part one (of probably so many) of madi and alex, whose gallery is still in the works, btw.
this was such a special session for a high school friend, back at the same location we did her senior pictures (before i had even touched a wedding!!!!), now back with her boo and decorated in the most perfect sunlight all evening long.

one of my absolute favorite things about this job is all the connections it brings me and people i get to meet. friends of friends, past client siblings, a family friend’s long distance bestie…the list goes on. sometimes this job takes me to california ( and ben i’m looking @ u!!!) and i plan an extra shoot with a stranger ( and ) who later introduce me to more cali people on my next trip ( and ) and i get to have so many laughs with new friends. florida friends who have chicago friends, and those chicago friends who tell their nyc friends about me.
BUT even better is that sometimes, rarely, this job brings me back to old connections, at home, in a place i almost never get to shoot anymore #—even though it’s where it all started.
so thank you madi + alex for trusting me with your photos ever since high school (feel old yet? lol) and for bringing me back to the place that will always be home ❤️
let the countdown to nov 2025 begin!!!!
