Like most families this year, this couple was looking for some nice images for their Christmas card. We had an unseasonably warm day in October, around 60 degrees and beautiful! They were dressed to the nines, and their little boy was adorable in his suit. I normally prefer full sessions to tell a more intimate...
This beautiful family was long overdue for family pictures! Their last session was five years ago, so I knew the location had to be fabulous. Luckily, the goldenrod is at it’s peak in September. Buffalo Creek forest preserve has this beautiful area that is just yellow as far as you can see, it’s so stunning...
This family was looking for Easter portraits sometime in April, then Mother Nature decided to give us the coldest, most depressing spring ever! We ended up waiting until mid-May to do the photos, and they turned out so gorgeous! This session was supposed to be a ‘simple’ session, which is about 30 minutes and includes...
It’s been a year since I photographed beautiful baby A, and I was so surprised to realize I never shared her images on the blog! I had the pleasure of taking mom’s maternity photos a few months prior, and I was so thrilled when she wanted to do a relaxed newborn session with me. This...
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...

Officially wrapping up 2025! 🎉
Going back through my 2025 sessions, I am reminded of all the fun times I had with my amazing clients! Forgive me for not doing an official recap of all of those great sessions. This winter has been a difficult one, and I am just now getting back into business mode. Looking forward to sharing some sessions that I’ve had recently, and my books for spring and summer are now open! PS: note to self to take more videos when it’s cold out 🤣

Engagement session in the 🌨️
This couple had their engagement session planned for last Saturday, and it turned out to be the coldest day. As soon as we arrived the blowing snow started, but we managed to get these beautiful images anyway! I love the photos so much, congrats to the couple! ❤️

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.
