Congratulations to my good friends, Katelyn + Matt on their Engagement! Days like this remind me how blessed I am to do what I do. I get to be a part of some of the most special times in people’s lives… and when those people are friends that I’ve known for years – it […]

Mary Grace + Brian are tying the knot in March, but before the big day, we wanted to spend some time just having fun and getting to know each other from behind and in front of the camera. We hung out around the Lincoln Park Zoo Nature Boardwalk, a place that isn’t too far from […]

55 emails later, we shot their engagement session. Rita and Paul knew what they wanted for their e-session. They wanted snow, they wanted a Chicago theme, and they were willing to wait for it. The same can be said for their relationship. Paul and Rita have been dating for four and a half years, and […]

Courtney + John met at the University of Dayton, OH and got engaged this past winter. Being that we were in Montana, they wanted to feature the beautiful cabins we were staying in, as well as their matching LL Bean boots. We had originally scheduled a sunset shoot, but Mother Nature threw us a curveball […]

As the founder of Chicago Pizza Club, Stacey loves her pizza. So when Ryan got her a pizza Christmas ornament, she couldn’t wait to put it on the tree. And when she turned around after hanging her new favorite ornament, she found Ryan down on one knee asking her to be his wife. I was […]

If you follow my work/blog, you know that I LOVE to travel in the off-season. This year was full of amazing adventures in Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Colorado, California, and Nashville… just to name a few of my favorites.

Ashley + Connor met the night before NYE while the rest of Chicago was at home resting up for the next night. Fate brought these two together at Justin’s on Southport though, and after ringing in the new year together the following night, they knew they had something special. Now you can find these two planning […]

Let’s just say that from the minute I saw on Facebook that Jacque + Tommy got engaged, I started checking my inbox desperately hoping to get an email from one of them about being their wedding photographer. So when that message finally popped up from Jacque – I couldn’t have been more excited to be a part of this special time […]

Sydney + Ryan met me at the Lincoln Park Zoo Nature Boardwalk to get some photos along the South Pond area. Tree lined walkways and tall grass pastures fill the park this time of year, and Sydney + Ryan didn’t hesitate a moment before stepping right into the heart of things. Ryan, who dabbles in photography himself, […]

Kelly and Chris met a few years ago playing flag football. After the game, Chris walked Kelly home through the Lincoln Park Zoo South Pond – which he later revealed was actually in the opposite direction of where he lived…. smooth moves, Chris. After a few group dates, and an embarrassing misunderstanding where Chris mistook […]
