Staying True to My Beliefs: The Importance of Family Photos and Keeping My Word As a photographer, I’m always focused on capturing the perfect moments for my clients, ensuring they have memories to treasure for years to come. But one thing I’ve learned through my own experiences is that it’s just as important to make […]

Woohoo! We’re finally on maternity leave! After 12 weddings and countless sessions while pregnant, I’m finally on leave until late September. I never thought id be excited, as I truly love my job, but I’m READY. My body is tired and I can’t wait to soak in this alone time and air conditioning. We made […]

Going on a baby moon was one of the best decisions we have made during this pregnancy! Pre-baby I had previously booked my friend, Kate’s wedding in Nantucket, MA. When it just so happened that I’d be 31 weeks pregnant on the trip, we made a week out of it. When I say we needed […]

Our Happy Hour themed baby shower was last Friday evening and we had so much fun celebrating Baby Cupp with Andrew’s family and friends! Andrew’s parents threw us this party complete with a taco bar and lots of pink. Also using this as our 30 week bumpdate-6 weddings until baby girl gets here!

Our girls nursery is practically finished! I feel so relieved to have this done. As a planner, I wanted EVERYTHING done prior to my maternity leave (hello, August where you at?!) so I could just relax and do absolutely anything other than sweat as the heat is not my friend this pregnancy. For this room, […]

She did it again! Katelyn killed our portrait session and we are so thankful for her. I’ll be honest, I was having a day and was not sure if I’d like these photos because I just wasn’t feeling it at the time. But, Katelyn delivered and I am obsessed! We absolutely love these images and […]

My best friends Abby and Lindsey planned a baby shower for me at Cake Bake in Carmel, IN for me! They’re so sweet to spoil Baby Cupp and I with treats and presents. We had such a fun day and they even took some maternity photos for me-perks of having photographer besties!

The first of many baby showers we had to celebrate Baby Cupp was held in my home town of Monticello, IN with my family! My mom and step mother planned this shower for us. We had lots of sweets, including donuts-which have been my biggest craving so far, mimosas, and some brunch items. Andrew and […]

As someone who REALLY advocates for having your photo taken, I really dropped the ball documenting my pregnancy. In all fairness, despite morning sickness and extreme hunger-I truly did not start feeling different/seeing a change in my body until around 25 weeks. So this is me admitting I don’t really have any ‘bump’ pictures to […]

In case you missed the announcement, we’re having a baby! Andrew and I are so excited to welcome our rainbow baby late this summer. Baby Cupp is already so loved, I am so thankful for all the love and support we have received in announcing our new bundle of joy! Last summer amidst the craziest […]
