The best part of having a kid who wants a professional 3D printer? He prints a camera for you. 📷😆

I photographed sweet Riley as a newborn three years ago, and now I had the honor of photographing her baby sister, Lainey. Seeing Riley come back as a proud big sister was such a full-circle moment.

There is something so special about watching families grow through my camera — from tiny newborn details to big sister smiles, these are the moments that become family history.

Riley and Lainey, you are both so loved. ✨

Belvidere Park District engagement session for Zoe and Brady, a sweet Northern Illinois couple getting married at Kilbuck Creek next May.

Behind the scenes from Zoe and Brady’s engagement session at Belvidere Park District. ✨

These two were so sweet together, and even with the chilly evening, they made it feel warm and full of love. I loved capturing the little in-between moments — the laughs, the snuggles, and the way they naturally looked at each other.

Engagement sessions are such a special way to slow down before the wedding day and celebrate this season of life together. Zoe and Brady, I’m so excited for you both and can’t wait for your wedding day! 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day, Kellie

This year is extra special — celebrating your first Mother’s Day as a mama of two beautiful girls.

It was such an honor to photograph sweet Lainey’s newborn session, and even more special having big sister Riley there too. I still can’t believe I photographed Riley as a newborn three years ago, and now I get to capture this next precious chapter for your family.

Watching your girls together was so sweet — Riley is already such a loving big sister, and Lainey is absolutely perfect.

Kellie, I hope this Mother’s Day feels full of love, snuggles, and all the little moments you’ll want to remember forever.

Happy Mother’s Day ✨
