One thing that I love about MY brides is that we almost always click instantly. Now that I am becoming a little more seasoned as a wedding photographer I’ve learned the importance of having that connection and sharing the same vision with your couples and not just providing a service to collect a paycheck.

Read MoreHappy Wednesday guys! I know Chicago is basically the North Pole right now so I thought this would be a great time to share photos from a warmer more colorful time.

The goal of this styled shoot is to celebrate the color blue by creating an intimate monochromatic scene using various shades of soft and pale blues, accented with copper and touches of white. We photographed the styled shoot at University Golf Club (a gorgeous golf course club house) in University Park, IL.

Capturing special moments of my family, friends, and peers. That is what was so nice about this Bridal Session with Ashley and Drew. Ashley and I went to high school together.

When Joy and Nick chose me to be their Chicago Wedding Photographer last fall, I instantly fell in love with them. Their love and connection made our Chicago Engagement Photo Session a breeze.
