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 […]

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 […]

Y’all. I freaking LOVE City Hall elopements here in Chicago. Especially with a couple as sweet and fun-loving as Huan and Quentin. This stylish duo met in Austria, where they were both studying abroad, and currently live in Southern Illinois. With Quentin being French, Huan being American, and their friends and family scattered around the […]

Ok y’all, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. If you’re willing to brave the cold, the hazy winter light in Chicago cannot be beat!! As a Chicagoan, you’re trained to loathe winter and spend all 5 months of it (yes, it’s that long here) counting down the days til summer. But as […]
