I grew up the kid who was OBSESSED with all of the Disney princess movies and just in love with the idea of “true love”, which has shown itself in SO many ways in my life. My first true love I found was my camera and photography. I picked up my dad's camera for the first time when I was 8 years old and decided at that moment that it was all I wanted to do. I could show people the way I saw the world and to little 8 year old me, that was the coolest thing EVER. It started off as capturing the things I loved, whether that was animals at the zoo, my friends, or siblings… I was ALWAYS shoving a camera in somebody's face. As I got older, that grew into capturing the love that other people put into the world. I started working with local photographers in my hometown around the time I was 14 to learn how to start working weddings and being able to document that step in somebody's love story. When I was 17, I knew this was it for me and it was time to start my own company and really seriously do this thing. Since then, I’ve been able to go full time in this incredible industry and make a living off capturing the love I see around me every single day, whether that love is a couple committing to spending their lives together, parents welcoming a child into their lives, the love between a family, or the love of someone seeing their favorite band on stage for the first time. The world is full of love and magical firsts, I’m so incredibly honored to be able to capture them to look back on forever. I’m available for booking through the greater Chicagoland area & throughout the country for all types of sessions + concerts!

🥂 Introducing the Sibr-Toth Tigers 🥂

Ellen & Dave are two of the most genuine and thoughtful people I've ever met, and getting to see the way that they love not only each other but also all of their family & friends was truly something special.

Also look at that freaking arch!!! They made that together by hand!!!!! Ellen also made Dave's wedding band!!! I'll never stop screaming about how cool that is and how cool they are.
