When Lauren and Connor requested that their engagement session take place in Charleston, South Carolina, I couldn’t have been more excited! It was my first time there. And then when I showed up and they were THIS beautiful?! YES PLEASE! I know you’ve already thought it because it’s kiiiind of hard not to… yes, he looks exactly like KJ Apa (Archie, Riverdale). It was borderline the first thing out of my mouth when I first saw him – “I’ve never seen the show, but I get that all of the time” – he then shows me a photo of him dressed as Archie for Halloween from a few years ago. From now on I’d like to refer to myself as a photographer who’s based in Louisville, Indianapolis and Charleston. I mean…. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!  MY FAVORITE!!!! That light?! I have no words! Lauren told me that this building is quintessential Charleston! Thought I’m not sure she actually used the word quintessential. I’ve never thought about it before but that’s a funny word… quintessential. Does it mean it’s five times more essential than other essentials? Who knows? Shushing now. COULD THEY BE ANY MORE ATTRACTIVE??!! I’ll answer that – no. Not possible. GAH! Hello random orange wall, don’t mind if I do!

Cannot wait to photograph your wedding!

Much love friends,

I first photographed Sara & Mike nearly 9 years ago. For those who want to take a trip down memory lane, check out their engagement session and wedding. Sara has been trying to get me out to Wisconsin since sweet Lucy was born – and we were finally able to make it happen! I’m not exaggerating when I say that 90% of their session happened on this bed! It’s where she was the happiest so Lucy gets what Lucy wants! To my family photographer friends, you know how this goes – It’s the baby show and we’re all just along for the ride. Oh? You want to roll around in Cheerios? Then we roll around in Cheerios. Oh? You only want to play with this very ugly toy and won’t let it go? Then we play with that very ugly toy and we never let it go! Are you KIDDING me?! That sweet little face!!!!! The way the light is hitting her pony tail – I’m obsessed! …back to the bed Lucy has so much personality – and it was on full display that morning. ….alllll of the personality! And back to the bed… Sara & Mike, I love your love.

Much love friends!

If you’ve been reading this blog for any period of time, you already know this beloved family. I photographed their wedding in 2008 and have since had the pleasure of photographing their family many times over the years.

If you’re interested in a fun trip down memory lane, feel free to hop on! 2011, 2013, 2017, 2019

I always ask parents to describe their kids and each other in five words before a session. It looks like I forgot to ask before this most recent session, but here were the words they chose in 2019.

I’m kinnnnnd of obsessed with their pup! I mean, how can I not be?! HE’S PERFECT!

Robin – “The absolute 1) sweetest, 2) most thoughtful, 3) most servant-hearted, 4) most beautiful, and 5) best mother to his children a man could ever have. Was that more than 5?” -Peter

I would love to take credit for this amazing photo, but this is alllll Anna! She posed everyone just perrrrrfectly!

Peter – Strong, Sentimental, Genuine, Crazy Smart, Principled

Thomas – Brilliant, Thoughtful, Detailed, Obedient, Passionate

Robin, Peter, Thomas, Daniel, and Anna – I adore you and can hardly wait to see you again!

Much love friends!
