This is what 63 years of choosing to say yes, choosing to love, choosing to forgive, choosing to hold hands, choosing to let the small things stay small and laughing so hard you nearly fall over looks like… I love this look.  And these people. PS: Kristin, you are also one incredible daughter…

These two. They fill my heart with joy.  They’ve become such cherished friends.  And so when we planned to visit family in Michigan, they were the first people I called.  Because…I adore them. For the past 3.5 years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting their love.  Their laughter.  And all the joy and hilarity and […]

Sometimes in life you go on crazy adventures. And April sounds like a great time for one of those. Our little family is road-tripping back to Chicago for just such an adventure and I’d be all kinds of honored to have the opportunity to document your amazing self (and possibly your loved ones) while I’m […]

I’ll be back.  Pinky swear. I’m just in the midst of growing.  Of healing.  Of God rewriting so much of me.  Of learning how to be more present in all that I do and create. It’s beautiful.  I’m grateful.  It’s hard.  It’s worth it. But…this.  This is the biggest why I’m not here… These two. […]

“She even lost her wedding photos.” I read those words and I just knew…I had to do something.  I can’t give her back her wedding pictures.  But I can give her the gift of a session and document now.  This love that’s carried through losing everything.  And if we can find her a wedding dress […]

A few weeks ago I traded the role of photographer to become a client.  And I’m CRAZY GRATEFUL for that experience.  Not only do I now have pictures that mean the world to me (and pictures that I’m ACTUALLY IN with my kids) but I also learned a lot about what my clients (and anyone’s […]

Hi there, sweet Chicago friends…   I’m coming back one more time before the end of the year and I’d love to see you October 11-14.  Currently I have 2 sessions left and 3 mini-sessions.  The mini-sessions are 25 minutes in length and are for Saturday, October 13th in downtown Wheaton and the session fee […]

This family? AMAZING. Their love? Will change the world. Their hilarious factor? Off the charts. No wonder I love them…  

These images? This is why I do what I do. Connection.  Authenticity.  Moments. And these people?  They’re gorgeous – inside and outside.  

Oh these two.  There are not words for how much I love them. And when they said they wanted to do an anniversary shoot to celebrate one year of marriage, I did back flips. The first part of our time together was spent having fun.  Capturing all the fun that they bring with them wherever […]
