This city-dwelling family met me at Schiller Woods for some fun and photos on a chilly Friday night. There were deer as far as the eye can see, just wandering around and eating grass. I can’t believe I didn’t take any photos of them! The family loved seeing the wildlife, since they don’t often see...
I was so happy to photograph this family for the second year in a row! We chose always-delightful Historic Long Grove for our location, and it was a lot of fun for the kids to explore. The cute areas that surround the municipal lot are wonderful backdrops, including the beautiful tall pines behind the fabulous...
This beautiful couple wanted to celebrate their little girl’s first birthday with a family session and outdoor cake smash, which is pretty much my favorite type of session! I remember my own son’s first birthday session and cake smash so fondly, but he was running absolutely everywhere, and this little one is just starting to...
I was thrilled when my friend and client found this gem of a location near downtown Milwaukee. It is an alley that has been converted into an artist’s canvas, and the murals are awesome! We had a wonderful time exploring the paintings and they made such a beautiful backdrop for the photos. I wish every...
This family met me at Busse Woods in Schaumburg for a session. We had so much fun exploring with the kids, and then the baby got a very special cake smash to commemorate his first birthday! I love this location because there is so much variety, and we made the most of it. Enjoy these...

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!

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.

Gwen ReillyHi Sara! My name is Gwen. I am a mom of 2 beautiful girls :-), ages 9 and 12. Every year, it has been a tradition to take fall pictures. I had a photographer that came highly recommended to me, and unfortunately, she has cancelled our session several times 🙁
I went on google, and poof, there you were, right in Palatine! I loved your website! I know it is late in the game, but I was wondering if you had any availability to take pictures? It can even be a mini session. My girls can handle the cold and are VERY cooperative! If you are completely booked, I understand!! Let me know!
Thank you!!!
