My friends Ashley + Nick are just the cutest, and they have the cutest story to go with that. They’re high school sweethearts – first loves that went their separate ways during college and young adulthood, only to find their way back to each other years later (thank you LinkedIn!) and immediately fell back in […]

Lauren + Frank met after college through mutual friends. Earlier this year, they got engaged on their way to see Hamilton. Frank brought the ring with him, and the plan was to pop the question after dinner and Hamilton, but he was so nervous that he only managed to walk halfway to dinner before getting […]

My friends, Jen + Tyler, met playing kickball a few years ago at the Lincoln Park fields near the North Ave. Beach. Since then, they’ve both retired their kickball shoes and spend more of their time at Wrigley Field being bleacher bums cheering on the Cubbies. Jen + Tyler are getting married in November and […]

Meghan + Tim met at Wheaton College and got engaged this past March. They are both very musical and creative souls – ones that are comfortable in front of the camera and with each other. They weren’t afraid to hug, laugh, kiss, show any form of affection, and just be. happy. together. MY FAVORITE types of […]

The first thing Nikki said when she got out of her car was – “I’m SO nervous!” I can’t tell you how many times I hear this from couples (I’ve had a few couples take a shot or two before coming – I don’t hate that idea!). But really, you have NOTHING to worry about. As […]

Melissa + Alex got engaged along the gorgeous tree-lined path along Lake Michigan/in front of the Field Museum/Shedd Aquarium. What better place than that to start our Engagement Session than to take it back to where it all started. It’s a meaningful place to them, since they live in the area, and have walked the […]

I met Winelyn + Marco for the first time just outside Olive Park, right before their Engagement Session. Within minutes, we were talking and laughing like old friends – and they opened up in front of my camera to be their adorable selves. They were a little nervous – as are most couples before the […]

I absolutely adore when couples take the time to think of a spot for their engagement session that truly represents them and their relationship. For Melissa + Jack, it was Heritage Bicycles and a few stops outside for some Christmas tree scenery. Jack is an avid cyclist, and Melissa loves Christmas, so we hit up a […]

I met Tori + Ryan at Wheaton’s Danada House with their pup. It was a most gorgeous summer night, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful backdrop, not to mention the stunning, happy couple. Tori + Ryan, I’m super excited to work together. From our meeting at Soho House, to your emails, to […]

Ali + Alex. They are almost too gorgeous for words. But I will say that their beauty is matched by their inner beauty… I had an absolute blast getting to know them a little better during their Engagement Session at the Adler Planetarium. We dodged some Pokemon Go-ers, played along the lake for some skyline […]
