Whitney and Ryan took full advantage of the beauty of the gardens for their engagement session. Their coordinating gothic […]
Elizabeth + Rebecca Elizabeth and Rebecca’s engagement session was a sweet and relaxed afternoon. Surrounded by trees and early summer flowers, they had a picnic together complete with strawberries and Deer Creek wine. As we explored Panther Hollow and the outside gardens around Phipps, there was laughter and dancing and some very, very nice weather.
Sabina + Sabia Sabina and Sabia chose to do a blend of engagement session venues: a lil’ bit of in-home and a lil’ bit of the ever-beautiful Highland Park. First, we began in their home, complete with walls of gorgeous art and a kitty who did not trust me one bit but who I love […]
Susan + Bill The boathouse in North Park plays a special role in Bill and Susan’s story, so it was an easy choice for them when it came to where to have an engagement session. Earlier rainy skies gave way to the perfect late-afternoon sun for us as we explored around North Park lake. After […]
Gabriella + Gabriel Gabriel approached me months before this session with one of the most thorough and romantic engagement plans I’ve ever seen. Gabriel hired a live violinist, set up furniture and decor, prepared food, and commissioned a custom moon-shaped floral arrangement for the special moment. Even the date had personal meaning to the couple. […]
Kristina + Caleigh Fun fact about me: when I was in high school / college, I was really into the j-fashion and cosplay scene. I had an entire room in my apartment dedicated to just that. I love fantasy styles, dnd inspiration, and any outfit that includes a cool weapon. Kristina and Caleigh brought forth […]
Kasey + Alyssa In-home engagement sessions hold a super special place in my heart. They’re so intimate, cozy, and one-of-a-kind. If you’re stuck on a venue for your engagement photos, I can’t suggest an in-home session enough. Kasey and Alyssa have a tight-knit bond that includes an abundance of love for their absolutely adorable pets. […]
Dylan + Jordan Dylan reached out to me about this session several months in advance. He had a plan down to the last detail and I LOVED it. The premise was simple: the couple’s friends from out of state would drive in, enter Phipps with me an hour early, jump out at just the right […]
Emily + Meg I’ve got to be honest – shooting at the Carnegie Museum is HARD. You can’t bring in supplemental lighting and each room brings its own lighting challenges. Also, you can’t carry a bag! This means I have to work with just one lens. With all these challenges – I was a little […]
Andrea + Tim Andrea and Jim are the kind of people you meet and you can instantly tell – they’re super in love. The day of their session the forecast took a turn for the worst and we had to move their 3PM session time up to 8AM to avoid freezing rain. I brought some […]
