Lauren is my hairdresser and I just adore her! She scheduled a session with me last time I was in her salon chair and the Indiana weather pushed it back a bit, but we finally got to meet at her grandparent’s property to capture her and Luigi together. Luigi is such a well behaved dog, and was cracking me up when he would get the zoomies and run across the yard! He loved all the cuddles with his momma, and all the treats that followed each photo. I loveeee photographing dogs and their owners, because dogs are like children and best friends all in one. When I was a senior and my dog Biscuit was 12 years old, I had photos taken at my home with him and my dog Ellie May. Biscuit passed later that year and those photos still sit on my book shelf. This past year, I had branding photos taken for my website and brought my dog Kip along. Those photos are so important to me, knowing that Kip won’t be around for forever, and knowing that I have those special photos to hold on to for the rest of my life.

Christian & Kelsi's Engagement Photos at Minnetrista

I can't wait to photograph Kelsi & Christian’s wedding next May! These two are the sweetest and have the most well mannered pup too. We had just gotten to the session, I had taken maybe 10 photos and I was backing up away from them and I looked over and saw my step stool, kept backing up and completely fell on my back over my camera bag, feet up in the air, hands on my camera. We all got a good laugh from my clumsy butt and got lots of smiles from these two!

Front Porch Quarantine Photo Session

During quarantine front porch sessions become pretty popular. Legally I was not allowed to be running my business outside of my home... but once things opened back up, I got to capture the sweet Choate family. I LOVE FRONT PORCH SESSIONS! This was a short and sweet session, perfect for their adorable little one and doggies.

Riley With Her Dog Gypsy

I got the opportunity to capture Riley, who is a senior at Yorktown high School graduating this Sunday. Her momma wanted a session with her 12 year old dog Gypsy, so that is what we did! I absolutely love being able to capture pets in photo sessions. When I was a senior in high school, I lost my childhood dog, Biscuit to old age. That previous summer I had had photos taken in my backyard with him and those photos mean the world to me. Being able to look back at those images, after he was gone is so special to me, and I will hold on to those for the rest of my life.

Kellyn, Christian, & Finn (The Doggo): Mother's Day Minis

So when I was in preschool we passed the microphone around the stage at graduation and told the audience what we wanted to be when we grew up, I said "I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up!" Then nervously passed that mic to the next kid. I later on learned that veterinarians had to put animals down when they were sick or old, so I changed that dream real quick and just decided I would own all the dogs and cats I could. Now that I am doing my dream job, with several animals of my own, I get to photograph the cutest doggies ever, and it makes my heart so happy!
Check out Finnegan, and his two sweet parents, Kellyn & Christian Reid.

I was so happy when they came strolling up with the cutest doggo Finn for a Mother's Day Mini!

Aki & Rizzo - Christmas Chicago Cubs Style

I captured these two FUR-BABIES with my Christmas set-up in the studio about a month ago. Kayla Barta surprised her mom Julie Barton & step-dad John Barton with a photo album filled of photos of their son and grandson, Aki & Rizzo. As you can tell, they are big Chicago Cubs fans.

Leah & Devin // Engagement

Where do I start? The adorable puppy, their sweet love story, or the fact that I ended up with way too many photos of these two! I had such a blast capturing Leah and Devin’s engagement photos at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I met Leah in Art School (How fitting) and was so excited when she contacted me to photograph the two of them and their adorable puppers. These are just a handful of all of the great shots that we captured on such a cold and icy day, they were smiling and so much fun to work with, the entire time, even after I made them sit right on the icy cement! Congratulations to this sweet couple and I am so excited to see your future together!
