Are we friends yet?

For over 10 years now, I have been perfecting my craft as a wedding and portrait photographer.  I have traveled all over the world for my work - and here, you'll see the stories behind my travels (if I can remember to post!) I hope you'll sit back, relax + stay a while!

Welcome, I'm Adrienne!

When I started my photography company in 2011, I never dreamed of all the weddings and engagements I would cover on the South Carolina + Georgia coasts, or all the incredible southern couples I would meet.  Living in Atlanta and working as a full time counselor, I found myself traveling almost every other weekend to […]

This boy. Love him so!  One last round of photos while he still has his gorgeous little curls.  I’m going to have a hard time letting go of them!

Maria is a former co-worker of my husband’s, and seriously one of my favorite people we’ve met here in Illinois, so when she asked about getting photos done of her family- including her adorable birthday boy (#2!!!), I jumped at the chance!  Maria is beautiful inside and out, as is evidenced by the love and […]

Every age that my children are becomes my new favorite age, well… with a few exceptions (temper tantrum 2’s!!!!! ha!)  Truly though, watching these little humans grow from those little bitty babes that we couldn’t believe we were taking home with us, to these little personalities so full of fun and life and everything that […]

On what was very likely the coldest day of 2018, Linda + Roland were married in front of their closest family and friends, in a small, intimate New Year’s Day wedding celebration at the United Methodist Church of Williamsfield.  Linda is hands down, one of my favorite people that I’ve met in our time in […]

The Delafields recently moved to Illinois from Arizona, and lucky for us, we got to meet them through our local preschool where Alicia, the mom, is a teacher.  We have had so much fun working with Alicia as she teaches our son, Kai, and are forever indebted to her for all the help and assistance […]

No matter how much I love the south or long to live at the beach, I was a raised a city girl through and through.  Black fabric wins out over bows or monograms any day of the week.  When I saw the Batistas cutting across the park on the day of our fall photo shoot, […]

Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that represents so much more for me than just turkey, pie, and catching up with friends and family (though all of those are amazing, let’s be real).  To me, the Thanksgiving holiday is a celebration of exactly how we should aim to live our lives- with a spirit of […]

Stefanie and I met at a local park just over a year ago, and I think it’s safe to say it was friendship at first sight.  Add to the mix that we are both mommas to two little (and quite energetic) boys each, we’re both Galesburg transplants, and we’re both married to academics (well, hers […]
