Last week, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Chicago Fashion Bloggers, Ticket & Tag, and Minnesota-based crochet accessories retailer, Kedrin. I had such a great time shooting with them, and I’m so excited to share the first of four crochet accessories that we styled looks for on those cold Chicago winters. The first is the Buck Turban – named after one of Chicago’s […]

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. So you know that I have my 2015 off-season calendar full of exciting and new places to go. […]

I wanted to share a quick peek into my brother and sister-in-law’s adorable baby shower for their soon to be daughter, Adrianna (and my soon to be first niece!). It was such a great day full of love from both sides of the family and friends. Ditka’s did an amazing job hosting the shower… the […]

I’m backpacking through Europe in less than a month (whoa!)… and of course I’m super excited about the incredible, once in a lifetime photos I’m going to be taking every step of the way. But, I was a little concerned about carrying my Canon 5D Mark iii everywhere with me since we’re going to be walking […]

Jackie + Mark have been part of the JTPhoto family since their beautiful fall Engagement Session back in October of 2012.  Their May 2013 Wedding was every bit of gorgeous and one of the biggest parties of the year! So it only made sense that we follow up one year later to celebrate their 1-year anniversary. […]

Mil and Kris live in L.A. and made the trip out to Chicago for the very first time this past weekend. They wanted to have professional pictures taken during their vacation so that they could show their future kids these photos one day – and hopefully inspire them to travel as well. Mil said she […]

I have an addiction. A serious obsession.  I just can’t get enough details. Beautiful florals, vintage china, food whose presentation is just as amazing as the taste. I love it all. And Chicago Event Planner Christine Janda at A Perfect Event knows how to pull them all together. I worked with her on a beautiful Asian […]

With the recent launch of my new website, I wanted to take this opportunity to make sure clients, friends, and family all know how to navigate through the updated client photo galleries and are aware of all the products available. All clients receive a private gallery where they can view, download, and share photos from their JTPhoto […]

I met Jessica + Frank on an especially chilly afternoon in February. It happened to Valentine’s Day so the air was a little more full of love that afternoon, but it wasn’t quite enough to keep us warm from the frigid Chicago winter. But Jessica + Frank toughed it out as we shot along the […]

This was my third time photographing the Dautovic family. It has become a yearly tradition to get together right around Aidin’s birthday (Halloween) for their family photo session. It’s something I look forward to every year…  even though the past two years have been FREEZING and all the fall leaves were gone. But this year, […]
