1. If you could watch only one movie for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Hands-down, that’s gotta be “Sixteen Candles.” John Hughes is just such an amazing director/screenwriter that I could really say any of his movies (Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s) but this one has so many sweet memories tied to it after...

Annie and Ryan: Sneak Peek
Hope everyone is having a wonderfully relaxing Memorial Day Weekend! I know when I photographed Annie and Ryan’s engagement session, these two lovebirds were looking forward to joining thousands of others on the infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to watch the Indianapolis 500. I hope you two wore your sunscreen and had a blast!...
Chrissy and Ross: The Engagement
Chrissy and Ross have that casual kind of love that’s easy to pick up on if you spend a bit of time with them. The kind where, even if no one was there with them, you know there’d be hand-holding going on. A few stolen kisses maybe. I know ’cause even when they weren’t on...
The Smith Family: Sneak Peek
They’re baacccckkkkkkkk! If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I adore the Smith family—definitely some of my favorite people to photograph. I first shot April and her family last summer, when she was pregnant with the new little man in her life, Finn (who’s now 9 months). As we got together on Saturday...
Lauren and Ben: Sneak Peek
I kicked off my 2011 wedding season Sunday with the perfect couple. Lauren is super sweet, eclectic and oh so much fun. Ben is her charming British beau who happens to be in a touring Beatles band. And together? Well, they’re perfect for one another. It was a day full of fun details, charming accents,...
Mandi and Sam: The Engagement
I went out on a limb for Mandi and Sam’s engagement—not literally of course, but figuratively? Definitely. While out location scouting, I passed this property and, far off in the distance, spotted this field of amazing yellow flowers. There was nothing else around like it for miles and I felt something come over me. “You...
May Self-Portrait: I Got Back on the Bike
I have never been the type you’d describe as physically “adventurous.” You won’t find skydiving on my bucket list. Or bungee jumping. I’d add swimming with sharks, but you get the idea.
In high school, I spent two days on the track team thinking I was awesome at the high jump. Until I landed hard on...
A Q&A with Thread & Film
People have a funny way of coming back into your life. I first met Jessica (VonGunten) Gensic long ago when I started going to my home church in high school. She and her siblings attended the church and I remember them all as a talented crew with so much inspiring faith in the Lord. When...
Chrissy and Ross: Sneak Peek
I sat in my car, waiting on Chrissy and Ross to arrive for our engagement session and didn’t like the look of those clouds to the north. Not one bit. I said a little prayer we could please, please, PLEASE get these photos taken before a storm blew through Indianapolis Saturday. Because these two were...
Laurie and Joe: The Engagement
There’s nothing more intimidating than meeting someone for the first time and then, five minutes later, sticking a camera in their face to take their photographs. As nervous as I am at the idea, I try to remember my clients are just as nervous too! With Laurie and Joe, this picture-taking business came TOO easy....
