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 […]

If there’s anyone I’ve met who shares my level of passion for Paris and the French, it’s the one and only Debi Lilly! We recently got to spend a whole day together in this magical city, walking from one beautiful spot to another, starting in and around Île Saint-Louis and the 4ème arrondissement and ending […]
We’re getting near the end of the Top Ten Series for 2018 and, as a self-proclaimed francophile, I would be crazy not to include some of my favorite snaps from France this year! I love getting to explore this incredible country and immerse myself more and more in their beautiful culture and language. Monet’s Garden […]
If you’ve been around here for a while you know I love to travel. I also love being able to take pictures of beautiful people while I travel 🙂 As much as I love Chicago, being able to explore and create art in new locations is always SO enjoyable and inspiring. This year I got […]
Y’all know I LOVE Paris and could spend every waking moment there and not get bored. But there are tons of wonderful little towns nearby and it’s absolutely worth taking a day to explore one! Today, I’m sharing my day trip to Giverny! Best known for being home to Claude Monet, this little village is […]
