Shelbi and Alex were an amazing couple to have an engagement session with.  I learned a few things about during our time together.  Shelbi is from Nebraska! I have never been to that state so I was super excited to hear that.  I always love to meet new people from different parts of the country.

They both attend Olivet Nazarene University. Which is where they met!

Our session took place at the beautiful Kankakee River State Park. I go here a lot for photoshoots, but each one is different! The land is so big, with so much diversity. I could shoot a million more couples here and still see how special EACH couple is with their OWN style and love.

We had a quite scare with the weather. We didn’t know if the rain was going to be light or harsh. Turns up we finished just a few minutes before the storm brewed in.  I was so happy! There were a few sprinkles here and there, but I just had the chance to use my handy dandy bubble umbrellas! Those turned out to be my FAVORITE shots.

Congratulations to these two sweet humans. Thank you for working with me to create these beautiful photos! xoxo

If i had to pick just ONE photo from our session together. This would be it. Anyone else agree how sweet and wonderful it is?!

You wouldn’t think a photo of you walking together would be beautiful. But you guys it really is!

Here we had some fun with the focus 🙂 Variety is my favorite!

I just love taking my couples into the fields. They create texture and character.

And I might randomly tell you to dance together! I love the natural expressions and happiness from this.

Now it’s time to bring in the Umbrellas. I am obsessed with these!
