We live in a city with no shortage of gardens, parks, and public lakefront. Chicago is truly the gem in that way which makes it all the more fun to photograph. Kelly and Ryan are getting married later this year at Cafe Brauer. For their engagement photos, they wanted a romantic, city garden feel, so […]

Mary & Pat Newlywed Photos Chicago, IL My favorite bridge in Chicago also happens to be the bridge where it always smells like chocolate. Coincidence? I think not. Mary and Pat were married late May and we celebrated with a special “newlywed” portrait session a week later. Truth be told, we were hoping to take […]

You guys! I’m always honored you trust me to capture your wedding days, but even more so when you ask me to print your first family heirlooms. I put so much love into every one of these little albums. I hope it shows! Here’s another one for the books. Literally. Chelsie and Michael’s summer wedding […]

This photo just won a Belief Award! I know I might make my job look easy, but this photo truly took a village.

Sarah & Luke Bridgeport Art Center Chicago, IL Ah, Bridgeport. I always love working in this beautiful, light-filled Chicago loft space. Sarah and Luke wed on a picture-perfect summer day and we had so much fun with them.  

Alyssa and Steve’s Galleria Marchetti wedding day was a dream to design and print into an album. It turned out so beautifully we had to print not one, not two but three copies! One for the bride and groom and copies for each of their mommas. We wrapped the finished albums in ivory leather covers […]

Earlier this year, I reached out to every boudoir client I’ve ever worked with and asked them questions about what makes them feel loved, strong and beautiful. Their responses blew me away. What started as a simple idea, developed into a passion project and now a new extension of my business. I am OVER THE […]
