A photographer’s greatest joy is clients coming back for yearly photos! Ok, it may be a perfect sunset during a session with great clients….either way, I had both of those things on this beautiful day in June! I took 1 year photos for this couple’s first daughter in 2016, and this summer they came to me for their second litte girl’s milestone session. We had a super hot day, but in the photos, it just looks like beautiful summer weather! We chose do to the session at Prairie Center for the Arts in Schaumburg, it has a lot of variety and great scenery. As with their previous session, we ended this one with a cute outdoor cake smash. We had the most gorgeous orange sunflare in the cake smash photos, no photoshop here! I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do.

Happy New Year! 🎉
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. 👏
How cool was this!
My beautiful friend needed some new headshots, so she packed her harp into the car and we delighted passersby in downtown Palatine! I hope she loves them as much as I do.

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 ❤️
