CENTRAL ILLINOIS SPRINGFIELD ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER Kayt + Travis | Promised

We are heading into a really busy fall season (as any photographer will agree with!) and for us, it is mostly engagement sessions this year!  It was so fun to meet with this couple for a late summer session before it all takes off, and I just could not have enjoyed the evening before.  Kayt and Travis are just fun together- and they wrap others up in it.  I loved learning a bit about their story (and trying to decipher who was truly interested first and how they came together after being friends for a long time).  They made me laugh hearing that Kayt’s mama told Kayt for years that she was making a mistake by not dating her friend Travis, and that they met Travis when he went to Kayt’s hometown during college to do a guy-girl alumni dance for Kayt’s old dance team.  The proposal story is funny, but ends with a sweet gesture of a painted wall that is still painted today in their new home, reminding them every day of the promise they are taking together. I just cannot wait for their wedding next year!  Beyond all that, they photograph extremely well together and were total pros at this- even if they didn’t know it! It made it just so fun and easy for me! Meet Kayt and Travis!

Love this light!! Who doesn’t love a horse guest in their engagement pictures?! 🙂 Out to the Gum farm, which still takes my breath away after all these years! This ring on the right was given to Kayt’s mom, by her dad, when Kayt was born.  And now given to Kayt as she marries the love of her life. I mean…come on!!! Favorites! LOVED this bracelet of Kayt’s! Kayt and Travis, I LOVED seeing you guys again and getting to know you a bit! I hope you love these- your full gallery is coming soon!!

As a past high school teacher, I have a major heart for education. After going full time in my business, I have built a business I love that gives me an almost 6 figure salary and allows me to be home part time with my kids.  I dream for you to run a business that enhances your life and lights you up, and I believe I can help you learn how to do it with a little hustle and a lot of heart!

You're in the right place!  As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business!  I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).

I'm so glad you are here!  Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!  I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
