Winter is a great time for photos, too! This returning client of mine wanted some photos for their holiday cards, but it was so cold. We decided to do them in their beautiful home, and also venture out into the back yard for a little fall color. Their wardrobe was amazing, and I could not...
I had the pleasure of capturing this cutie for her 6 month milestone. Having only boys myself, it was such a treat to see this little girl in her tutu and bows! She was the cutest, and our session flew by. When I do in-home sessions, I always bring a few props and furs to...
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! We talked about the evolution of the home, the nightmares and the successes of the renovation, and I did a lot...
I’ve often heard it said, “the best camera is the one you have.” This is very true! These days, almost everyone has a smartphone camera on them at all times, and we are glad for it when something photo-worthy happens. With the way iPhone and android phones have been upping the game on camera technology,...
One of the best parts of winter in the midwest is cuddling and playing with your family while staying warm inside. I was able to capture this family doing just that right after Thanksgiving. They played instruments, built block towers, hid in the closet, and just had a great time while I documented their day. I...

An inspiring night!
Last year, I had the opportunity to photograph a graduation ceremony for the Illinois high school diploma program at Harper college. There were a lot of proud graduates and family members, it was so wonderful to be there and capture the excitement!

It’s me, hard at work!
A few years ago, I got serious about posting Instagram reels. I started taking little video clips of myself at the various locations - just in case I didn’t get to take a video of my clients. It’s become a little tradition that I spend January looking over all of the videos I took of myself the previous year, and sharing some. I love that potential clients can see my face, get glimpses of my most used locations, and it will be fun to look back on these later. Thank you to all of my clients who made 2024 so fun and rewarding! I absolutely loved working with all of you. ❤️
2024 has been quite a year! 🎉
I photographed many professionals, several events, worked with three local schools for marketing images, and I even shot a wedding - which I rarely do! Thank you to all the clients that trusted me to capture your families, headshots, events, and schools. It was truly an inspiring year! I still have many fall and winter sessions to share, but until I can make the time to do that, please enjoy a favorite shot from each of my sessions this year, in order! Thank you all ❤️
Love this patch of pines! 🌲
Hard to believe this spot is in a very suburban area when you see the photos! Love the photos, and the family!
