One of the biggest things I’ve learned in this business is the importance of networking. Learning from more experienced photographers, sharing the knowledge I’ve gained with newer ones, and making friends along the way has probably been the biggest factor to influence my business. A few weeks ago, a photographer that I met at Jasmine […]

Back at it again with all my ladies of the Photography Stylistas! I won’t say much because I’m chomping at the bit for all of you to see the photos, but I have to give special thanks to everyone involved. Our amazing vendors, models, and stylists… NONE of it would have been possible without the […]

Well, it’s a few days into December but better late than never, right? It’s been a record breaking month. My blog reached new highs as I reached over 500 viewers in just one month. I just booked my 6th wedding for 2013, which means I doubled my goal for 2012 before I even set a […]

Kim and I go back to our days at the University of Illinois in Gamma Phi Beta (<3 in PKE! ha.). Although we hadn’t spoken or seen each other since our college days, Kim reached out to me one day informing me of her engagement to her long time boyfriend, Andy. She had been following my […]

I met the S Family in their beautiful home not far outside of Chicago. We started shooting throughout various places in the house, moving furniture to find the best lighting, and changing Baby S into the cutest little outfits. A santa outfit, plaid hat, Christmas stocking, and even a St. Louis Cardinals onsie… I loved […]

I won’t say much because I think the photos speak for themselves, but I will say this. I went to Utah in heart of my busy season… I left two weddings to edit at home, and came home to six shoots in seven days. For me, this wasn’t easy. But there was a bigger goal […]

I first photographed Amela, Arslan, and their son Aidin exactly one year ago on Aidin’s first birthday. We had a mini outdoor photo shoot followed by a not-so-successful first birthday cake eating shoot (Aidin ended up being absolutely terrified of the cake and wanted nothing to do with it haha). We created some fun, memorable […]

I met Priyam and Vinay through a mutual friend from college. For weeks, Vinay and I exchanged emails back and forth trying to find a date that worked for all of three of us. This proved to be somewhat difficult since Priyam and Vinay aren’t in the same location for more than a few months at […]

Diana and Edgar’s love began long before their Chicago fall wedding, and they weren’t about to let a little rain put a damper on something that’s been growing for over a decade. You see, Diana and I drove to basketball practice together in high school. We’ve shared endless car rides filled with conversations about her […]

I first photographed Gavin and Aubrey in September of 2011 to capture some maternity photos. A year later, we played around a forest preserve near their house as their baby girl Kendall and beloved dog Maisy joined us for some photo shoot fun in the fall leaves. Gavin and Aubrey, congratulations on such an adorable […]
