Meet my boyfriend, Danny.He works around my crazy schedule, calms me down when I can’t even see him through the flowing tears, and was actually the one who encouraged me to pursue photography not as a hobby, but as a legitimate business. Two years ago, he knew nothing about wedding photography – or photography in […]

I love my clients. I don’t say it enough, but I really am blessed with the most beautiful, supportive, fun, and appreciative clients. The kind words that have been shared with me after shoots via email, text, Facebook, and Yelp! truly make all my hard work worth it in an instant. Unfortunately, Yelp! uses an […]

I recently blogged about my photography goals for the new year. But I figured, since the point of this blog is for my past, present, and future clients to get to know the person behind the camera, I should share my personal goals – personal as in, my life outside photography. Hard to believe I […]

I can’t put into words how amazing of a year 2012 has been. I’ve seen my business grow more ways than I ever thought was possible in such a short amount of time, and it only makes me incredibly excited to see what 2013 brings. What started out as a hobby two years ago, has […]

Just a little compilation of what the past week entailed of. LOTS of Christmas joy, that’s for sure 🙂 Christmas city date at Hotel Amalfi and Brookfield Zoo Lights <3… Christmas Party with my girls = TONS of food, sweatpants, multiple bottles of wine, and no makeup (hence no faces in the pics! ha I […]

A while back, Elyce + Dan met at a karaoke bar. Elyce went on stage, started singing Dan’s “go-to” karaoke song – and Dan couldn’t resist introducing himself to the pretty girl that stole his spotlight. And after hours of dancing, singing, and drinking – the rest is history. Fast-forward to December of 2012, and […]

I couldn’t be happier that my “off-season” comes at a time that should be spent with those closest to you. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been so blessed to have more free time to spend with friends that I haven’t seen because of my busy schedule – and I can’t wait to spend the […]

As the year comes to an end and the photo shoots start winding down, I’ve had some time to reflect on what an amazing year it has been. Here are my 12 best/worst moments of 2012 🙂 1. Happiest Moment: Doubling the number of weddings I booked in 2012 for 2013, and I’m still going! […]

Being that in 2012 I didn’t offer printing services to any clients other than brides/grooms, I don’t often get to see the fruits of my labor in print. Sure, I look at the hundreds of photos I take after the family session, cull them down to around 50+, edit each photo, and then post the […]

When I heard the wedding I was second shooting for Brittany Bekas Photography was sending me to Melrose Park to photograph the boys, I wondered if I’d randomly know someone or if my friends Sammie and Dom (who lives in Melrose Park) would know them. Then I pulled up to the house and saw a familiar face…. […]
