My Story
I am loving life in Palatine Illinois with my husband and two boys. I am a DIY lover (my old home improvement blog is still out there, check it out here!) an avid gardener, and a light-chaser. In the cold months, my favorite activity is laughing my butt off on the couch while watching my favorite shows. For the few months Chicago is not a frozen tundra, you can find me outside somewhere with my camera, capturing that perfect sunstar or dramatic sky in the background while my kids are playing. Usually, frolicking in wildflowers is involved. Summer is my favorite season! I also think there is nothing better than "driveway time" enjoying some beers with anyone who happens to walk by. All are welcome here!
I am always looking for creative ways to use light, composition, and emotion to make truly beautiful images. I am also a goofball to make sure everyone has a great time during our session! My goal is to capture the spirit of you and your family with a mixture of candid and posed images you will love forever. Natural, Colorful, and Beautiful….those are the words I hope my clients will use to describe my work. I can’t wait to meet you!

Gorgeous session right here!
It was so much fun to take this beautiful young lady’s senior portraits, and we had the perfect evening of hazy sun and soft skies. I had to fit as many into this reel as possible, and please check out more great shots on my Facebook page! 📷

Baby among the plants 🌱
This handsome little one has a nature themed nursery, and I was excited to incorporate the family’s amazing selection of plants into their session! I hope they love this preview of their sweet gallery.
