For Abby and Mick’s engagement session in Springfield, Illinois they wanted to tie things back to the roots of their relationship. From the locations to the time of day, there was so much thought and purpose put into planning their engagement session, and I for one CANNOT get enough of it! These two had an […]

Erin + Blaine’s Downtown Springfield engagement session last summer was everything you could have asked for in a session. These two love spending their afternoons with their dog Edie, hanging out at their favorite local brewery, and just spending a lot of quality time with one another, so it only makes sense that we would […]

Springfield Illinois has become one of my go-to towns for engagement sessions over the past couple of years in photographing weddings.  Filled with history, beautiful architecture, and for my Springfield couples and myself, so many memories, it only makes sense that many of these amazing locations have become my favorite spots for engagement photos in […]
