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. 👏

Rainy fall session 🌧️
Sometimes mother nature has her own plans when we are all on our way to the shoot location, and we end up in active rain! Despite the weather, we ended up with some gorgeous end of fall images that I was so thrilled to deliver.

Love this family! ❤️
It has been such a blessing for one of my favorite families to move to Vernon Hills - so I can find all these fun new locations! We were so lucky to have the most gorgeous fall color, and I cannot wait to deliver their big beautiful gallery!

Colorful senior session!
The last time I photographed this client was five years ago, and it was so much fun to see her grown into the amazing senior she is today! I wish her the best year ❤️
