Lexie & Connor

These two settled in front of my camera so naturally, and the whole evening felt effortless as they spent time together, laughed nonstop, and simply enjoyed being in the moment. Their laid back personalities and trust made every part of their session so fun to capture.

Spending the evening getting to know Lexie and Connor was such a gift, and I already know their wedding next summer is going to be so special. I can’t wait to celebrate these two again soon

Lexie and Connor’s engagement session was such a joy from start to finish

Over the last 15 years of documenting my couples on the best day of their lives, I’ve met so many amazing people who quickly turned into friends. I hope that can be our story, too.

On the rare occasion that I’m not capturing a special moment, you can catch me spending my time with an incredible man who makes me laugh until I cry. I also tend to believe that a house is not a home until paw prints paint the floors. And admittedly, I cry at most movies, especially the romantic ones. Editing days consist of Dr. Pepper and take-out, while days off require country drives and visiting local wineries to listen to live music and take in a golden sunset. Hands down, it’s one of the best parts about Central Illinois. 

A photographer who’s passionate about natural light, making sure my couples feel cared for, iced white mochas, and my boys Dustin, Murphy, and Auggie. 

Hey, I’m Kate!
