These are the moments I'm looking for, all day. These are the moments that go by in the blink of an eye, but carry so much emotion worth remembering. I'm looking for the tears, the lengthy hugs, the cackling with laughter--every wave that comes!

This is why you invest in a photographer you can trust with the story of your wedding day!
I have limited availability remaining for 2026, and I am booking for 2027!

Sophie's senior session was so relaxed and fun! If you missed your chance for Fall senior portraits, we can still schedule a spring session before those graduation invitations need to go out!

Sophie's senior session was so relaxed and fun! We explored the late fall foliage at one of my favorite spots in DuPage County. We enjoyed the peaceful, quiet scenery and captured some beautiful images highlighting her personality. If you're looking for . . .

Planning your winter wedding, proposal, or engagement? Here's a few tips!

- Pick somewhere that's as beautiful inside as it is outside! With the right photographer and a cool space, you can have indoor pictures that are as beautiful and fun as your outdoor ones--so you can spend a little less time in the cold and a little more cozied up with your favorite person!

- Be open to lights and flash! A well-placed video light and precise use of flash can get you amazing results, if you're open to them adding to your moment.

- Expect to have a good time, and you will--even if it's cold, or rainy, or snowy. Embracing each moment as it is makes the magic of a wedding day (or proposal!)

If you want a photographer who loves photographing in the winter, take a sneak peek here of how beautiful your photos could look 🥹

In my alternate world of science teaching, I'm lucky enough to get to teach the same students multiple years in a row. Josie is a senior this year, but I've known her since my first year in Illinois teaching freshman Biology! She's spunky, earnest, courageous, and kind. Getting to photograph her sen...

I love going into the Chicago for engagement sessions. If you are a couple that enjoys the city aesthetic, work in the city, or go there often on dates--it's 100% worth doing your engagement session there! The architecture adds texture to each photo, the scenery varies from major iconic locations to...
