Where to even begin? So far, this year has been a whirlwind of new and exciting experiences – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From L.A., to Colorado, straight to Arizona… I’ve been taking advantage of a little time off before the craziness of wedding season ensues. Every new experience tops the next […]

If I had to describe this trip in one word, it would be crunchy. Yes, crunchy. Spending a few days in Colorado, I learned some new words: epic, sketch, bomb… but my favorite by far is crunchy because there isn’t a better word to describe how fun this trip was. For 4 years now, I’ve […]

Last year at WPPI I connected with Ryan Moore Photography, and we’ve been photog buds ever since (and sometimes even workout buddies getting our butts kicked at Nike Training Bootcamp). So when he asked me to second shoot for him at the end of last year I said, “heck yes!” without blinking an eye. And yeah… […]

Back in November, I was brought on to shoot with Rebecca Peplinksi Photography to photograph wedding details at Lincoln Park Zoo’s Cafe Brauer. Shooting at this incredible location was a first for me – hopefully a first of many. The space was just beautiful, and the details… well I completely understand why a third photographer was brought […]

I get a lot of people asking me what equipment I use, what my favorite lenses are, and what I recommend. I am in no way saying I know it all and everyone should do what I do… but I figured I’d write a little blog sharing what my favorite pieces of equipment are and […]

With the next few months being my off-season for weddings, I decided to take this time off to travel. Over the next few weeks I’ll be in California, Colorado, and Arizona… keeping it all in the Southwest before heading out to Europe for a mid-year getaway in June! The first trip on the 2014 docket… […]

For the past 4 years, my friends and I have gone on local ski/snowboard trips up to Merrimac, WI and Galena, IL in hopes of honing our shredding skills before making the trip out west. Well 2014 is finally the year and the trip out to Colorado is just a few weeks away. So before […]

A few months ago, Stephanie stumbled across my Chicago wedding photography page on Yelp!, realized we had a few mutual friends after looking me up on Facebook, and emailed me before meeting up at a local Starbucks (gosh I love social media and the internet!). We decided do the engagement session where Tim first popped the question… […]

I love a good rush. White water rafting in Colorado, jumping out of a perfectly good plane, zip lining through the mountains, hang-gliding over Wisconsin… I’ve done it all. But this shoot? I was terrified. Carrie + Ryan thought it would be a good idea to ice-skate for part of their winter engagement session. When […]

Once in a while, people remind me how much good there is in the world and it makes me remember how truly kind we can be to one another. I always say I have the best clients – they’re supportive, generous, and never cease to amaze me with their thoughtful words and actions. Well a […]
