Cheyenne and Andrew had a farm engagement session at both of their family farms.  We always love when couples do something unique to them and their relationship.  Both of their families have cattle, Cheyenne’s family specifically has show cattle.  Cheyenne spent the summer showing cattle and her dad and brother shaved their wedding date on […]

Kaylee is a senior at IW high school and involved in many fall activities. We had planned ahead and scheduled her for Columbus Day so we could hopefully capture the fall colors and not have to worry about the stress of volleyball practice.  The trees surprised us this year and didn’t start to turn quite […]

Allison & Austin were married on a beautiful fall day in Quincy.  The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, which worked out well because we had big plans to do photos at the same park we did their engagement pictures at.  Allison loves Bob Mays Park in Quincy. Before meeting Allison last year we hadn’t […]

Sara & Landon were married at the beautiful Barn on the Ridge outside Burlington, IA.  It is a gorgeous venue with the most incredible owners.  Jennifer, the owner and coordinator, is the BEST!  (Brides if you are looking for a beautiful venue in the Burlington area check them out, you wont regret it!) Pair the […]

Caitlin and I grew up together, we actually were very close friends in middle school.

Breana & Robert traveled back from Springfield for their engagement session so we could take their photos at Breana’s grandparents house on Little Swan Lake.  We had heard of Little Swan before but never actually been out there and, wow! It was gorgeous.  It was such a fun place to shoot and we loved that […]

This wedding held extra importance to me as Ali is my cousin, and I was beyond excited to be a part of it.  I was able to be there Friday as they decorated for the reception so I knew it was bound to be beautiful, but it was beyond beautiful.  The centerpieces and details were […]

When Stephanie first messaged us about photographing their wedding she told us about the significance of the date they picked and we knew instantly it was a love story we couldn’t wait to be a part of.  It was Sam and Stephanie’s 8 year anniversary and Sam’s grandparents’ wedding anniversary!  To top it all off […]

If I could sum up Mary & Alan’s wedding day in one word it would be FAMILY.  The love and support that they had from their family was undeniable.  They are a well loved couple so there were many friends there to share in their day too but their family was a crucial part of […]

Braelynn had high hopes for a field of sunflowers for her pictures but unfortunately they were all gone by the time her session came along, but luckily I had spotted this beautiful patch of yellow flowers in the middle of Macomb of all places!  They may not be sunflowers but they sure are gorgeous, and […]
