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 […]

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 […]

This year has been full of so many amazing memories, amazing couples, and amazing locations. Selecting only 10 images to showcase for the year was pretty much impossible. I’m obsessed with each and every session, and wish I could relive everything all over again and post them every day! Ultimately, the 10 I selected are […]
Working on the final few installments of my 2017 Top Tens and the series wouldn’t be complete without a roundup of some of my favorite florals from the year. I LOVE florals, although you wouldn’t know it based on how much of a green thumb I DON’T have. Seriously, succulents are about as advanced as […]
