It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that Nora is five! She requested a zoo theme this year, so we went with “Party Animals”—and it was an absolute blast! 🐆🎉 Lately she’s been all about cheetahs, so of course that theme showed up everywhere. She also requested that one of […]

When Ava Mae requested a unicorn theme for her third birthday, Drew and I couldn’t help but laugh—we weren’t even sure she knew what unicorns were! But I’m always up for a good party theme, and thanks to Target’s adorable party selection, decorating was a breeze. We had so much fun celebrating our special Ava […]

High school sweethearts Megan and Alex have grown tremendously together over the years, and it was clear to everyone—from their bridal party to their families—that they remain the perfect complement to one another. Their colorful, intimate wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. Jada from Bellagio Florals beautifully brought Chloe of CJM’s vision to life, with […]

Thanks to Grace Mackenzie Brown, born on Christmas day (talk about the best gift ever!), I’m officially an aunt!! She is as sweet as she can be and I had so much fun photographing an in home newborn session when I got to meet her for the first time! It has been such a joy […]

Chris and Kim are MARRIED! Their day was full of immense joy, personalized songs, great dance moves, and a very special couple. The Shelors said the two takeaways they were praying guests would leave thinking were: “Wow. I saw the beautiful picture of the Gospel presented today,” and “Hot dang, I had fun!” Without a doubt, both of these […]

Nora Sue is o-fish-ally FOUR! We had the best mermaid shellabration for our girl! Our kids wont always be into themed birthdays, but I’m loving it while they are & she had been requesting a mermaid theme for months leading up to it! The kids had fun painting treasure chests, eating yummy mermaid themed food, […]

It’s about time I shared this stunning inspiration shoot, featuring a hot air balloon, with you on my blog! Planner Chloe with CJM said it perfectly: “What started as an idea of a bride and groom in a hot air balloon turned into a whimsical fairytale placed in the middle of an open-field in Indiana. […]

Luke & Julia welcomed their precious baby girl and I had such a sweet time documenting them! Their adorable fur ball, Willie, stole the show a few times (just see what I mean below). Love these friends so much! Hope you enjoy a little recap of their session! Until next time friends! Cheers, Mon

Sydney and Paddack are MARRIED!! These two tied the knot at the historic and exclusive Meshewa House in Cincinnati, Ohio, surrounded by those closest to them. Nestled on 230 acres of land, Camargo Rentals built a beautiful sailcloth tent which was tastefully decorated by Covent Garden‘s florals and pheasant feathers, adding a personal touch for […]

Over the years I’m had the honor of photographing Brynn & Ethan’s proposal, engagement, wedding and now maternity session! It really has been such a JOY to celebrate so many moments and seasons of life with these two!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…Newfields is one of the BEST locations for sessions […]
