A new milestone for BIK Photography. 🖤

This is my third publication, but my very first magazine feature.

Seeing my work published in Shutter Up Magazine feels incredibly special, and I’m so grateful to every client who has trusted me to document their families, milestones, and memories along the way.

A huge thank you to all of my clients who allowed me to use their images for this Siblings edition! They were all worth publishing in my book!

Thank you, Shutter Up Magazine, for featuring my work. 🤍

I realized the other day that I’ve barely even touched my computer in the last two weeks. 😅

Not because I disappeared from photography or have some big dramatic announcement... life has just been FULL.
A huge chunk of the last couple weeks has been spent helping get the new taekwondo school ready for its grand opening, running back and forth with kids, getting everyone back into the school-year routine, keeping up with home life (or at least attempting to 😂), and generally having about 47 things happening at once.

Photography has actually had to take a little bit of a back seat—which is very unlike me. My computer and I are usually much better friends than this. 😂

But we made it through grand-opening weekend, September is here, and I’m very ready to settle back into a little more normalcy and get back to creating again.

And since I feel like I’ve been living in my own little chaos bubble lately... tell me what’s happening in YOUR world.

What’s one thing you’re looking forward to this fall? 🍂

Sharing this again as there are limited spots left and I don’t want you to miss out!

These are my regular 1-hour sessions, with more time to capture your family as they really are — not just an updated family photo. If you’re mainly looking for a beautiful family photo for your annual Christmas cards, my mini sessions are probably more up your alley.

I may take the photographs, but the memories belong to you. 🤎

I love sharing my work. Of course I do — I’m proud of what I create, and sharing some of it is how future clients get to know my photography.

But your session is not automatically mine to share with the world.

Your family. Your children. Your milestones. Your story.

If you would rather keep your images completely private, you can always tell me that. No explanation needed. I will respect it.

And even when I do have permission to share, I try to be intentional about what I put online — especially when children are involved. I don’t need to show the internet every beautiful photograph we created for it to have value.

Some memories deserve to stay yours. 🤎

POV: You’re a photographer who has officially reached her spam-message limit for the week. 😂

It started with:
“Are you available to give my daughter a photoshoot?”

It ended with:
“Meet me at the Grand Canyon at midnight. September 15, 2077”
and
“Yes, I accept Zelle. There’s a $1,000 fee.”

I would like to formally apologize to absolutely no one.

These scam inquiries have gotten SO ridiculous that sometimes the only reasonable response is to see how long they’re willing to keep going.

Spoiler: apparently pretty long. 😂

Real clients, please continue emailing me.

Scammers, if you’re going to waste my time, just know there is now a very real possibility I will waste yours right back. 😂

Respectfully,
Not your bruh.

Fall Mini Sessions are officially open 🍂

These are for anyone who wants a few updated photos without committing to a full session — families, couples, maternity, kids, or just a quick refresh before the end of the year.

15 minutes
8 edited images
$200 + tax
St. James Farm in Warrenville
Sunday, October 4

There are 9 spots available, and because fall evenings lose light fast, session times are limited to the best available light.

One family/household per spot. If two families would like to be photographed together, please reserve two consecutive times.

These are also perfect if you’ve been meaning to update your family photos before Christmas cards sneak up on you. 🍁

A day late for World Photography Day, but I ended up thinking about this a little more than I expected to.

I started going through old photos trying to figure out what I wanted to share, and I realized I wasn’t choosing the technically best ones.

Not even close.

Some of these photos wouldn’t survive five minutes in a photography critique group.

I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

I’ve been taking pictures for probably 30 years, and long before I knew anything about lighting, composition, lenses, posing, wardrobe, or any of the technical things I know now, I picked up a camera because I wanted to remember something.

A person. A pet. A place. A season of life I didn’t yet realize I was going to miss.

And all these years later, even after becoming a photographer and learning how to make an image beautiful, I realized that part of me hasn’t really changed.

I’m still looking for the same thing.

That little moment that makes me think, “Oh, I’d want to remember that.”

The way someone holds their child. The way siblings lean into each other. The look between two people. The things happening in between the pictures we thought we were there to take.

