Grateful. ❤️

What a year with so many beautiful souls who wore their hearts of their sleeves and let us really SEE them. See their love. See their joy. See their gratitude, laughter, fear, sorrow, and anxiety. All of it. The messy, the real, the humanity.

We are forever humbled you chose us to stand alongside you and capture images that will be part of your family’s legacy. And getting to do this with the person we love most by our side? The cherry on top. 🍒

Wishing you all a beautiful and restful holiday season with your loved ones. May you feel the peace of the season and wrapped in love by your community. 🙏🏼

(Thanks to for this snap of us a couple weeks back. It’s rare we are both in the frame - so thank you! Honored you wanted to capture us as part of your day’s memories too. We love you! 🫶🏼)

And you are correct- James can’t ever take a photo just a smiling! Haha 😛

Film scans arrived, so what better time to share part two from Jess & Brian’s engagement session in the city?! What a perfect summer afternoon we had to wander the park. They may have convinced me that I should be doing afternoon sessions more often! Just loved every minute of my time with these two and fall 2026 can’t come soon enough! 🤍

I moved to Chicago in 2005 to earn a degree in Commercial photography. I remember clearly the way people in the industry at the time spoke about wedding photography. It was obvious this path wasn’t an option for anyone who wanted to be a “real” photographer. So much so - that when I was in the midst of commercial & editorial work and a friend approached me to shoot her wedding, I made sure she understood that even if I were to capture her wedding, I was NOT a wedding photographer. 🙃

Oh how the tides have turned. 😅 It only took a few more weddings back then for me to realize that I actually LOVED wedding photography SO much more than the work I was doing. It was an opportunity to connect with real people, shoot work I was proud of (without an art director micro-managing all my decisions 🙈), and I thrived in the high stakes/no redos environment. It was exciting and as a full-on romantic and optimist at heart - the fact it all centered around a love story (really many love stories - family, friends, the couple) - was just the icing on the cake. ❤️

So remember, as you start into your next wedding season how vital the work you do is. No, we are not heart surgeons, but we are doing work from the heart & for others’ hearts too. The images we capture will sustain people during difficult times and inspire them to see the beauty in their seemingly ordinary (but truly extraordinary) lives. 💛✨

My favorite part about finalizing galleries is getting a second look at each image to really soak in those often overlooked millisecond moments that almost tell the story of the day better than the big, expected ones. Here are a few of my favorite from & heartfelt day. 🫶🏼

Wishing the happiest birthday to my dear friend who is as beautiful inside and she is out. 🫶🏼

It was a joy to get to catch up recently and capture your sweet family on film, along with your newest addition, Esme Joy.

It seems like a million years ago that I was pregnant with our boys and you were freaked out by the idea of babies growing inside of you - and now look at you! 😅 Growing all these beautiful babies of your own! ♥️ I love you so much.

I have so many images I want to share from this summer, but not enough time to sort through! Maybe next winter when things are quieter. 😅

In the meantime, these simple black & white images on film of a sweet newborn session are tugging at my heartstrings in the best way. 🖤🎞️

Oh my gosh we were SO excited and honored when reached out asking us to document her own wedding day! There is something so humbling about a wedding planner who knows so many talented photographers asking you to be the one capturing their day. We are over the moon for she & Kyle and are counting down the days to November with these two!

Here’s just a peek at some of the beautiful moments from last week! 🫶🏼
