It turns out that starting a new page in 2026 involves convincing the algorithms that I am, in fact, a real human being and not an AI! 🤖

If things look a little quiet here for a moment, that’s why. I’m in the process of moving things over and will be sharing plenty of new work samples and updates with you all shortly.

Thanks for sticking with me while I jump through these hoops. Can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on!

Vibe check: Does your senior picture actually look like you? 📸✨

Class of 2026, it’s almost time! Your senior year is your biggest chapter yet—the "last firsts," the big games, and the dreams about what’s next. You deserve more than a generic backdrop and a stiff pose. Let's head outside to capture the personality, the style, and the real you.

✨ Fun, relaxed, and adventurous sessions

😎 Urban cool, sun-drenched fields, or anything in between

☀️ Natural light that makes you glow

For the Parents: These aren't just photos; they are joyful memories frozen in time. Don't let this milestone pass without celebrating who your senior has become.

🗓 Booking Spring and Summer dates through June! Slots are filling up fast as the weather warms up.

A Trip Down Memory Lane... 📸✨

While One More Smile Photography is a fresh start, my camera and I have been busy for years!

I’m currently spending my free time diving into the archives and getting some of my favorite past sessions uploaded to my new galleries. It has been so much fun looking back at all the smiles, the golden sunsets, and the milestones I’ve had the honor of capturing here in Lake County.

Why does this matter for you?
I want you to see exactly what "One More Smile" looks like. From the wild energy of toddlers in the tall grass to the quiet confidence of high school seniors, my portfolio is getting a major glow-up to show off the art we’ve created together.

Keep an eye on this page over the next weeks—I’ll be sharing:
🌟 Throwbacks to some of my favorite forest preserve sessions.
🌟 Tips on how we achieved those "perfect" looks.
🌟 Inspiration for your own upcoming 2026 sessions!

If you’ve been in front of my lens before, drop a "🙋‍♀️" in the comments! I can’t wait to share these memories with you all.
