If you’re in the market for a venue space, @millerfarmsbarn has some of the most spectacular sunsets, hands down! I particularly love them when the sky chooses to throw in a little drama to the mix! 🤩😍

Kyli + Arik Miller planted their roots on this 1859 homestead, raising their two daughters, and growing one of the most successful wedding venues in Champaign County. Their service to their clients is unmatched! 🙌🏻

Looking for 2024? They’re booking tours now! RUN to get your date booked before it’s gone!!

I’ll be dreaming of another opportunity to get this shot again! It’s rare the water level gets low enough to be able to use the rocks. So combine that with sunset and you get EPIC! 🌟

Camryn’s senior session was pure magic!

I have been so busy with weddings this year, but I’m still shooting so many family sessions in between things. Editing my couples is so much fun, but in reality, I still get super gushy and emotional capturing little babes! 🥹😭

Don’t worry - I am still working relentlessly behind the scenes!! I just wanted to pause for a moment and appreciate the other blessings of this creative endeavor! ❤️

Oh little one… you are perfectly knitted! God formed you out of His genuine love and creative spirit. He has great plans for you. Plans to grow you, stretch you, to prosper you, to take you on the wildest of adventures… all while never leaving your side. You sleep in peace because He covers you under the arms of his protection. When you wake up, you are blessed because of his faithfulness. Indeed little one, there are multitudes created in his image, but only one of you. Isn’t it fascinating?! Woven from the same cloth, yet purposefully created to be set apart in your own way! Nothing can explain the marvelous ways of our Father better than to gaze upon the faces of his people! ❤️🙏🏻

I capture your babies, but THIS is how I see them in every frame!

I’m between weddings and down in Texas for a few days. Heading out today to capture senior pictures of my not-so-baby anymore 😭 and I felt like sharing this beautiful family session.

Hannah is such a tremendous light and friend! She’s been an incredible colleague in the industry and an even more amazing friend! To know her is to simply just adore this beautiful personality that spreads light everywhere she goes! 🌟

Feeling all the feels with these because of how special she is to me.

Jennifer + Tyler’s engagement session in lower Michigan was absolutely incredible this past month. 💕 We had so much fun and genuinely had a wonderful time exploring the beach together.

And if I say, “Run!” Jen leaves her man in the dust! 🤣 Stay tuned for their little friendly competition. 😆

Can’t wait to celebrate them in 2024 at the new @journeymandistillery Valparaiso location!!! 🫶🏻💍

Heading out in the AM with my good friend & colleague @rebekah.albaugh.photographer for a long weekend of work. Yes, we have a lot of ground (and states) to cover in just 3 days, but I wouldn’t want to do it any other way. ☺️
•

Thankful for friends and the ability to work. Thankful for our roadtrip discussions and the time to just reflect on family, faith, and the call to serve in the every day.

This is the part of the season where we’re all beginning to dig our feet in - just doing whatever we can to hold tight to our priorities in the midst of nonstop shooting and editing. I’m thankful for my clients that extend so much grace.

Emotional vow reading alert 😭😭😭 These two are SO ridiculously lovely! Fun, goofy (which you’ll be seeing soon enough), and quite matter-of-fact about how they feel. There’s no denying - Ryan + Amanda know how to cut right to it and bring us all to tears.
•
•
Oh but don’t worry - LOTS of laughing to come! 😆❤️

When in doubt, say, “Yes!” to private vows just before your First Look! It’s enough to make anyone swoon - on and off camera!

Amanda’s details were so elegant and meaningful. I wanted to really capture them in a way that she could treasure.

I style everyone’s details differently. Sometimes I use my linens, sometimes not. Sometimes I use nature, sometimes not. But the goal is to ensure that I capture what you’ve hand-selected to include on your special day.

One day our children might look through these photos and ask if that one particular “this or that” is still in the family so they can borrow it for their own wedding day. How special would it be to pass down more than just visual representations?! 🥹❤️

Erica is drop-dead STUNNING! 🤩❤️ I had such a hard time deciding whether to share the color or B+W image here. So head on over to my FB account if you want to see it in color! 🤣

I’m a tad behind on posting, but balancing busy season with family and back-to-school is so important to me. And yes, I CAN choose balance!

Anyone else finding back-to-school just a tad rough this year? 🙋🏼‍♀️ My baby is most definitely beyond the carrying stage. Can I say, “I’ll be feeling it in the back later!”

But, wouldn’t ya know, guess who picks him up and still carries him up the stairs to bed if he falls asleep on the couch? 🤣😆

I’m a sucker for a chance to snuggle them - just ONE more time! LOL! I can’t help it! I blame it completely on the book ‘As Long As I’m Living My Baby You’ll Be’ 🥹😭

Golden hour moments for our couples is like taking a long pause from the day - giving you a chance to just experience solitude, feel each other’s embrace, dance a little in peace, have fun and giggle, maybe shed a tear if you feel everything catch up with you. Whatever it is you find yourselves doing, just know that it’s O-KAY to give it to yourselves! It’s a gift! Treasure it and enjoy it. There is no right or wrong. No agenda.

Yes, we will take your pictures and we will gawk over how beautiful you are. BUT, we want to honor this time too. Tell us when you’re good and we can disappear.

Isn’t this shot lovely? My associate John caught it when we were working this wedding together. ☺️🥹 I tease him that he’s far better than I. But the reality is, we work ridiculously well with each other’s strengths/weaknesses and can anticipate where the other will be getting a shot. Trust me when I say, wedding photography is a TEAM effort!!! ❤️🙏🏻
