It has been a treat photographing them during all of their stages and after each kiddo. Without further ado, take a look ..read more

Introducing Morgan and Graham, engaged in 2022 These two cuties are now married. Separate blog post coming on that, but I adored everything about this proposal. Their pup was very much included and it was so much fun being on the secret. Graham asked that I give them space during the actual proposal, so it was fun to be sneaky while not really having anywhere to hide. After the big moment, we took some engagement photos. While it was cold, we laughed our way through it. So much fun ..read more

These two had the sweetest wedding planned over at Fishermen’s Inn in Elburn, IL. The day was filled with so many lovely moments and I was grateful for some help from my second photographer, Karina. She started out with the guys while I was with Emily and the ladies. Emotions were high and the first look was everything. I adored these two and getting to see a past wedding couple, who were in the wedding, was simply icing on the bundt cake. Congratulations, Emily and Chris! Thanks for having me! What a beautiful day, take a look ..read more

Third time is the charm when planning a wedding during a pandemic. Right? Like many of my 2020 couples, these two had to reschedule a couple of times before they made their May 2021 date and were finally able to keep it. They handled it with grace though and I loved working with them through all of it. My first full wedding back was small, but mighty and I loved it all. Jennifer and Chris got married at the Kenilworth Union church, which I found out was also where her parents married one another. And, the reception was on the Wilmette Harbor with views for days. I loved it all. So thoughtfully ..read more

Last fall, I photographed this creative soul for a new site that she was working on. I was so excited to take some time with her to create again… but, these lifestyle headshots were especially a blast.
