These two are one of the sweetest couples EVER! They found me through one of my other amazing couples, Kaiti & Josh (click here to meet them & see their wedding blog post)! We had the greatest time at their engagement session this past winter, and I just knew their wedding day would be just […]

I’ve been photographing Maddie + Brandon (and their dog, Weston) for YEARS. A little while back, Brandon contacted me to photograph his proposal to Maddie, and I was SO excited for them 🙂 Shortly after, we did a session celebrating their small, COVID friendly wedding day and some “just-married” portraits in their everyday clothes as […]

Oh how I just LOVE Haley and Josh (and this always beautiful Chicago skyline for engagement photos)! Their downtown engagement session was the perfect way to kick off “Spring” engagement sessions! I first met Haley at a photo shoot in Chicago where she was modeling and I was photographing! I was so, so excited when […]

Oh my goodness, we’ve been keeping this secret for SO long!!

Aren’t these two just the sweetest couple you’ve ever seen?! Jamie found me on Instagram, and I was so excited when she reached out! Since her and Omar met and had their first few dates on campus at U of I, it only made sense for us to have their engagement session there. The night […]

Oh my goodness, I just LOVE this venue, these people, this WHOLE DAY!! 🙂 Providence Vineyard is a newly opened venue in the Chicago Suburbs, and since the first time I found them on Instagram, I’ve been dying to shoot here! When I saw that my photographer friends were hosting a workshop & styled shoot […]

Sam and Dillon are one of the sweetest couples out there! I first got to meet Sam at Dillon’s younger sister, Claire’s senior photos a few months ago. This whole family is amazing, and I’m so honored to photograph Sam and Dillon’s wedding next winter! Downtown Milwaukee, especially Lakeshore Park, is one of my favorite […]
