just some lil detail shots i’ve just been quietly obsessing over for monthssss🌼🌿

taken while second shooting for ND + Midwest Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer | Dayna Brilz 🤍 so many months ago, lol. second shooting is wonderful + even better when I find time between my own work to give these galleries the love they so deserve!!!

crawling outta my little cave of ✨editing+shooting+planning+nesting✨ to say heyyyy👋🏼 between all of the beautifully fun sessions & weddings this past month and finding some sort of balance, apparently the first thing to fall to the bottom of the totem pole was socials😅🙈

my first priority has always been and will always be my clients. so much that if no one but us & who they share them with see the images that’s totally okay with me🤷🏽‍♀️

but in all seriousness, I very much understand that a lot of them need to be shared, seen & appreciated - not just within the “walls” of their galleries. even just typing this rn gets me PUMPED to share more with you❤️

the madche family’s farewell to 309🏡

they said goodbye to the home where they started their family and celebrated in the best way🥹 reminiscing on the good old days, while making space for even more of them❤️

huge shoutout to Krysten Faehnrich - Realty One Group Encore again for setting this up for her clients, it was such an honor🥰

april 2027 cannot come soon enoughhhhh😩🥂❤️‍🔥

but I’m told you can’t hurry love, you just have to wait🤭🤷🏽‍♀️

almost 2 weeks short of a year ago blake & eva did their very first couples session with me and said what most people say, leading to the same conclusion they all come to…

“we’ve never had professional pictures taken”
“we don’t know what we’re doing”

… but they did. because they knew exactly how to love each other and that’s the secret sauce🤫

the second time around for their engagement session they knew a little bit more about working with me, but they still didn’t know exactly how to pose & (spoiler) they👏🏼didn’t👏🏼have👏🏼to👏🏼

during my booking process, i’ve stopped asking clients to build a pinterest board (unless you already have one lol, I won’t stop you + will 100% bring your vision to life) because frankly I have more important questions to ask that help me get to know you instead of who you think you should be❤️

little details you never want to forget, because they’re only so little for so long, and it’s not very long❤️

mom + dad, waiting on their blue jean baby💙

i’ve always been a sucker for little baby clothes in general for as long as I can remember & at maternity sessions especially, but since my own pregnancy — I’m just a WRECK, they’re so tiny and adorable, I cannot handle the cuteness😭

couldn’t be more excited to meet baby boy in person this week!!!!!🥹

ron & zita celebrated 50 years of marriage last month and it was really hard to not get emotional thinking about all of my upcoming brides & grooms🥹

my hope for you on your wedding day (aside from all the obvious things) is that you give yourself a moment to look further than the best day of your life. hot take? maybe…

your wedding isn’t just about the pretty dress, extravagant decorations or even the big celebration, although the wedding industry can make it feel like that… it’s just the first of an every single day commitment to a long life ahead with the person you love most🤍

how about even more of a hot take? your wedding isn’t the best day of your life, every day after it just keeps getting better in its own way❤️‍🔥

one of my favorite parts of wedding dances is the anniversary dance & all of the above is exactly why!!!! 😭
