The “Front Porch” photo session trend is something I can fully get on board with. I love these homey little sessions, and this shoot with my lovely clients and their adorable pup was beyond fun. Also, I’m learning that I can do basically the equivalent to a full engagement session in 30 minutes or less, […]

Kristine & Topher Chicago, IL This fall has already been filled with so many beautiful engagements and wedding days with the most amazing couples. Many previews are on the way, but first I have Kristine and Topher’s city chic champagne fueled engagement pictures. Photos along the gardens of the Art Institute never disappoint and these […]

Amber & Terance Chicago, IL Amber and Terance’s engagement session was glam to the max! These two basically had celebrity status as we took photos throughout downtown Chicago. Amber glowed in her chic cocktail dress and Terance looked handsome in his tux. I had so much fun working with these two! Congratulations again on your […]

Winter Wonderland Inspiration for Your Engagement Photos Well, apparently we are skipping fall and going straight to winter this year in Chicago. With the snow on the ground today, I wanted to share a few ideas with those of you looking to incorporate winter and the holiday season into your engagement photos. Read all the […]

Helicopters, sea cliffs, puppies, oh my! I’ve worked with hundreds of couples over these last 10+ years, but it’s always extra special when I get to photograph my friends. I’ve been flying from coast to coast to coast to coast this year and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I started 2019 watching the […]

Meet Connie and Josh. I had the pleasure of capturing their love in one of their favorite places. It started off as a beautiful evening, and ending with a lightning storm overhead, but we had fun the whole way through. They’ll be tying the knot in a few weeks, and I think it’s safe to […]

Oh, California. I love you and your golden rays of sunshine! This year has been a busy travel year for me, and I’ve had plenty of fun photo shoot destinations along the way. This may surprise some people, but my most photographed client resides in Southern California. They’ve hired me twice in Chicago and four […]

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 […]
