My final post from The Real Workshop excursion this month features a styled shoot at Utah wedding venue The 5th Floor. This was such a cool space to work in, right downtown Ogden. It’s also where the education portion of the workshop took place! Shout out to Haley Nord and Emily of The Hatches Photo […]

For my next post from The Real Workshop: Christie and Brandon’s sunrise engagement session at the Bonneville Salt Flats! Utah is one incredible state, I must say. You’ve got desert, mountains, and some of the most incredible natural phenomenons I’ve ever seen in person. I’d only ever driven through the salt flats in summertime… they […]

I began my year in photography by taking a red-eye flight to Salt Lake City, Utah for The Real Workshop excursion. I’ve made it my new goal to try one new workshop a year, so here we go, 2019! Basically, I got off the plane, slept a few hours, and then jumped straight into fun […]

It’s almost mid-January, but I’m sure I’m not alone hanging on to those warm and fuzzy holiday vibes! Ashley & Scott’s December engagement session started at Garfield Park Conservatory, and the holiday show was “Tickled Pink.” We met shortly after they opened and got to explore some of my favorite spots… and a few new […]

As 2018 comes to an end, I’ve made a point to go through all my wedding and engagement photos from the entire year. That’s right! Every. Single. One. Which means: if I photographed your wedding or engagement session in 2018 (or both!), you’re in here!! I’ll be honest, it was tough to choose my favorites, […]

September has always been my biggest wedding month. This year, I got to start it off with Melissa & Anand’s Room 1520 wedding! Their awesome fusion wedding day included both Hindu and Catholic traditions. In fact, they had TWO ceremonies, two wardrobe changes, two sets of formal photos… and one giant CELEBRATION!! This was such […]

Looking back on Melanie & Brad’s Door County engagement session, I’d have to say it was one of Fall’s highlights. At the end of October, we traveled to Wisconsin’s peninsula for a sunrise session that could not have been more picture-perfect! It wasn’t easy, though – if you’re familiar with that part of the Midwest […]

Rachel and Mike’s Chicago restaurant wedding at The Bristol was planned in a mere nine weeks. It’s true! Mike proposed on Mother’s Day of this year, and these two were so excited to wed they just couldn’t wait! They wanted their celebration to include those closest to them, as well as delicious food and a cocktail-centric […]

On the last morning of September, I met Christy and Natalie at Olive Park for their downtown Chicago engagement session. New Chicago residents (they just moved from Memphis earlier this year), the skyline was a must for photos! These two were full of excitement, laughter and love – everything I adore about engagement sessions. We […]

Jen and Pete’s Chicago Riverwalk engagement session was a ton of fun! We began at the Lurie Garden on a lovely summer evening. The three of us were on foot and eager to explore! We hung out on the Riverwalk, made an appearance at the Island Party Hut, and then headed to DuSable Harbor. This […]
