Lisa + Jeff: ENGAGED! | Bloomington & Uptown Normal Engagement Session

I spent an afternoon with Lisa and Jeff around Bloomington and Uptown Normal for their engagement session. We took advantage of the colorful murals in Uptown Normal as well as some great spots with fall color in Bloomington. Check out a peek into their sun-kissed session!

Stefanie + Kyle: ENGAGED! | Bloomington, Illinois Engagement Photo Session

Stefanie and Kyle brought their cute dog with them on their engagement session this fall! They assured us he would be insane, but he was such a good dog for us– he posed so well! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with these two around Bloomington, and are looking forward to next July for their wedding–…

Ashley + Travis : ENGAGED | Bloomington-Normal, Illinois Wedding Photography

Ashley and Travis met at Green Gables so we snapped a couple pics there at the end of their engagement session with us in Bloomington. It was a warm one– just like every day this summer it seems! But we made the best of the heat and had a great time!

Brittany + Eric: ENGAGED | Bloomington-Normal Wedding Photography

Check out the highlights from Brittany and Eric’s summer engagement session in Bloomington! We were lucky to find some green spots during the dry spell– can’t wait for these two to tie the knot this November!

Melyssa + Nathan: ENGAGED | Bloomington-Normal Engagement Photography

It was a perfect spring day at Comlara Park with Melyssa and Nathan for their engagement photos! Enjoy these sun-kissed highlights. These two are getting hitched in Colorado this summer! Wish we were able to make it, but we’ll be capturing their reception back home in Central Illinois the week after. Fun!

Kim + Robert: ENGAGED | Timber Creek Bed & Breakfast Engagement

Kim and Robert are sharing their vows this fall at Timber Creek Bed & Breakfast in Paxton, Illinois. We spent a sunny afternoon this spring with them at the B&B to take their engagement photos. Looking forward to fall already!

Brittany + Cole: ENGAGED | Bloomington, Illinois Engagement Photography

We spent a mild spring afternoon with Brittany and Cole in Bloomington for their engagement photos. Our mild winter has (for the most part) been friendly to spring engagement sessions this year! Enjoy the highlights– hopefully you can tell that we can even make a cloudy day look cool!
