ALLISON + ADAM • DOWNTOWN CHICAGO ILLINOIS ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

Engagement photos on a beautiful fall day in Downtown Chicago Illinois – honestly is anything better? My first time photographing a couple in the big city and hopefully not the last because I felt SO in my element. We started by Lincoln Park and walked around and ended up down by the water on the beach with a beautiful skyline view. OHHHMG. Allison + Adam are so sweet and are definitely pretty into each other ;) They knew all the fun places and gave me their own personal tour while I third wheeled with a camera. Basically how any date should go minus the third wheeling (haha I’m lame). Can’t wait to see what magic we come up with next July for their Iowa river wedding!

I highly highly recommend booking an engagement session with your wedding package – not only do you get more photos and have more memories, but we get a chance to actually work with each other and get to know each other on a more intimate level so when it’s your wedding day, it’s like hanging out with old friends.

BRENNAN FAMILY • IOWA CITY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER • LAKE MACBRIDE

Families dancing in the sun, doing their thing, maybe a little bit of chaos. I LOVE THAT. An outdoor family session out by the lake – sometimes Iowa can be really beautiful, but a sweet family and a sunset – perfection. The Brennan family and I met way back last year for their really super hot extended family session – like HOT as in we were melting, but they’re a pretty fire family too! I absolutely love when families come back year after year (I’ve only been doing this a few years, but stiiiilll.) A perfect first day of fall session – we met at Lake Macbride and the five-o errr quint family and I just hung out and played. I have one child, but I’d like to think that I know generally how kids will behave during sessions. I will tell you, 8/10 they’re not going to just sit and smile and do what you say. The stakes are high, folks. Come ready to play and cuddle and DO – we gotta figure out what sweet & unique ways your family smiles together. Come as you are and I will capture that.

ERIKA + DANNY • COLORADO WEDDING & ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

ERIKA + DANNY had some BOMB.ASS. engagement photos taken at the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. I’m not even going to excuse my “foul language” because what I really want to say is that place is fucking awesome and so are they. BAM.

This amazingly hilarious and fun couple live in Colorado but are from the Cedar Rapids area and it couldn’t have worked out perfectly that while on vacation in the great CO, we aligned their engagement photos. I’m crossing my fingers that I get plenty more opportunities to take photos there (both anywhere in that state and especially the Sand Dunes because it’s literally one of my favorite places ever ever ever.

One thing you should know if you book me for your wedding photos is that I really want to get to know you and maybe sort of be your friend. Or at least enough so when I’m third wheeling with you at your wedding, you know you’ve got someone who’s a little bit like you and can vouch for you to have the best day while getting some amazing photos. I also like to cuss a little bit (but will be on my best behavior NOT to if need be. I have a toddler so I know when to keep my mouth shut) – Erika + Danny – I CANNOT WAIT to be there for your wedding in May. Which is less than FOUR months away and holy crap that’s coming up! So let me stop talking because we all know my forte is with photos and not with words.

QUINN • QUAD CITIES WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

NQ + PQ Backyard Boho wedding in Quad Cities.

A beautiful backyard wedding for two of my favorite people. THE DETAILS. Everything about that day was gorgeous starting from hair + makeup at Polished Salon, an amazingly hand-decorated (by the couple and all of their friends) backyard in their own home. I mean, how much more personal and sweet can you get? I JUST completed my first full year of officially being a wedding photography and am SO excited to get back to sharing all of these now that I’m just about getting caught up on work.
