Let’s chat about photo editing. This is a deep-dive topic in whole, but today we’re going to start simple and discuss one of the most basic photo edits: Black and White.

Photo Editing | Black and White

Megan REALLY wanted an autumn engagement shoot. When we got the sudden burst of winter (which is known to happen in the midwest), we switched gears a tad. Who would have thought that we would get the beautiful autumn leaves that were still clinging on for dear life, along with the crisp, bright snow? While […]

Here is the thing about blogging each and every couple as they start with their engagement session and work their way to their wedding day – I love being a part of this journey and documenting it with beautiful and creative images. Even more special is when one-half of the couple is one of your […]

Kalie + Jon || A VERY special engagement!

When a couple asks you if they can bring a tub of Top the Tater and a bag of Old Dutch Ripple Chips as a prop to their engagement shoot, you answer “YES” as fast as you possibly can. In all reality, I had to control myself not to shout “Duh!” but that would be […]

I’m so happy to share the photos from a brisk and windy day with Jaydeen and Nate! Their planned nuptials are scheduled for July of 2020, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say the weather will likely be a tad warmer for their happy day.  Here is the thing: For a […]
