After getting engaged during a spring storm, it only felt fitting that our original photo location ended up being completely taken over by construction equipment and dumpsters. But these two trusted the process, rolled with every change, and we quickly found new spots that ended up being even better than the original plan.
The whole evening felt easy and joyful as we explored, laughed, and got to know each other. It didn’t take long to notice how naturally these two fit together and how much Adam adores Hannah. Spending the evening with them was such a joy, and I already can’t wait to celebrate them again on their wedding day next year!
Hannah and Adam’s engagement session couldn’t have been sweeter!

Over the last 15 years of documenting my couples on the best day of their lives, I’ve met so many amazing people who quickly turned into friends. I hope that can be our story, too.
On the rare occasion that I’m not capturing a special moment, you can catch me spending my time with an incredible man who makes me laugh until I cry. I also tend to believe that a house is not a home until paw prints paint the floors. And admittedly, I cry at most movies, especially the romantic ones. Editing days consist of Dr. Pepper and take-out, while days off require country drives and visiting local wineries to listen to live music and take in a golden sunset. Hands down, it’s one of the best parts about Central Illinois.
A photographer who’s passionate about natural light, making sure my couples feel cared for, iced white mochas, and my boys Dustin, Murphy, and Auggie.
Hey, I’m Kate!
