Lakefront Brewery Engagement Session – Lizzie & Lucas

Lucas and Lizzie’s dreamy Milwaukee engagement session was such a treat. These two have lived in Chicago together for several years, but their story began in (my hometown) Milwaukee! Of course, we thought – what better place to take their engagement photos? We made the trek one Friday in early December, and it was one […]

Downtown Memphis Engagement Session – Amalia & Eric

I was so excited to finally meet Eric and Amalia for their Memphis engagement session last month. In fact, I believe the morning I left Chicago was our first snowfall of the season! Needless to say, I was more than happy to head south for a bit 🙂 Amalia and Eric have known each other […]

Surprise Rooftop Proposal at The Robey Chicago – Isaac & Amy

Isaac first contacted me about a month ago, knowing a few things for certain: he was going to ask Amy to marry him, he wanted his surprise proposal documented, and she couldn’t suspect it no matter what!

Liz and Jen’s Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool wedding ceremony was everything they wanted it to be: intimate, peaceful, and surrounded by loved ones.

Kelly & Matt’s Logan Auditorium Wedding and Rock Show

When Kelly and Matt first told me about their wedding plans, I was instantly excited for them. First, they wished to tie the knot in a private ceremony at Logan Theatre.

Wisconsin Fall Engagement Session at Apple Holler – Ashley & Brett

One very sunny day in late October, I met Ashley and Brett at Apple Holler Farm for an adorable Wisconsin engagement session. I admit, I have passed by this place countless times while commuting between Milwaukee Chicago. Never had the opportunity to check it out! I know – I can hardly believe it either! Turns […]

Woodland Couples Maternity Session – Erika & Brandon

Erika and Brandon are two of the kindest, sweetest people you will ever meet. I met them through the photography industry last year (photographing another photographer can feel like a lot of pressure!), and was so happy for them when I heard that they were expecting! For their photos, they preferred the woodland/nature feel to […]

Bristol Renaissance Faire Wedding – Gretchen & Michael

Gretchen and Michael’s Bristol Renaissance Faire wedding was more fun than I could have dreamed. I don’t get to photograph a lot of theme weddings, and this one made up for that! When Gretchen was a little girl, she told her mother that she’d get married at the Renaissance Faire. Although she may not remember […]
