We began at the fairgrounds where they’ll be getting married later this year, then ended the evening in TJ’s grandparents’ backyard… both such meaningful places to them. It may have been a chilly spring day, but the sunshine showed up, and these two made it so easy to capture their love. And of course, Benjamin completely stole the show 🐾
Getting to spend the evening with Natalie and TJ was such a joy, and I already can’t wait to celebrate them later this year!
Natalie & TJ’s engagement session was so special from start to finish!

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!
