Manning three schedules of three young boys is a hard task. Kelly knows it very well. Running a kindergartener to school and dealing with two nap schedules while managing her home is enough to make me need a nap! It was great to get these three busy boys in action and great to see them all again (outside the walls of the park and pool where we usually see them!!)
Time together together is up there on the charts with the Nelson family. Three boys and lots of energy makes their time far from boring. Chris and Katie were so great to let me into their lives to photograph them for a day. I was in awe of their humbleness and their willingness to serve their children as we went through their session. Loads of energy and lots of smiles were the result!
You may recognize this beautiful family from other blog posts. They are some of our wonderful friends who are out in Chicago. Our family was able to spend some time with them earlier this spring, and as always it is wonderfully, entertaing time! Last year we wee able to see them right before their smallest was born! I am blessed to be able to photograph such momentous times!
I couldn’t wait to see the precious little boy that Lisa and Tyler were waiting for. A perfect little handsome man awaited our session and did wonderfully at just a few days old. His daddy already has big plans for him, those filled with basketballs and the color blue! I can’t wait to see this little guy continue to grow!
Brandon has definitely changed in the course of a year and a half. It was great to meet up with his family again and photograph his changes. What a great and active 2 year old he is, and I love it!!
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
