“A Celebration of Motherhood” There are so many mom-centric moments in our lives – I’m very lucky to be part of so many of the happy ones, including my own! Other than a few selfies, I don’t have photos that I’ve taken with me and my Mom together. But, this series of me and each of my […]

This is Lakeview! ***Update: It’s April 2020, and our Governor here in Illinois just extended our shelter-in-place existence through May.

I want the viewer to understand a bit about who or what the subject is about, their personality. Outside of my wedding and family work, my favorite “people” photography revolves around small […]

“It’s a (my) family affair” Full disclosure: I know the groom-to-be here very well. In fact, I’ve known him his whole life…he’s my youngest brother. And he’s getting married!!! I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry, but I’m tearing up just typing those words. I am so full of love and happiness and excitement for […]
