When it comes to wedding photography, the reception is often where the magic truly unfolds. It’s a celebration of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments, and my goal as a photographer is to document those fleeting instances in a way that feels as alive and vibrant as the event itself. I take a documentary-style approach to […]

A Year in Review: A Heartfelt Thank You and a Look Ahead As we wrap up another incredible year, I can’t help but reflect on the countless moments that made 2024 so special. From the joyful “I dos” to the quiet moments shared between family members, it’s been a year filled with love, laughter, and […]

Capturing Moments, Creating Memories: A 2024 Photography Recap

December 12, 2024

There are some families that just stick with you long after the session is over, and the Clore family is absolutely one of them. I feel so fortunate to have crossed paths with Jessica earlier this year at a Momwalk photo event in Franklin, IN. When she reached out for a fall family photo session in October, […]

Ryan and Kaylee were a blast! They made a day trip and traveled all the way from Chicago to photograph their engagement session. I met them at Coxhall Gardens for a beautiful evening session. Indy sunsets pulled out all the stops for this one and I’m still obsessing over the glowy light! The two are […]

I met Morgan and Joel on Butler Campus for Morgan’s Grad photos and we got to snap some of the two of them while we were at it. We we’re so lucky to have the place mostly to ourselves and we beat the heat. Isn’t this the most magical light?

Morgan and Brandon sure are troopers! They met me for a barely-later-than-sunrise session and it was pure perfection. I am definitely going to try to make that an it-thing. The light was amazing and I don’t know how I’ll ever go back to shooting any other time of the day. Not only did we have […]

One of my favorite ways to document our adventures to a new place, is to have our photos taken somewhere scenic or unique to the location. When we made our first family vacation to Arizona when Beau was three months old- this was absolutely no acceptation! Andrew and I had always hoped to have had […]

Our baby Beau is six months old! I can’t believe we’re here celebrating his half birthday already. We celebrated with a photoshoot with my best friend and work wife, Lindsey- who you may have seen with me at weddings! Lindsey photographed all the giggles and got so many funny facial expressions from Beau! Beau is […]

Beau’s first session ever! While I took a few in the hospital, Beau truly had his first photo session a few days after being born with Lauren Wallace Photography in Louisville! We loved Lauren’s crisp white imagery and creamy skin tones so Beau took his first road trip pretty early on! We are so in […]
