If you follow my work/blog, you know that I LOVE to travel in the off-season. This year was full of amazing adventures in Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Colorado, California, and Nashville… just to name a few of my favorites. So you know that I have my 2015 off-season calendar full of exciting and new places to go. […]

We’re driving through Chicago on the trolley, Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off comes on the radio – and of course, everyone starts singing along. And as I’m snapping pictures of the cheers-ing, laughing, singing, and dancing – I notice something. I’m not hearing the usual off key scream-singing that I myself am guilty of when my […]

Ashley + Connor met the night before NYE while the rest of Chicago was at home resting up for the next night. Fate brought these two together at Justin’s on Southport though, and after ringing in the new year together the following night, they knew they had something special. Now you can find these two planning […]

Sarah + Greg chose their wedding date based on one thing… the Bears and Packers both having bye weeks that Sunday. As soon as I heard that – I knew this couple and wedding group was going to be tons of fun. The day was set at the historic Blackstone Hotel in the South Loop of Chicago. […]

Let’s just say that from the minute I saw on Facebook that Jacque + Tommy got engaged, I started checking my inbox desperately hoping to get an email from one of them about being their wedding photographer. So when that message finally popped up from Jacque – I couldn’t have been more excited to be a part of this special time […]

A Disney girl at heart, Carrie always envisioned her wedding day as a fairytale. And let me tell you – it was nothing short of that. From her wonderfully fluffy princess bridal gown, to “Be Our Guest” being played as dinner was served at the reception, to her beautiful big eyes that resemble all the Disney princesses’ (something I […]

Sydney + Ryan met me at the Lincoln Park Zoo Nature Boardwalk to get some photos along the South Pond area. Tree lined walkways and tall grass pastures fill the park this time of year, and Sydney + Ryan didn’t hesitate a moment before stepping right into the heart of things. Ryan, who dabbles in photography himself, […]

Kelly and Chris met a few years ago playing flag football. After the game, Chris walked Kelly home through the Lincoln Park Zoo South Pond – which he later revealed was actually in the opposite direction of where he lived…. smooth moves, Chris. After a few group dates, and an embarrassing misunderstanding where Chris mistook […]

This past May, Jay surprised Steph with a weekend trip to Redondo Beach, CA. Steph would make plans with friends for the weekend (not knowing Jay was going to steal her away), and Jay would have to call Steph’s friends and cancel in secret. When he finally did tell her what was going on – she […]

I met Kailey + Rob at one of my favorite locations to shoot in the city – the Lincoln Park Zoo South Pond Nature Boardwalk. Kailey expressed to me that she wanted engagement photos with some pretty trees, and some shots on the beach cuddling near the lake. As a lot of couples are, Kailey […]
