Let’s go back to warmer days as we’re in the heart of winter… this one with Brittany + Pat was one of the hottest weddings of 2021… so hot that we only did portraits outside and in the shade under the bridges for 15 minutes before we just couldn’t take the heat anymore – but […]

We love capturing families as they are – playful, imperfectly perfect, and totally themselves. That’s what we did with the W family (also great, long time friends of mine!) last May… I am just catching up on shoots from last year on the blog – and this adorable family is up first (they’ve even added […]

Megan and Marcus wanted to spend their engagement session in their neighborhood to make it special… so we went to the pedestrian bridge where they walked throughout the pandemic, and ended the session at their home snuggling on the couch, and in the kitchen in the exact spot they got engaged. As good friends of […]

The H family reached out for some family photos this past spring… their only requirement – we take the photos somewhere a little more unique than your standard forest preserve or trail. I racked my brain for new ideas – but being new to Downers Grove, I wasn’t sure of the area. So, I scouted […]

Ali, Nathan, and I walked around the Chicago Riverwalk, and stopped at a few meaningful places along the way for their engagement session. We started at Millennium Park, walked to the Wrigley Building, shot along the river, and even stopped at the exact spot where Nathan asked Ali to marry him (he even got down […]

Lauren + Joe met at IU 5 years ago, but didn’t really know each other or hang out. After college, they both moved to Chicago where a bunch of IU alums became friends and hung out. This brought them both to an apartment party where they instantly hit it off and started dating 2 weeks […]

Our team photographer, Nicki, spent an evening with Brooke + Todd walking around Lincoln Park and some of their favorite places. The views at the Lincoln Park Nature Boardwalk are always some of favorites, especially when you pair it with the dresses that Brooke rocked! The skyline view from North Avenue beach is pretttttttty unbeatable. […]

In honor of the above average temps for June this past weekend and the unbearable humidity – we’re throwing it back to (much) cooler days when the lake was still frozen over and snow/ice still covered our streets. Juliette + Vahan braved the cold weather this past winter for some epic engagement photos. They (we) […]

We just photographed Brittany + Pat’s wedding over the weekend – so we had to share a few from their engagement session! We love these two – they are so happy, fun, down for whatever, and most of all – IN LOVE… photographing them was like hanging out with a couple in a rom-com. Just […]

If there was one great thing that 2020 showed us, it was how much we love capturing Chicago elopements and small weddings. Heather + Dan, like almost everyone last year, were forced to postpone their wedding date, and when their second wedding date came around and we were still without a vaccine/large events weren’t allowed […]
