Newborn lifestyle sessions are one of my favorite types of sessions to photograph. I have the privilege of photographing my clients in their homes at these super special moments in their lives–the arrival of their baby. In this case, the arrival of two babies! Two beautiful, cuddly, perfect baby girls. Daisy + Madelyn’s newborn session […]

I wish every winter day could be this sunny and beautiful. Chrissy and Zach celebrated their first wedding anniversary by getting a photo session with me in Crystal Lake–how amazing it was! We got extremely lucky and picked a day that ended up being 50 degrees and sunny in the middle of February! Who would […]

These two cuties–where do I begin when telling you about their beautiful Crystal Lake Maternity Mini session? Shenika + Christopher are so giddy, adorable and it’s obvious they’re beyond excited to become parents! Their mini session took place at Veteran Acres in Crystal Lake. Shenika wore an adorable light pink coat over her navy and […]

I can’t believe it has been two months already since I got to meet this beautiful baby girl. My friend Jessica and her husband welcomed their second child into the world last December and I had the honor of photographing her newborn lifestyle session. Not only was I obsessed with this beautiful baby girl from […]

I’m obsessed with everything about this boho chic wedding at Beyond Stable Farm in Woodstock. Dani & Andrew said ‘I do’ under a beautiful arch in a candle-lit arena. The backdrop to their ceremony was a the beautiful, tree-lined property with drizzling rain. Surrounded by their family and friends, Dani & Andrew shared their vows […]

Second time is a charm–haha. We attempted a summer family session in this beautiful location, however, mosquitos had us running (quickly) back to the car. So, we rescheduled for a fall family session and they got the most beautiful weather (and no mosquitos)! 😉 It’s always a pleasure photographing this family–they’re so sweet, fun and […]

I’m a little delayed in posting photos from this beautiful maternity session.. this fall has kept me busy and I love it! I have lots of sessions and weddings to start sharing from October and what better way to start the blog marathon than with a maternity session?! This rustic, fall, maternity session at Veteran […]

I had the pleasure of second shooting for Joy Lyn Photography at Lauren & Tony’s wedding which was held at the breath-taking La Pergola at Galleria Marchetti in Chicago. Below are some of the favorite images I captured from their wedding day.

Can we just take a minute to talk about how incredible Dani & Andrew’s engagement session was at The Hollows in Cary? From their love and adorable pup to them jamming together at sunset–this session was beyond words. Check out some of my favorites below from their engagement session last month. I can’t wait to […]

I honestly could have posted every single image from Nicole & Nicole’s Olive Park Chicago engagement session. Seriously, I love every single image. Not just because of how stunning these two brides-to-be are together, but because they were truly present during their engagement session and so focused on their love and each other. We got […]
