Even though Melissa + Jasper live in Greenville, SC… their love started in Chicago 9 years ago, so they decided to celebrate their 3-year anniversary in the Windy City. I think I had way too much fun running around the city with these two. I barely had to direct them as they were so into […]

Working with Momentum Worldwide always promises to be an interesting night. The events are fun, the people are great, and the drinks are always tasty. I first worked with them last year at the Hendrick’s Gin Voyages to the Unusual event at Salvage One – which if you missed it, be sure to keep an […]

A lot of rainy days sprinkled with sunny days few and far between – and it’s July already. June. What can I say about June. I had high hopes for this month, it being my birthday month and all – and well, let’s just say I learned a lot about myself and made some HUGE […]

When I asked Karen how she find me… she couldn’t remember if it was The Knot, Style Me Pretty, or one of the many wedding blogs… all she knew was she loved my work. And when clients’ get my style – I know it’s a match made in photo heaven. Karen, a speech pathologist from Hong Kong […]

Today’s blog is in honor of HBO’s True Blood starting this past Sunday – and because my cat happened to bust out a huge yawn right at the moment I was trying to take a picture of her. This Moment of the Month – my vampire kitty, Snowball 🙂  

I met Maureen for the first time as she walked through the doors of St. Clement’s Church in Lincoln Park in her gorgeous lace and tool wedding dress.

So, I’m sort of super pumped that June is here because woo-hoo it’s my birthday month! Yes, birthday month. I celebrate all month long. Not really, but definitely at least a week long of spoiling myself 🙂 And with so much coming up this month – including an engagement session, 3-day conference, a bachelorette party in Vegas, 4 […]

I’ve had quite a few brides asking me if I have any videographers that I recommend latey. Yes, I think photography is an absolute must-have­ ­on your wedding day. That’s why I do what I do. But I do also recommend having a videographer as well – especially if your budget allows it. While photography freezes that special moment in […]

I met Stephanie on a snowy winter morning at Starbucks. We hit it off immediately and she was soon talking about hooking me up with one of her friends, to which I immediately told her I had a boyfriend, but it was sweet nonetheless. We chatted about her kids, the wedding, her brother, my brother, […]

May has been one heck of a month. I’ve been incredibly busy – which is a good GREAT thing for my business, but if I’m being completely honest with all of you – it’s a lot to handle sometimes, especially when I was thrown curveball after curveball in my personal life, too. May’s calendar had 3 out […]
