorful array of cookies, homemade mints and champagne. And in lieu of the traditional dj and dancing, Erin and Jim's family socialized and played some of their favorite games. The entire atmosphere was so laid back, and wholly enjoyable. So easy to photograph!

Best wishes, Erin & Jim!

Elizabeth & Jeremy ~ the Engagement

I love photographing couples who are obviously head over heels for each other. Elizabeth and Jeremy are one of those, making my job easy! And during our shoot, I discovered their big hearts were not just for each other. Jeremy is a pastor at a local church in Alexandria, and Elizabeth is a fellow Indiana Wesleyan alumni who studied Addictions Counseling. What an amazing couple! I have no doubt that God will do great things through them. And I am honored to be capturing the beginning of their love story.

Katie's Maternity Session

I am beyond excited for #lilrodey to make a debut! This little one due in July will officially make me an Aunt - woohoooo!!! We always look forward to seeing my sister-in-law and her husband who live in California, and what better occasion than a baby shower?! Katie looked as stunning as ever as a beautiful mommy-to-be, and I was more than happy to shoot a maternity session for her following her baby shower in Michigan. And I'm sending a shout-out to her in-laws for letting us use their amazingly gorgeous home for such a perfect setting!

Katie wanted a "belly" theme for her session, and little gifts she received for her shower added the perfect touch when it came to props. I just love these!! Congratulations, Katie and Mike! I seriously cannot wait to hear about our little niece / nephew in just a couple months!!! :D :D :D
