Three years and four days ago, I took maternity photos for my beautiful sister in law. She has a lovely prairie behind her condo that was the perfect setting for a session, with the added advantage that we didn’t have to travel anywhere! I thought it would be fun to recreate the photos with her...
I was excited to meet this couple last fall. They were expecting a Christmas baby, and she told me she was wearing her own maternity gown for the photos. I absolutely love gowns in photos, so I was thrilled to see her dress in person! We met at Buffalo Creek, one of my very favorite...
Last November, I was about 8 months pregnant and we had just moved to Palatine. I never had maternity photos taken with my first baby, except for the weekly ‘belly’ photos I took against a backdrop. This time, my final pregnancy, I wanted some real photos in one of my maternity gowns and heels! I have taken maternity...
I’m a firm believer that moms need to get in the photo more often. We are always the ones behind the camera, aren’t we? To celebrate Mother’s Day, and help get one lucky mom in the photo, I’m holding a session giveaway! The winner will receive a free mommy and me, family, or maternity session...
My sister in law is having her first baby in less than two months, you might remember seeing her impromptu maternity mini session here. On a recent visit to Illinois for Easter (and her baby shower!)

Good beer, good cheer 🍻
I was looking forward to seeing the expansion that was done at @noonwhistlebrewing in Lombard…five years ago! Sorry it took me so long, because it looks beautiful and the food was amazing! This was an event for a Cook county nonprofit, and it was a great success - with fun photos as proof. Can’t wait to share the gallery with all of the participants! 📸

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!
