This sunflower session had me smiling from the minute I got there, to writing this blog post.

You know those friends who are always upbeat and make you happy when you’re around them? Well that’s Kate.

When the pandemic hit, Adam and Allison took the new restrictions in stride. This meant a new location at The Orrmont Estate in Piqua, Ohio instead of downtown Chicago. And it was absolutely meant to be.

There was a huge storm brewing on the day of Claire and Luke’s engagement session. We agreed to push our meeting time up an hour, and we smashed out their session right before the storm hit!

Kelsey and Matthew were wonderful to photograph, from their engagement session, to their wedding at St. Joe Farm.

From our first email exchange, Emily and I hit it off right away! We both went to the same high school, and it always makes me happy when I can re-connect with McAuley girls!

You know when you meet someone and have an immediate connection with them? That’s how I felt the minute I met Paulina and Andre over Zoom!

This was an extra special engagement session because the bride to be Vee was my college roomie! Her fiance Alex was our next door neighbor. (A setup out of a sitcom, right?!)

There’s quite the story behind Kayla and Maddy’s wedding day (a running theme for 2020 wedding couples)!

It was a wet and rainy Saturday when Kirsten and Matthew met me at Hidden Pond Woods for their engagement session. There was a constant drizzle all day, but when we arrived it miraculously let up!
