Tayler + Luke. What can I say about them… they’re obviously gorgeous, SO much fun, and just kind people. They welcomed me into their home to photograph where they’ve been spending most of the pandemic… snuggled up on their cozy couch in their West Loop high rise condo, curled up in Tay’s favorite little reading […]

Covid-19 really made 2020 interesting for those trying to get married. Post-poned weddings, micro-weddings, elopements, cancellations… these are just a few of the challenges that were thrown at 2020 couples. But, Melissa + Brad made the best of a difficult situation (okay, maybe many), and came out looking and feeling fabulous on the day of. […]

Karen + Dan put their total trust in letting me choose the location for their engagement session. They didn’t want any of the typical spots around Chicago, and wanted their session to feel unique and true to them. I knew exactly where to take them, as I had been eyeing these spots for years around […]

Donna + Ricky were supposed to get married at Lacuna Lofts last November but, like most 2020 couples trying to get married, had to push their big wedding to 2021. On top of the wedding juggling they were already doing, they last minute decided to have a micro-wedding at one of their favorite local patios, […]

Austin + Brett were all set to get married at The Hive on Hubbard before Covid-19 happened. Plans changed, chaos ensued (for the entire world) – but they didn’t skip a beat. Their plans quickly changed and they adapted as gracefully as ever. Their Hive on Hubbard wedding transformed into a beautiful Logan Square backyard […]

2020 has brought its fair share of hardships. From bush fires in Australia, to Covid-19, to murder hornets, to social injustices (I think it’s important to note here that we fully support the Black Lives Matter movement and encourage everyone to continue to listen and learn with us) — it has been hard to stay […]

We were lucky enough to get this Engagement Session in right before the shelter in place started… and it was the perfect session to hop around to some fun Logan Square spots. Austin + Brett’s favorite, Hopewell Brewing, was the starting place with their pup, Kaiju, before heading to Logan Hardware for some games, and […]

I spent Leap Year morning with David + Michael (and 100 other couples) at City Hall (oh the days before social distancing!). We waited in line, chatted about their decision to elope and escape to Portugal for a week, got them married with the kindest judge, walked along the riverfront, and ended the morning with […]

Today, we’re looking back into early 2020, when we were still hugging, celebrating weddings, and social distancing zoom calls weren’t a thing. This one holds a special place in my heart as it’s the wedding of my sister-in-law and new brother-in-law, Jolyn + Michael. I was lucky enough to be in the wedding party, so […]

More than ever, these images are probably looking more and more familiar. Hanging at home on the couch, drinking your favorite cocktails, spending extra quality time with the fur babies. The shelter in place has given us all extra time with our loved ones/roommates–and I’ve seen people getting creative with ways to stay busy. Taking […]
