Chicago Sunrise Newlywed Session – Ilnara & Kiko
Ilnara and Kiko’s session is one for the books. The newlyweds, who live in Denver, hopped on a plane to visit Chicago and get some portraits taken together! They got engaged last year in the Windy City and have since moved to Colorado where they tied the knot. Since both of their families live overseas, […]
Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve Engagement Session – Ali & Dan
Ali and Dan’s forest preserve engagement session was a welcome detour from the urban photography I’ve been immersed in lately. Don’t get me wrong – I love city living, and LOVE urban photography! But it never hurts to get back to nature once in a while. These lovebirds had been engaged for only a month […]
Chicago Trash the Dress Session – Laura & Adam
Laura and Adam. Where do I begin? I’ve known these two for several years, and they’re absolutely perfect for each other. I mean – you don’t even need to spend five minutes with them together and you’ll just know. They are some of the most honest, outspoken, fun-loving people I know and it’s always a […]
Summer Wisconsin Wedding at Hubbard Park Lodge – Jane & John
Jane and John’s Wisconsin Hubbard Park Lodge wedding took place on a lovely summer evening. Connecticut is their home, but because Jane is from – well, Janesville – they decided to make their wedding a destination Midwest getaway. Hubbard Park Lodge is one of my favorite spots in Milwaukee for a fish fry (and now […]
Chicago Beach Maternity Session – Angelina
September is here, September is here! As it happens, this month will bring many changes. For some, that means parenthood. Photographing Angelina was an absolute delight! She is so excited for baby Vera – her first! – to arrive later this month. We met for our session at 31st Street Beach a couple hours before […]
Lincoln Park Engagement Session at Dusk – Eunice & Kyle
Eunice and Kyle’s Lincoln Park engagement session was magical in ways I don’t think any of us expected. Their connection is undeniable – I know they could make each other laugh for hours! Between a series of mishaps and the sky beginning to drizzle, all signs pointed to “maybe we should reschedule?” but Eunice and […]
Chicago Wedding at Historic Thalia Hall – Mary & William
Mary and William’s Thalia Hall wedding in June was a big, joyous celebration. I met these two during the beginning stages of planning their New York style wedding. If you’re unfamiliar, a “New York style” wedding reception has regular dancing in between courses. For instance, the band or DJ plays a set, then salads are […]
Great Gatsby Wedding Styled Shoot | Hyde Park, Chicago
This spring I participated in a Great Gatsby wedding styled shoot at a private residence in Hyde Park. This was not my first styled shoot, but it was my first time experiencing one this extravagant! From the settings to the hors d’oeuvres to the models, everything was flawlessly executed! Would you believe our bride and groom […]
Downtown Milwaukee Wedding at Charles Allis Art Museum – Kaitlin & Evan
Kaitlin and Evan’s Milwaukee Charles Allis Art Museum wedding hit home for many reasons. I get excited every time I travel to my hometown for a wedding… but this one was extra special. It’s not every day I get to photograph the wedding of an old friend! As you may recall from their engagement session, […]

Hello, friends and readers! How is everyone?? I’ve been busy lately – wedding season is off to a fantastic start and summer has officially begun. Looking forward to catching up on some posts! Last month I got to hang out with Betty and Nick while she was in town from New York for their engagement […]
Rainy Day Logan Square Engagement Session – Kelly & Matt
Matt and Kelly’s Logan Square engagement session was such a blast! Chicago’s forecast called for rain at least a week before our session date – and to our surprise, that didn’t change. I’m so happy neither of us opted to reschedule – we embraced the weather, and – if I say so myself – had an awesome time […]
Sunny West Loop Engagement Session – Kate & Evan
I have known Evan for – let me see… fifteen years?! It’s true what they say, you know, about time. It flies! Evan and I used to wash dishes together as awkward teenagers at our part-time job in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Now that I think about it, he may have trained me on the job! Flash […]
