Happy New Year from this Palatine family photographer! 2023 was the busiest year yet for my business! I used to have so few sessions that every year I could make prints and write out personalized holiday cards to each client. This year, I had so much work that time flew by and I didn’t get...
If you have an incoming high school senior, or one that is graduating soon, you may wonder when the best time for senior portraits is. It really just depends on what you want! As a chicagoland senior photographer, I love each season for different reasons. I made this visual guide to help clients visualize the...
With the quality of cell phone cameras today, you might be wondering why you need to hire someone to take your child’s senior portraits. You might feel overwhelmed by picking what photographer to use (there are so many of us!), finding a date that works with your senior’s busy schedule, or the expense of hiring...
This is the season for class of 2022 seniors to get ready for their next chapter! I love how spring is full of promise: warmer weather, events, flowers blooming, and all the graduation plans. It’s a beautiful time of year to capture the perfect senior pictures for our outgoing class! I decided to do a...

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!
