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 […]

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.

Lily’s beautiful big blue eyes, smile and giggle just melt my heart. I was beyond excited to photograph their fall portrait session. I’m so blessed to have such wonderful […]

I am so honored to have been a bridesmaid in this lovely couple’s wedding, to have photographed their one year anniversary session and I am so proud […]
