DYLAN + MEGHAN: MARRIED | JACKSONVILLE, IL OUTDOOR FARM WEDDING Country and Baseball themed Buena Vista Farms Wedding in Chapin, IL
They live in Wisconsin (a state that I LOVE) and she grew up on a dairy farm. They appreciate the slower pace of the small town life, and value real time with those they love. I adored Meghan the first time I met her and her mother for coffee, and loved her even more when I saw her with her Dylan at their engagement session. I adored Dylan immediately as well, because as much as he dislikes getting his picture taken, he was a champion at both his engagement session and his wedding day, for Meghan. They are sweet apart but together, they are absolutely beautiful. My husband remarked as we drove away from their beautiful wedding day that it was so clear how much everyone adored them, and they each other. And it is so true.
Their wedding day dawned sunny after a week’s promise of rain (I am sensing a theme with weddings this year!), and it was an absolutely beautiful day from beginning to end. Kids playing in the lawn of the beautiful venue, gorgeous details, and so so much love.

These boutonnieres were awesome- I loved them so much that I am writing a post about them soon!
Meghan worked so hard- harder than any bride I have seen to make sure Dylan’s interest were incorporated into the details- it was SO fun to see! I absolutely love how much she cared that he was represented too! 
I had a lot of fun with their invitations 🙂
Meghan, you are a beautiful bride!
First look time–such special moments!

I'm also a photography educator, wife to my favorite person on the planet, mama to 3 amazing kids and an energetic Aussie, and obsessed with statement jewelry and all desserts (especially fruit pies!).
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!).
LOVE! all of them are perfect, just like the wedding day!
