Seven years ago, when I started on my photography journey, I needed to practice. This girl, my bff since we were 13 – stepped in as my model. That was the first time I photographed her. Now, as we’re both approaching 31 this week – I photographed her once again, this time – with a […]

For the past few years, I admittedly avoided doing “newborn sessions”. I’d done the whole baby in a basket thing, but to be completely honest – I just didn’t like it (kudos to those that do it, though). For me, those photos didn’t really tell the story I wanted to tell – and I thought newborn […]

Priscilla + Ernesto call Chicago home. While they now live in Naperville and have lived in Iowa in the past – they spend a lot of time in the windy city with their families, friends, and especially each other. But in just a few weeks – they’re packing their bags (and their dog Tuka) and heading […]

I don’t normally photograph families, but I just coudln’t resist shooting baby Jordyn, my cousin, and her husband during my visit in Arizona. Jordy in that denim shirt and boots…. the cutest!! Blogged by popular demand, here are a few of my favorite shots of this beautiful family. Thanks for having me as a guest […]

I had a great time getting to know Molly during her senior portrait session in Oakbrook last week. It was the perfect day – snow was on the ground but it wasn’t too chilly, the sun was shining at the perfect level, and Molly was all smiles and fun as we snapped a few photos […]

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous high school senior, Clare. We’d never met before, but getting to know each other during the session was so much fun. We laughed, talked about her plans for the future, and all around had a great time. The weather was absolutely perfect, and […]

I rarely shoot family photos anymore as I’ve been lucky enough to focus on Weddings and Engagements, but when a little lady his cute turns one and just happens to also be my niece, how could I not snap a few pics? I won’t say much because her little face says it all – but […]

Mil + Kris… well these two, they hold a special place near and dear to my heart. We first met last year when they hired me to photograph them during their trip to Chicago from California. It was an immediate friendship, bonded over our love of food, travel, and experiencing the new. After our session, […]
