I met Jackie + Cha Cha at their favorite spot, Jefferson Tap, for a beer and a quick hang to start off the engagement session. We walked around their neighborhood, their building is even in the background of one of the photos, and ended the session outside Adler Planetarium for some epic skyline and sunset […]

Jill spent the afternoon with Gemma + Matt at their favorite hangout, Half Sour (we even sat in ‘their booth’) and then walked around the Art Institute for some epic photos featuring some of their favorite art, the amazing architecture, and of course their playful love for each other. We were originally supposed to explore […]

Michele + Brian used to work together, and they would get coffee on the weekends just as friends, before ever dating. Coffee led to a date led to love which led to a proposal – and we spent their engagement session popping around to some of their favorite spots… Coffee Lab and Roasters, Dovetail Brewery […]

Jeannie + Chris wanted to keep their engagement session low key and true to their real life – OUR FAVORITE kind of sessions! We started in their Wicker Park home to snap a few photos with their pup, then ventured out into the neighborhood to make some of their favorite stops along the way. We […]

Heather + Jason did a family session/engagement session and it was so much fun! We spent some time in their beautiful home with their son and puppy and it was the perfect way to document their everyday lives. Their ‘meet cute’ is one of my favorites, but I’ll wait until their wedding blog to share […]

Sam + Michael are one of the best couples I’ve been lucky enough to work with over the past ten years. They are so in love, SO KIND to others (and me!), and just overall happy people who are so thankful for everything in their lives. They were forced to postpone their wedding TWICE and […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
