Okay ALL, this is last call. My Pixieset links will disable after this Friday. If you have not done so, please download your available photos and store them in a safe place either on a cloud or USB drive. To cancel means that the photos will no longer be available to you or me, and it's extremely tedious to go through 10+ years of hard drives digging to retrieve these photos! I've held out on the public links for as long as I could!!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions :) Thank you!

Had the best time catching up with clients that go back YEARS for me.. I've watched couples become parents, newborns become toddlers, parents become grandparents! What an honor. I love you all!

This is a reminder to get your Pixieset links downloaded by June 30th! It will be deactivated after that. Let me know if you need your download link :)

Hi everyone! I have a few things of importance to share, if you've ever been photographed by me :) I will be disabling the database in which I use that stores all of your lovely photos. If you need a link resent to you because you haven't downloaded your gallery and saved it in an external place, please let me know. I'll be closing the sharing links on June 1st! I'll be using a new program for the summer for the shoots I'll be doing from that point on.

I'll be in the area (Oswego-Sandwich) also on June 1st if anyone would like to schedule a mini shoot or two as well! Limited spots available!!

It's been a while since I've been active on this page, but truly life is so sweet and with having my business transition over the last 3 years, I'm in such a happy creative place that I'm so grateful for! I still shoot from time to time, so don't hesitate to reach out and schedule something if you're looking for a photographer. My camera and I are still best buds ;) Chat soon!!!

THE END OF AN ERA!!! Steff and I are officially retired from shooting weddings, and how bittersweet it is! It's been a wild ride of meeting and working with couples over the last 13 years; I've truly never known anything other than waking up on the weekends and partying with you all. Weddings will hold a special place in my career forever simply with how much they've taught me about people and business- thank you so much to everyone who has trusted us with arguably the biggest day of your life. It's been a blast, I am so grateful to have pulled so many amazing memories from this chapter in my life. But ALAS, we move forward :) onto what's next!!!

I'm still booking Chicagoland area photoshoots :) couples, engagements, lifestyle etc. all that jazz. Just not the big shebang of a wedding. Meanwhile Steff is still booking out in Scottsdale! I don't think there will ever be a day in my life that I don't have a camera in my hand, so I most definitely still want your face in front of it!!

Here are some scenes from our final wedding! And yes, that is Steff twerking up on the wall. We love you Erin + Victor!!!
