A Meaningful Engagement Session

Nick and Adriana will tie the knot in 2026, and I couldn’t be more excited for them. I’ll be standing by their side as a bridesmaid! I’m looking forward to celebrating their big day, though it will be hard to resist pulling out my camera to capture all the moments.

Three Unique Locations, One Beautiful Story

For their engagement photos, we chose three distinct locations: Goshen, Elkhart, and South Bend, Indiana. Each place offered something different, allowing us to capture the full range of their personalities and the love they share. From the charming streets of downtown South Bend to the serene beauty of Elkhart’s flower fields, their photos reflect the unique story of their relationship.

Why Engagement Photos Matter

Engagement photos tell the story of who you are as a couple. Whether you’re exploring the downtown area of South Bend, enjoying an intimate studio shoot, or having fun in a flower field in Elkhart, Indiana, your photos should reflect your connection. As a photographer in Elkhart, Indiana, I focus on making every moment memorable and personal.

Let’s Capture Your Moments

I'm Chaeney!

hi there!

I'm a lifestyle photographer serving the michiana area. I specialize in family, engagement, senior, fresh 48, maternity, & milestone photography.

Photography is more than just taking pictures; it's about telling a story. I focus on capturing real, raw, and emotional moments that reflect the unique bond between each family. I aim to make my sessions fun, relaxed, and comfortable so that you can feel at ease in front of the camera.



I have been married for over three years and have two babies of my own. I am a big lover of Gilmore Girls, thrift shopping, ice cream and spending time with my little family.

As a mom myself, I completely understand how hard it is to get in front of the camera. You want to capture every moment but often miss out on being in the photos yourself. Let me take the stress out of it and do the hard work for you! Together, we’ll create beautiful, authentic  lifestyle photos of your family that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Ready to capture those special moments?
