My daughter is obsessed with my friend D'Andra Simmons…. She was so sweet to send over a private Cameo for her birthday today!

You can get one too here!

Thank you D’Andra, LOVE YOU!

And just like that, my Oona, my middle child, my first rainbow baby, my autism warrior, my creative soul turns 11 today!

Oona, you have a smile that lights up everyone’s hearts. You are compassionate, sensitive and care so deeply it’s beautiful to witness. You bring so much joy to so many, and are already smarter than I will ever be.

I love you so much and can’t wait to celebrate with you today in nature, your favorite place to be.

I’ve always found beauty in the spaces that have been forgotten by time…. I took these 14 years ago.

🌸 A Mother’s Day Experience 🌸

Join me for an elevated Mommy & Me portrait experience at Bevs Blooms in Wheaton—designed to capture the beauty, connection, and fleeting moments of motherhood in an artful, timeless way. I love that I was able to work with the owner of Bev’s Jaclyn and her adorable boys on a Spring inspired background for these (pics below).

With over 30 years behind the lens, photographing families and notable clients alike, and a background in luxury floral design for high-end events, every detail of this session has been thoughtfully curated—from the bespoke floral installation to the soft, natural posing that flatters both mother and child. As a mother of three myself, I understand just how meaningful these images become over time.

✨ The Experience – $150
• 10-minute guided portrait session
• 4 hand-edited images in a refined, signature style
• Print release

Sessions are intentionally limited to preserve a relaxed, boutique experience.

📍 Bev’s Blooms | Wheaton

Brand perception starts before a guest ever walks through the door.

For boutique hotels and larger businesses alike, your website imagery is often the first experience someone has with your brand. It sets the tone for trust, quality, and expectation.

This recent project was for a boutique hotel updating their website, with a focus on creating imagery that felt:
✔ elevated
✔ intentional
✔ aligned with the guest experience

Strong branding photography doesn’t just show a space — it communicates what it feels like to be there.

For hotels, hospitality brands, and larger businesses, this kind of visual clarity directly supports:
• bookings
• brand credibility
• long-term customer loyalty

If your current imagery no longer reflects the level of experience you provide, it may be time to update.
