A grown up birthday session | Adult cake smash photographer

When my beautiful sister-in-law told me she wanted to do a grown-up ‘cake smash’ session for her 33rd birthday, I was so excited to do it!  I did have a condition, and this condition was that we first do a ‘smash’ with Chicago classic food and beer.  That is the stuff adults really like, right? We chose one of her favorite foods, an Italian beef sandwich and cheese fries from Portillos, and the official beer of the Cubs – Old Style.  The resulting photos are simply awesome, and I let her class it up with some wine and cake later on in the session.  She was such a good sport, enjoy these hilarious photos!

Officially wrapping up 2025! 🎉 

Going back through my 2025 sessions, I am reminded of all the fun times I had with my amazing clients!  Forgive me for not doing an official recap of all of those great sessions.  This winter has been a difficult one, and I am just now getting back into business mode.  Looking forward to sharing some sessions that I’ve had recently, and my books for spring and summer are now open!  PS: note to self to take more videos when it’s cold out 🤣

Engagement session in the 🌨️

This couple had their engagement session planned for last Saturday, and it turned out to be the coldest day.  As soon as we arrived the blowing snow started, but we managed to get these beautiful images anyway!  I love the photos so much, congrats to the couple! ❤️
