Elise + Nathan got married last year on one of the rainiest, gloomiest days of 2021. There was flash flooding on the expressway, which caused major delays for all the guests getting there. But if you looked at Elise + Nathan’s faces, you couldn’t tell a single thing went wrong. They took it all in […]

Kaylie + Marko work together and met through Kaylie’s father. It was clear they couldn’t work directly together as partners because their chemistry and attraction was too strong! They knew it immediately! They both got new partners and started their relationship and got married last fall (photos from their wedding coming soon!). Until then, here’s […]

Vincent + Nguyen were supposed to get married in Hawaii, but the pandemic had different plans for them. Instead, they had an epic wedding celebration on their rooftop that featured the Chicago skyline, custom florals flown in from Hawaii, and family on zoom/Facetime. Our team had the BEST time celebrating with them… they even got […]

Lindsey + Tony lived in Chicago for a while, but shortly after our session were moving out of state so they wanted to capture some iconic Chicago photos for the engagement before the big move out east. We spent some time in Lincoln Park and at North Ave. Beach getting the skyline shots – and […]

Allison + David are one of those couples that just make you feel in love with life. Their affection for each other is contagious, and they had everyone having all the feels with them all day long. David even wrote a song for Allison and surprised her with a performance – there wasn’t a dry […]

Bri + Jon had to postpone their wedding in June 2020 due to the pandemic, but come June 2021, they were ready to move forward no matter the size limitations of their wedding. They had an epic celebration with their closest friends and family at the newly opened City Hall Events in Chicago – and […]

Kaitlin + Anthony live in Lincoln Park, so for their engagement session we walked around their neighborhood, grabbed some food at one of their favorites spots – Small Cheval (also one of mine!), stopped at home/hung out with their pup Ernie, and finished out the session at the Nature Boardwalk where they spend a lot […]

Rebecca + Toyin welcomed me into their home last year for some intimate moments at their everyday life… where they spent most of the pandemic like the rest of us – at home. These are my FAVORITE types of engagement sessions – the focus is YOU, in your home, we’re finding the good light and […]

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 […]
