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 […]
One of the most amazing things about traveling as a photographer is getting to meet so many people I would have otherwise never met! It’s so much fun sharing cultures and spending time learning more about the people rather than the places (read: there’s more to Paris than tourists and the Eiffel Tower)! One of […]
Coucou mes amis! This summer I was lucky enough to get to attend The Signature Atelier hosted by Abby Grace Photography and Katherine Bignon. I’ll have a WHOLE post soon dedicated to the workshop itself, but today I’m excited to share one of the sessions we photographed during the workshop! In fact, this was the […]
One of the most frustrating things about living in Chicago is feeling as though you don’t have many options for weekend trips. Coming from the East Coast and the South where there’s no shortage of weekend getaway spots, the Midwest can feel pretty confining. Enter Mackinac Island! This gem up in northern Michigan is the […]
When the topic of travel comes up in conversation, one of the first things I say is I love to travel, but I hate being a tourist. As someone who grew up with a passion and a knack for foreign languages, I’ve always been very intrigued by other cultures and, to me, being a tourist […]