Of course I care about good light, composition, flattering angles, and all the technical pieces. Those things matter.

But they aren’t the reason I fell in love with photography.

A photograph doesn’t have to contain the whole memory. Sometimes it just gives you the doorway back into it.

Back to the person. The place. The feeling. The version of your life that doesn’t exist anymore.

And I think that will always be my favorite thing about photography.

So take the picture.

Even if the light isn’t perfect.
Even if the house is messy.
Even if nobody is dressed the way you’d planned.
Even if it’s just your phone.

Then go live the life you’ll eventually wish you had pictures of.

Happy belated World Photography Day. 📷🤍

Eight years married today. 🤍

We got married in our backyard.

My sister-in-law and I hand-dyed coffee filters to make the backdrop, my brother built the frame, and we stretched a gray sheet across it. My bouquet was made from weeds and wild things I picked around town. My brother-in-law officiated. Our roommate took the photos, thank you Lu!

The only people there were our parents, siblings, best man and maid of honor, my neice and nephews, and my girls.

We wrote our own vows—and Jong turned his into a song and sang it to me while a hummingbird hovered above him.

Then we all went inside and had our reception in our dining room, which we had turned into our own tiny little reception hall.

And eight years later, I still think it was one of the most beautiful things we’ve ever done.

I’ve done the bigger wedding, too, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a huge celebration. But there was something about stripping everything else away and making the day almost entirely about the two people getting married that I will always love.

A whole lot of life has happened since that day, and I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come and the life we’ve built together.

Happy 8th anniversary to us. 🤍

P.S. And maybe this is my photographer brain talking, but if you’re ever planning a tiny backyard wedding, courthouse ceremony, or intimate little “just our people” kind of day… please call me. Because those have had my heart for a long time. 🥹

Just a little reminder that BIK Photography gift certificates are available year-round! 🎁

And with fall somehow already right around the corner, it’s not too early to start thinking about Christmas gifts. ❤️

Photography makes such a meaningful gift for grandparents, parents, growing families, expecting mamas, couples… or that person who has been saying for two years, “we really need updated pictures.” 😂

Gift certificates can be purchased now and used toward a future session, so they’re perfect for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, Mother’s Day — really, any time of year.

Also, a little heads-up as we start looking toward 2027: I’ll be making some pricing adjustments to a few of my services next year.

So if photos have been on your list for 2026, this fall is a great time to take advantage of my current pricing!

🍂 Fall sessions are booking now
🌲 Tree Farm Minis are booking now
🎅 And I’m hoping to have Baking with Santa minis coming this holiday season!

Message me anytime if you’d like a gift certificate or information about an upcoming session. ❤️

Gift certificates are available year-round in amounts from $50–$500. 🎁

Okay, Facebook is making this harder and harder. 😂

I’ve had my BIK Photography VIP email list for a couple of years now, but I’ve noticed that a lot of you who follow me here still aren’t on it.

And I think it’s time I start pushing it a little harder.

Between Facebook deciding what posts you actually see, all the spam/scam nonsense, and now limiting how often business accounts can post outside links… social media is becoming a pretty unreliable way for me to make sure information actually gets to you.

I’ve always used my VIP list for things like early access, mini session announcements, special offers, and other little extras.

But going forward, I’m seriously considering moving more of my regular BIK Photography communication there too.

And if you’re already on my list, do me a favor and check your spam or promotions folder once in a while too. Even some of my own emails have landed there. 😅 Adding my email address to your contacts or safe-sender list can help make sure they actually land where you’ll see them.

So if you want to know when I open fall dates, announce minis, release special offers, add new session ideas, or have something coming up that you might want first dibs on… you’re probably going to want to be on that list.

Because unfortunately, following my page doesn’t necessarily mean Facebook is going to show you everything I post anymore. 😵‍💫

And I already used my TWO outside-link posts for the month. In August. 😂

So…

🤎 Comment VIP below and I’ll send you the sign-up link.

OR

🤎 I’ll leave the link in the comments too. It may not show up clickable, but you can still copy and paste it into your browser.

And yes… my VIPs have something coming very soon. 👀🍂
