Engagement sessions are about way more than photos. They’re our chance to hang out, shake off the nerves, and build trust so that by your wedding day, it feels like I’m just your professional third wheel (snacks and dog stories included). No stiff posing, no judgment—just time to laugh, be yourselves, and get comfy in front of the camera. Whether you want to keep it short and sweet or run around until the sun sets, each session is tailored to your story. Complimentary with all local wedding collections, or available separately (+$500 + travel if applicable) if you didn’t book me for the big day.

Ready for happy tears?
I’m big on transparency — what you see here is exactly what you get with me. I’m insanely detail-oriented and fully present in every connection I make, and I believe that’s why this career has brought me so many beyond-surface-level friendships.
Hopefully soon we’ll get to chat more and see if we’re a good fit (fingers crossed over here). But for now, I’ll leave you with this:
My promise? To show up fully for you, to create photographs that feel like home, and to leave you with a gallery that grows more meaningful with time. When you’re ready, reach out — your story deserves to be documented.
Your engagement session isn’t just a box to check — it’s your story in motion. From golden-hour beach walks and adventurous bike rides to cozy nights at home or champagne pops downtown, these engagement session ideas are crafted to feel like you. As an Illinois and Wisconsin documentary engagement photographer, I’ll help you plan a session that’s as unique as your love — authentic, comfortable, and full of nostalgia.
