Codi, Zach & Ira

Codi & Zach’s last session with little Ira, they thought they’d frame a ton of black and white images, but realized the color photos were just so awesome. And for some reason, this session was just so dreamy in black and white. I’m a pretty big sucker for black and white images because I believe […]

Holiday family photos

It means a ton when our clients have us document each important step in their lives. I’ve loved seeing Matt and Lindsey’s love and family grow. And I can tell you that I know personally, that this adorable little blue eyed babe is spoiled by both sets of grandparents. He is the most precious little […]

Christi & Nick | Chicago Engagement

November 8, 2016 // We all know they call Chicago the Windy City. However, this past Tuesday, it was as if a mini tornado was about to brew with rapid droppin temperatures from the time I landed at the airport, to the time their session had started. We attempted to start at the oh-so-beautiful view […]

Shannon & Cody | Powell Gardens

When choosing a location for your engagement or lifestyle session, or even portraits on your wedding day, think about places that are out of the ordinary.
