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!

A surprise proposal in the flowers 🥰
What fun it was plotting and planning this client’s incredible proposal to his girlfriend! The lengths that this man went to would make any woman’s heart melt. Photographer, location that is important to them, and all of the most important people in her life, showing up one by one to surprise her and congratulate them! I left this job with a huge smile on my face. Please enjoy this sampling of their sweet photos, and best wishes to this gorgeous couple!

Such a cute driveway shoot!
This lovely family had a session scheduled for an extremely rainy day. Rather than reschedule, we made it happen in a short break in the rain on their driveway and inside their home. I love these!!

MINI SESSIONS!
I pulled a couple cute shots out of the archives to advertise the most wonderful time of the (photography) year! I have several mini session nights and mornings scheduled, I hope to see your family this year! I am still booking longer sessions on weeknights, and I have one or two weekend evenings open as well. Link to mini sessions is in my bio and on my website!
This gorgeous couple! ❤️
This couple had the most perfect night for their engagement session, we couldn’t believe the skies and the temp and just everything! I hope they love their photos as much as they do.
