If you’re nervous to be in front of the camera and feel awkward - you’ve come to the right place.

I direct the entire shoot with poses and prompts, capturing both chic editorial photos and warm, relaxed candids.

All you have to do is show up 😎

Country engagement with Natalie & Garrett 🌾✨

It was so nice to get out of the city for a bit and change up my usual background.

Natalie & Garrett were so fun to photograph, and they’re high school sweethearts, which is the sweetest kind of love, right?! 💕

Another elopement this weekend with Maya & Nate ✨

This year I realized that elopements are my absolute favorite.

I love the simplicity of having your immediate family witness a simple yet heartfelt exchange of vows.

I love the celebration lunch and excitement.

I love the non-traditional, “anti-bride” aspect of doing your wedding on your terms.

And I love taking pictures in Chicago’s iconic downtown architecture.

Congratulations to Maya & Nate and to their families! 🥂

Sunrise sessions are quickly becoming my favorite ☀️

Janelli & Kirk were so fun to photograph and hang out with! Because really, sessions are half photography, half chatting - and I LOVE that. 🫶
