We're illuminare photography + cinematography and this blog/website serves as our initial meeting ground, allowing you to get to know us and our work a little better. While we have a portfolio section and frequently post blog highlights from our weddings and portrait shoots, we also keep the blog rolling with a bunch of various photos and videos that we do for ourselves when we're out just having a good time. We feel that it's important to share this side of ourselves and allow you to see who we are, how we work, and what we think is cool. So sit back, relax and have fun browsing around! And if you feel that we'd be a good match for you, we'd love to hear from you!

Imagine my surprise when Jillian called me up the other day and said… “I can’t believe you posted Harrison’s photos and forgot to post mine!” Well, I couldn’t believe it either! I promised her it was not a matter of favoritism, only that I had so many adorable shots because she is so amazingly cute...
Alyssa & Brian Koenen (Renee’s brother and sister in law) came down for a weekend earlier this month and we just had to take advantage and get some photos with everybody together. Whew! A one year old and a two year old can sure use up some energy! Not to fear, we had a blast...
I had the pleasure of photographing the Hefners with their newest addition. I shot Holden’s whole first year of photos and now it’s so cool to see him all grown up into a big kid! It was really sweet to watch him with his little brother, Hudson! It was so cute! I love shots of...
