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. You may want to grab a snack before reading this post, because I promise you will be hungry afterwards. Actually, better idea, just wait til you’re done and then go order some snacks from Molly. Today’s spotlight is all about Flour & Fig and I can’t tell you how much I loved doing this […]
Guys let’s talk invitations real quick. I love the whole concept of wedding invitations – to me they are like a sneak preview of your wedding day. They’re the movie trailer that gives everyone an idea of what they’re signing up for 😉 If your wedding is a “brand”, the invites are the business cards, […]
