I’ve known Abby and Danny about four years now. I photographed their engagement session, their wedding, and now (well, technically a year and some change ago at this point*) I had the immense joy of photographing their maternity session! We picked Humboldt Park, which is a fantastic spot for a maternity session because it has […]
I’m SO excited to finally share highlights from Sara and Jimmy’s intimate brunch wedding at Loft Lucia. I absolutely adored this sweet couple, and their wedding shows that you don’t have to sacrifice style when you have an intimate wedding! Their day started with a lovely first look downtown. It may have been drizzly and […]
Old Town Alexandria is one of THE most charming locations for an engagement shoot imaginable. Its cobblestone streets, quiet gardens, picturesque alleys, and waterfront views are an absolute dream. For Alexa and Neal, who live in the area, this location was a no-brainer! We started our session in the gardens of the Carlyle House, an […]
Finally getting around to blogging some of the craziness that was 2021! First up is Katie and Taylor’s classic Chicago engagement session. It’s full of iconic Chicago views, beautiful summer light, and of course a stunning couple! Katie looked so chic in her white silk dress. And Taylor was equally sharp in his summer blue […]
Spring engagement sessions in Chicago are not for the faint of heart. You have to be prepared for any temperature between 40 and 80 degrees, and you have to be ready to pivot your plans in a snap. Mary and Nate were ready for whatever the city threw at them and they absolutely rocked their […]
Sara and Jimmy may have won the record for bracing the elements on what I believe was the hottest day of the year in Chicago. But with how adorable these two are together, you’d never know that we were all sweating bullets! I absolutely loved their engagement session around the Chicago Museum Campus. We started […]

If you’ve been around a while you know this couple VERY well 🙂 I’ve had the pleasure of documenting so many special memories for Hannah & Pat: their engagement, their wedding, their first anniversary, and their first maternity session. And this year, I got to photograph their second maternity session at North Avenue Beach! Yes, […]
When Covid-19 turned all wedding planning upside down, Kelly & Broderick pivoted. The couple opted to keep their original wedding date and host an intimate wedding with immediate family and their closest friends. They kept their getting ready location – Hotel Zachary – because they are both Cubs fans and loved this new hotel that […]
Real talk: The pandemic is making me homesick for my second home 🙁 On top of that, it’s cold and gloomy here in Chicago. So, I figured the best cure for all of this would be to share photos of this happy, sunny Parisian session along the Seine! I had the pleasure of getting to […]
It doesn’t get much more lovely than a winter engagement session in downtown Chicago! For Mary Grace and Joel’s winter session, warmth was the name of the game. We started our session with the beautiful, classic architecture of Union Station. The photo ops here are endless! So many lines and angles to play with! And, […]
