pssssst…
There’s a little meadow close to my home with that is absolutely magical for photos right now.
The golden summer light coming through the tall grasses and flowers is soooooo goooood

and I want this for you.

So on Thursday August 13th, I’ll be offering discounted head shot sessions:

$75 off the regular price and only 5 minutes long.
Yes that’s right, you only have to be in front of the camera for 5 minutes.
You can do this!

LINK IN BIO, book yours today.

(though I will make it delightful enough that you’ll wish it was longer)

I was on live TV yesterday!
CBS news Chicago put together a lovely piece about my time-lapse of the Obama Presidential Center.
I am so grateful to Shardaa Gray for helping me share this project that’s been so meaningful to me over the past few years.

Watch the story here or on YouTube. Link in bio!

Studio portrait session with Dahlia.
❤️
A few weeks ago I posted a reel of Dahlia's photos, spinning quickly through dozens of them on the back of my camera. You could see her personality come to life, gesture after gesture, expression after expression. I loved it!

But now it 's time for some quieter and slower stills.
I love how they bring out her elegance, her kind energy, and her joy.
