Q***r love stories deserve to be documented with care, magic, and full-body joy! I don’t take that lightly for even one second.

To every LGBTQIA+ couple who has let me into their day…the tearful first looks, the packed dance floors, the beautiful moments in between, thank you. Genuinely. It is not lost on me what it means to be trusted with that.

I see you. I’m rooting for you.

Happy Pride!! 🏳️‍🌈

If you’re getting married and you want someone in your corner who may or may not cry behind the camera, DM me!

Happy Pride, Friends! 🌈

Shannon spent months planning this beautiful proposal. A scavenger hunt through every place that matters to them, ending at a picnic in Cantigny Park. Ashley’s face when it all came together is why I do this!
Their joy was palpable.

God, I love, love.

Wishing every couple out there, in all their forms, a joy-filled Pride!! 🏳️‍🌈

If you’ve been looking for a reason to book Cantigny- hi, hello, this is your sign! Engagements, anniversaries, family sessions…the gardens are gorgeous and I am dying to shoot there more. DM me.

✨VENUE SPOTLIGHT ✨

The Art Institute has got to be one of my favorite spots to shoot in Chicago (and I am not being paid to say that! I just genuinely adore it). The light, the architecture, the fact that the staff there are so lovely and easy to work with. It all just comes together in a way that feels a little bit magic.

Also, no weather drama. No wind destroying anyone’s hair. No one sweating through their outfit in August. Only stunning marble, good lighting and two people completely in love.
Kind of a dream!

Some things I always tell couples who are considering the Art Institute: plan for a weekday, skip the lunch rush, and if you really want the place practically to yourselves, look into the Members Program for early access. It’s a game changer.

Thinking about an Art Institute session?
DM me and let’s make it happen!

Here’s what makes a flat lay go from “cute” to “I’m saving this forever”

1. Your invitation suite (the anchor, everything else lives around it)
2. Your rings
3. Your signature scents
4. Something personal and specific (like Bear’s cocktail napkin. Always bonus points if it’s dog related!!)
5. Jewelry or heirlooms (pearls, coins, grandma’s bracelet)

Texture + story = the flat lay sweet spot!
Screenshot this and send it to your partner!

Bridget and Eric have known each other since preschool. PRESCHOOL. They grew up, life happened, and then somehow the universe went and brought them back to each other. I can’t.

We spent a golden hour evening wandering around Hurley Gardens in Wheaton and it really felt less like a shoot and more like hanging out with two people who are just really, really happy. The laughing was constant and the ease between them was the kind you can’t manufacture. July cannot come fast enough.

Bridget and Eric, I’m so glad you found your way back to each other. And I’m so glad I get to be there for what comes next.

Dreaming about your own engagement session? DM me! I’d love to hear your story.

PS: A complimentary engagement shoot comes with every wedding booked ❤️

I’m convinced you can tell a lot about a couple by their bouquet(s). Much like the weddings themselves, every single one is completely different. Moody and dramatic, soft and wild, bright and chaotic (in the best way). The details make the day ❤️

Nobody wants to show up to their session and stand there like two people waiting for the bus. So I give prompts, and then the photos basically take themselves.
Link in bio if you want to book a session where I do all the directing and you just have to show up and be in love (low bar, very achievable).

Giving you memories to ugly cry over for the rest of your life is art. So yeah, I’m an artist (I don’t make the rules).

I have been doing this long enough to know that your wedding day is going to fly by in a way that genuinely shocks you. Like blink and it’s cocktail hour shocks you. So I take the time thing very seriously! Every single choice I make is about making sure you actually get to be present for your own day and walk away with photos that prove it ♥️

If you want a photographer who is going to lose sleep over your timeline so you don’t have to…my inbox is open and I genuinely love hearing about your day
