Delaney & Lane

03.20.2027

Delaney and Lane are absolutely adorable together.

Their engagement session took place on Lane’s family cattle farm, with a creek bed, open wildflower field, warm sunlight, and a friendly herd of cows roaming nearby. The setting felt natural and relaxed, matching the easy way they are together.

After time spent long distance, they truly cherish the moments they get to share. I enjoyed getting to know them and capturing these quiet, joyful glimpses of the life they’re building. I cannot wait to spend more time with them on their wedding day next year!

Hey, I’m Kate!

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. 

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.
