It’s been decades in the making for these two. The first time they met was not the right time. They were in two different stages in their lives and who knew what would happen if they crossed paths again. Well, their paths crossed alright, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Chris & Gosia have known […]

We photographed Claire and James’ engagement session in undesirable conditions one October morning. It was cold and wet and the sun was nowhere to be seen. Yet, the session turned out to be beautiful. I think the universe thought they pulled off an amazing engagement session in that weather, let’s give them rain on their […]

Melissa and Kris’ wedding has finally happened! After rescheduling from last year due to the pandemic, they were able to finally tie the knot this past month. We’ve been talking for quite a bit and helping Melissa with her plans, timelines etc. And I’m so glad everything finally came into fruition! Peggy Notebaert museum was […]

All smiles despite the outpouring rain! That’s what I remembered the most from this eventful day. It all started at the Harrah’s Casino in Joliet where Jon and Shannon got ready.  They decided against having a wedding party so it was a truly intimate time spent with their immediate families. We headed out to the […]

One of my main goals for my business is to actually show my face more often. In fact, I’d love to have a separate corner just to share all my travel experiences, personal thoughts and other non-photography-related interests that I feel like sharing. One day! For now, I’d like to share my very own maternity […]

It was chilly winter but Brian and Sara were up for a waterfall engagement session at the Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve. They brought their super cute Samoyed, named Jinx and boy I can just snuggle with this cutie all day! Back to our gorgeous couple. Brian and Sara found me through TheKnot. When we first […]

The day is finally here! Ryan and Jeanne got hitched! This will go down as one of the most memorable weddings I covered in the history of my photography business. Why? Because it’s my Coochikoo’s wedding! That’s an inside joke by the way. Ryan and I go way back, like since before we both JUST […]

One of my favorite families are back for a fall family session! I’ve photographed little Noah’s newborn session and I can’t believe how big he is now! It was such a perfect time to take fall photos with all the colorful leaves in the background. We had so much fun throwing leaves around and that […]

We’re in Las Vegas once more! We love this city. Not for the casinos and not-so-wholesome shows. There’s just always something to do – shows, food, clubs, bars, canyons, fancy hotels and many more. For every year that we visit, there’s almost always something new that we do. We’re in Vegas for Ryan & Jeanne’s […]

As I’ve mentioned time and time again, I LOVE my repeat clients! I’ve been photographing this family way before Joe and Vinvia got married. They were one of my “practice couples” that I shot when I was still building my portfolio. I’ve photographed their engagement session, maternity session and newborn session. Technically, I also had […]
