The sweetest little session to celebrate and next step with their newest addition to their family. Quinn was so sweet and adorable and their house was so welcoming and cozy which was perfect for snuggling up together 💗

Every newborn session has been different, but it was amazing to capture Quinn smiling as her mama gave her a little kiss 🥺

I may be biased, but this family sessions one of my favorites 💕 it’s such an honor getting to capture my favorite people (and built in best friends) and their milestones over the years. From growing up, to capturing their surprise proposal, then engagement and wedding, then pregnancy announcement and now my niece’s first photo session, it’s been a joy to document my sister and brother-in-law throughout it all. Love y’all 🫶

Even with a day filled with torrential downpour and thunderstorms, and took all of it in stride and had the best attitudes, focusing on what the day was really about. There was laughter, tears, nervousness and oh so much love and joy.

They were so willing to roll with the changes and just as eager to trust the vision I had as we figured out how to get beautiful portraits and photos with the wedding party after the storms continued on.

I had a blast capturing all the love and happiness! Congratulations again and here’s to many years of happiness together!

There’s something that feels so magical when it starts to feel cooler outside and the days look golden as the leaves change 🍂

Sarah and Austin soaked up the perfect autumn weather for their October engagement session in Effingham. More photos to come later from our time at Wheat Penny Bar downtown!

Callie + Josh | 09.20.25

A little sneak peek into Callie and Josh’s beautiful Lake Sara wedding. What started as a sunny day quickly turned into rain and thunderstorms, but these two handled it with so much joy and grace.

They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, a symbol of new beginnings, cleansing, and unity, and I can’t think of anything more fitting for Callie and Josh. The way they embraced it all was such a testament to their love.

Their family and friends were incredible, so patient, supportive, and ready to celebrate big once the dance floor opened up. I feel so honored to have been part of such a heartfelt day. Wishing you both all the love in the world and congratulations again! ❤️
