Summer in Chicago Neighborhood Engagement Session – Eliza & Patrick

Eliza and Patrick’s engagement session started in their neighborhood – particularly on their street! They love the greenery and summer vibe near their home (can you blame them?!), so we got to play and even had an impromptu dance party! These two were a ton of fun to hang out with!! We headed to Wicker […]

Warehouse 109 Wedding Styled Shoot with Jewel Tones and Summer Rain

At the end of May, an incredibly talented group of wedding vendors came together at Warehouse 109 in Plainfield, Illinois.

Kenley and Adam’s vow renewal ceremony this month was one of the most unique sessions I’ve ever photographed. And not just because it was my first vow renewal.

Colorful Chicago Engagement Session in Lincoln Park – Sam & Eric

Sam and Eric’s spring Chicago engagement session was a fantastic way to start my season. The trees were just beginning to bud after our (extremely long/never-ending) winter, and daffodils were making their annual debut in Lincoln Park. Sam’s colorful spring dress was the perfect addition to our session – and as you can see, she […]

Great Central Brewing Company Wedding Styled Shoot

A few weeks ago I met with a handful of Chicago vendors for what turned into a super fun, super-chic bridal shoot at Great Central Brewing Company.

Wisconsin Wedding Styled Shoot + Rad Photographers Retreat

A couple of weeks ago (just before that seasonably appropriate Midwestern snow storm) I traveled to Waupaca, Wisconsin for my first Rad Photographers Retreat. These few days were filled with education, friendship, delicious food (thank you, Sulten Belly!!), and a killer Wisconsin wedding styled shoot! Each day the schedule included guest speakers and relaxing activities like […]
