    First engagement session of 2021, and these two made it super fun ✨
  • I’ve been pretty absent these past few months because I desperately needed a social media break. It’s hard running a business that is primarily social media based; it’s hard to disconnect but I knew I needed to.

I’m ready to kick back in full gear this year but also in a way, scale back. I put appropriate time limits on my social media accounts that gives me enough time daily to do the work I need to do, and connect with you all, but also shut me off so I can focus on my loved ones and self care! (Yeah, self care - a must)

I have many goals for this year; personal and work related. I’m so excited to share my life again with you guys, and share all my beautiful couples/families I get to constantly photograph.

I’m praying for nothing but good health, big blessings, and love to you all this year. Here’s to 2021. ✨

  • Moneta Life Update:

These past couple months have been full of mixed emotions for Jon and I. As many of you already know, we had to say “see ya later” to our sweet L. It was the hardest thing we ever had to do but we are so I grateful for the relationship we have with her and her mama. (Like we talk and FaceTime multiple times a day still 🤍)

L leaving us was one of the biggest reasons why we decided to sell our beloved Smoke Road House though. It sold within 24 hours and we were moved out in 30 days. Crazy + stressful let me tell ya! But because of the amount of work we put into that home, we were able to get a blessing of a return.

I was able to pay off my student loans so we are debt free now at 25 & 26 years old. No loans. No credit cards. No car payments. It all started 5 years ago and we finally made it. 🙌🏽 It’s such a relief and words cannot express how much we recommend Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University!

As for the “where are you living now” situation.... Jon and I found some beautiful property that we put a pretty low offer on just for fun - and they accepted it 🙈 So we get to start a new chapter that we have never done before.... BUILD!!! It’s definitely out of our comfort zone as we are used to fixing and renovating houses, but we are excited to see what we build here as we know this is what God intended for us. The best part is, it’s right by the street I grew up on my entire childhood! We will be walking distance from my parents and family now.

Last but not least, we bought a super cute home right in downtown Valparaiso as our first investment property. We will be living here and renovating/updating it so once our dream home is done being built, it will be available to rent for others!

We are incredibly thankful and blessed, even despite the trials we had to go through. 🤍

“Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.” Isaiah 30:18

I neverrrrrr usually post sneaks the same night of wedding days, but this mama leaves for a much needed sunny, warm vacation in 4 hours - so same day previews it is! Plus, these two deserve nothing but the absolute best.

Thank you so so much for choosing me to be a part of your special day.  Arlene, you have become such a sweet friend of mine (you too, Corey). I am extremely thankful for our friendship and wish sooooo many years of love + happiness for you both.

I hope you two are still out on that dance flooring partying it up! Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. Breclaw!

Okay I don't usually cry during weddings BUT I definitely shed a couple tears during their ceremony while they were reading their vows to each other.  I love how much they adore one another. 

Also, can we please make backyard weddings more popular even after all this COVID stuff?!?!? Because I am telling you - THEY ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE NOW!!!!

Oh and just adding to say - the fall colors have officially hit Indiana and they can stay forever please

I very rarely ever shoot double header wedding weekends anymore, but I NEEDED to and CHOSE to because my couples this weekend have become some of my sweetest friends! 

These two were down for anything and everything. I would say "How about we do this?" and they were like YUP OF COURSE! Thank you for choosing me and thank you for getting married on the most beautiful fall day EVER.
