Rachel + Keith || Rockton, IL Wedding

in ,
 

Rachel and Keith tied the knot back in September on a beautiful apple orchard in Rockton, IL. The excitement these two shared to marry one another was so clear - their first look got me real good. And, all their details were simply gorgeous. Her dress looked like it came straight from a fairytale. Their grandmothers were their flower girls (I love this idea!). AND, they even had a COTTON CANDY bar for guests when they took a break from the incredible dance party. 

Rachel and Keith's wedding was just so good and I'm so thankful that Erika of Mayden Photography brought me along to second shoot this incredible day.

Dana has been a friend of mine since my freshman year of college. Today we got together and made flower crowns. Of course, I had to take some photos of this gal! 

 

Amanda + Josh || Chesterton, IN Maternity Session

in ,
 

I've known Amanda + Josh since last November when I photographed their pregnancy reveal session. As I have watched their family grow, I am reminded of what a joy it is to be a lifestyle photographer. I've been able to experience and share in the excitement with my clients as they celebrate new life chapters. This sunset maternity session was nothing short of beautiful, and I am that much more excited to meet their newborn come June.

Hannah and TJ at the Indiana Dunes. This session just shows how much these two love and care for each other, and I feel honored to capture these moments for them. Looking forward to their wedding this July. 

 

Boho Chic Wedding Inspiration || Chicago, IL Wedding Photographer

in , , ,
 

This styled shoot at Garfield Park Conservatory was a dream to capture. 

THAT dress - enough said. The groom looked handsome from head to toe. The florals got me daydreaming about Spring. Anyone with a flower crown has got me swooning. Handmade wedding bands uniquely designed. Macrame designs throughout to add a touch of boho flare. Watercolor paper goods that are simply gorgeous. So much more boho-chic details here. Be sure to check out the crazy talented vendors listed below!

Oh AND - the video is a must see! Enjoy :) 

Update: This shoot has been featured in Junebug Weddings!

    Emma || Valparaiso, IN Portrait Session

    Emma is such a free spirit and I love it. This was one of those sessions that came together rather quickly with a stop at a local thrift shop for an outfit (isn't it gorgeous?!) and grocery store for some fresh florals... and just like that we had a vintage/boho goddess. And, this winter wonderland backdrop made for an even more dreamy shoot. Insert cat heart eye emoji here.
