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.

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 […]

What a treat it is to photograph a family through both pregnancy and the newborn stages. Aiden is such a sweet baby and is so adored by his momma and daddy. I LOVED the outfits that his momma chose for herself and baby from the Studio Illume client closet

What a treat it was to photograph Peter and Janine’s wedding day at Moonstone Manor! From their church wedding to the lovely grounds at the manor, it was a stunning wedding day for a wonderful couple!
