I took personal branding photos for Shannon’s amazing book called ‘The Happy Hormone Guide last year, and this year she contacted me again to do some Lake Zurich engagement photos with her longtime boyfriend. It was such a honor to capture these two! We used a lovely LZ location for summertime vibes, but had to...
My husband Shaun and I haven’t had a real vacation in a long time, it’s probably been over 5 years now. When he asked me last year if I’d be interested in a reggae show at Red Rocks in Colorado this spring, I said YES and started dreaming about all the fabulous photos I could...
This couple contacted me about a session in their amazing mid-century home in Long Grove. They wanted ‘grown up’ couples photos of them and their sweet dog Stella, and it was simply a delight!

This gorgeous couple is getting married in August, and if they aren’t the perfect vision of young love, I don’t know what is! It was so much fun to photograph them just being themselves.

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! ❤️

Happy New Year! 🎉
Please enjoy our holiday card, a tribute to the band @theleisurecollective who created the soundtrack of my year. Hope your 2026 is as cool as their songs and this look. 👏
How cool was this!
My beautiful friend needed some new headshots, so she packed her harp into the car and we delighted passersby in downtown Palatine! I hope she loves them as much as I do.
