It was such a privilege photographing these beautiful families while we were in Chicago this summer. I had plans to photograph more families in the spring, then we moved sooner than we anticipated so I told those families I would photograph them when we came back to visit :) It was warm but the breeze was great and I loved catching up with all Read More
The Johnson Family
There is so much to say about this family! From the second you meet them they were just SO kind and sweet. They were so grateful to have their photos taken, and even though it was super windy and chilly because we had to do our session earlier than expected with my move, they didn't complain once. I am so grateful I got to spend the evening with Read More
The Allina Family
There are so many wonderful things to say about this family. We have loved getting to know them as sweet friends these past few years even though we both moved away from Chicago this spring. Their little guy Adrian has the best smile and loves to run around! It didn't take long for him to warm up and sprint up and down the streets of downtown Read More
Chelsea’s First Birthday
This family is so special to me because I photographed this sweet girl when she was in her momma's belly, after she was born, for mini sessions, and now for her one year! They have been SO sweet to ask me to photograph their daughter's whole first year and it for sure is families like this that I miss so much in Chicago because I felt like I got Read More
Monthly Recap {January}
It's hard to believe that Christmas was almost a month ago! Looking over these photos it feels like it was just yesterday but then again, I feel like we have done so much since then as well. We traveled to Ohio after Christmas and it was so nice to see our families. Then we came home and school started as well as basketball- it's been so fun to Read More
Burger Extended Family Session
Something that is so fun about the holidays is that it brings family together from ALL over the country. And often it's a time that I get a call wanting someone to photograph the moment- because you never know when everyone will be in town again! This family was the largest extended family session I've ever photographed- and they were all SO Read More
My Favorites from 2018
This year I finally gave myself some grace in posting my "New Year's Post." Every year I feel stressed to get something up by the 31st but the reality is we are always still in Ohio and finishing up a CRAZY busy week seeing all my family that I don't get to see any other time of the year- so here's my couple day late post recapping all my favorite Read More
The Witkowski Family
I absolutely LOVED that this family wanted to do their session at a Christmas Tree Farm. We traveled out to Naperville and found a cute farm AND it snowed the night before making it extra wintery. The snow did make it a *tad* cold but you never would have known that by looking at this sweet family! They did awesome in the snow and their daughter Read More
Mini Sessions
I really cannot begin to tell you how wonderful all these clients are! We had to reschedule a couple sessions due to weather, but everyone was SO great about it and we were able to get some beautiful Fall sessions in the following day and weekend! I am so incredibly grateful these families entrust me to take their photos. Read More
Albanese Extended Family Session
I've photographed some of these family members last summer and was so thrilled when they reached out for me to photograph their extended family when they were all together for Thanksgiving. It was extra special since we took their photos in their mom and dad's back yard because they aren't sure how long they will live in that home. It's always so Read More
