Courtney and Joey have done a little traveling and so it was fitting that we ended up at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, which has some STUNNING views (even with all of the Canadian smoke floating back into the area). Courtney wore a dress she bought in Spain and the two looked just perfect! I always love […]

To say that I had fun styling and photographing Sienna’s newborn session would be an understatement! It was a pleasure to work with Lesley and Brian to make their vision come to life with an ‘old world’ color palette, instead of lots of pink that you might normally see for little girls. There was definitely […]

Each year since the opening of Studio Illume, I have hosted floral sessions each for families. This year was a little bit different in that I took on the floral design myself (when in the past I’ve trust Lavender and Locks Flower Farm and Forte Florals, who both did a PHENOMENAL job).

Katrina and Chip just happened to schedule their session for the day after my Motherhood Event, so we took full advantage of all of the flowers and the backdrop I put together. Let’s be real, though – it was these two that made the session pure magic. I am so thrilled to be photographing their […]

Nicole and Andrew’s engagement session was just a little over a year until their big day, and how amazing are their outfits?! I loved the contrasting blacks and whites. There are flowering trees near where they will be celebrating, so we made sure to include blooms where we could. I love that so much about […]

This is baby number three for Steph and Jeff and the third time that I have been SO blessed to photograph their teeny tiny babies. What a joy! Baby Madeline Jane is so precious. Congratulations Steph, Jeff, and the boys! Your hearts must be so full! PS. You are now able to purchase bunches of […]

I don’t normally recommend engagement sessions during the colder months, but occasionally couples request them and these two made it look SO good! Olivia and Richard, you two are so sweet together and I cannot wait for your wedding day!

Hydrocephalus is a condition where there is excess fluid built up on the brain. There is no cure and the only treatment is brain surgery. Shunts are placed and can fail, leading to […]
