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 wor

ld 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!

There are very few places I love more than the Museum Campus & there are very few things I love photographing more than a proposal, so when Taylor told me this is where she wanted to propose to Maria while they were visiting for the WNBA All-Star Game, I was SO excited.

These two were so sweet; it was such an honor to get to document this step in their relationship

I always love when a session feels true to the couple I'm working with & that's exactly how Kelsey + Sierra's engagement session felt. We kicked things off with a beautiful golden hour walk around the neighborhood before heading to their favorite bar, Mother's Ruin, to play a couple card games & have a drink.

💞 Izzy & Evan 💞

I don't think I could even put into words how much I adore these two and how beautiful their wedding day was. Two of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever met and have been lucky enough to know for a little while now.

✨ Erin & Greg ✨

The smoke cleared up just in time for the sweetest intimate wedding day with these two. The entire day was centered on significant places in their relationship, starting at the home they bought and fixed up together before heading to the park where they had their second date and first kiss, and ending the night with an intimate dinner party with their family and closest friends.

Every single part of the day was intentional, thoughtful, and just all-around perfect for these two, and I loved every single second of being part of the day with them.

Stay safe outside, friends
