Hi there. I’m super excited to announce my new website and blog. It’s designed to be a space to come hang out. Check out new work. Read a little post here and there. Instantly book a session. I would love if you would check it out. Link is up at www.lifelensandlove.com.


My new blog La Vita e Bella is a little nod to all the things I love to share and talk about; photography, life, poetry, music, travel, health and wellbeing. I’m also now booking portrait sessions for the remainder of the year. Thanks for following along!

Happy New Year my friends. On this first day of the year, I find myself in a season where I don’t identity with absolutes. I don’t relate to the idea that a year, in particular, can be any one thing. As I reflect on 2024, like many years, it was a mixed bag. And I find myself certain that 2025 will be no different.


I did come to the end of the year feeling like I needed a palette cleanser. Some negative space. Some margin. To that end, I might take a break from FB for a bit.


But I’ll still hang on in social media a bit. Just come join me on Instagram! If you want to check out what I’m up to or follow along with my work, you can find me there at .

I feel incredibly honored to be partnered up with two incredible woman to bring the community spirit of wellness to the women of Downers Grove.


Julie Rutkowski of The Center for Healing and Integration and Izabela Shelton of Surge Mind and Body; you ladies are hella fun to partner with, and you both inspire me constantly with your tenacity, strength and passion.


We are so excited for what’s in store for 2025, and hope you will join us in celebrating the power, health, and wellbeing for women.

Setting my intention now to focus on rest and the things that matter most as the holidays approach and this year comes to a close. Hoping to be more truly “connected” by “connecting less” in the coming weeks after a beautiful and bittersweet fall season and kind of a wild year all around.


I am beyond proud of all of the seniors and souls who showed up wholeheartedly to their 2024 portrait sessions. I’ll be excited to share so many more images from a really special year of portraits soon!

My last senior portrait session this season was of my own;


“You may give them love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday”
~ Kahlil Gibran

Happy Friday Friends. Wishing you a little time this weekend to get lost, get found, and just be.

“Most of my pictures are grounded in people. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face. I try to convey what it is like to be that person, a person caught in a broader landscape that I guess you’d call the human condition.”
– Steve McCurry


Big love to our senior kiddo’s.
