Hi, I'm Alanna!
I am so happy you’re here!
I am a photographer, mom of two, and nurse based in Kankakee, Illinois.
Being present for life’s most meaningful moments—both in my work and my own life—has shaped the way I see weddings. I don’t just see a beautiful day, I see the meaning behind it… the people, the promises, the beginning of something lasting.
I’m drawn to the real, unposed moments— the emotion, connection, the meaning behind it all.
My heart is in capturing your story honestly, so you can feel it all over again!
01.
Fact 1
I was born and raised in Kankakee, IL. I graduated from Kankakee High School in 2018 and began my nursing education at KCC. I now work at the local hospital as a L&D nurse. My roots run deep here in Kankakee!

Fact 2
My pride and joy is my family! I married my best friend Bryan in 2023 and between the two of us we have two daughters, 3 BIG rescue dogs, 1 horse, and we raise holland lop rabbits!
03.
Fact 3
I grew up playing travel softball ( I was a catcher)! Now I coach my daughter's t-ball team!
04.
Fact 4
I love lemonade. In fact I love it so much I decided to open a family lemonade business ( because I like my calendar FULL). We donate a portion of every profit towards a local cause and use it to contribute to our daughter's futures. We do serve at weddings FYI!
KIND WORDS
We booked Alanna for our wedding photographer and yesterday had the pleasure of taking engagement photos with her! Seriously could not recommend her enough, so sweet, and had such a great eye for photos and details! Due to some weather issues, we had to reschedule a couple of times and she was so accommodating and professional with the situation! Can’t wait to have her capture our big day!
