Getting your picture taken sometimes feel like a lot. You’ve got a million things running through your brain…“How’s my hair? Did we choose the right outfits? Is my son smiling? Please tell me her fingers aren’t in her nose.”
This is what I’m here for. My goal is to make you feel natural and keep you laughing, all while making sure the details come together for a fun and relaxed time together. It’
s my job to set up you up for success and help you feel like the beautiful person you are so that afterwards you feel nothing but joy and excitement for the photos. And you’ll see it when they’re delivered. You’ll see the laughter and silliness and connection and be so grateful you signed up for the session. And yes, you might just have a new bff in me afterwards. So can I tell you about me? I’ve loved photography since I was a lame teenager. Like, mid-2000’s lame teenager. I got my DSLR when I was 14 and went nuts. Fast forward a decade, and I decided to really give this thing a go professionally. I’ve been in business since 2016, and it’s been a dream. I love meeting new clients, building a quick rapport, making you smile, and coming up with jokes that totally crush with your kids so you don’t have to. I also love podcasts, a solidly timed GIF, crying at mountain views, dramatic tv, stand-up comedy specials, driving by myself, oatmilk lattes, knowing too much about the Bach, and singing along to Biebs. I’ve been married for over ten years to my tall bearded wonder, Grant, and we have two wild boys who keep me entertained and well-versed on all things dinos and superheroes. We’re blessed to live in the sprawling western suburbs of Chicago.
