Meredith and I had the privilege of capturing Ana and Matt’s gorgeous, over the top awesome wedding last year (see here!) And since they had purchased the collection we call the “You are going to be really sick of us by the end of all this” collection, they still had one more shoot left to […]

Where is this year going?! As my Christmas-crazed father would say…just 45 days until Christmas! It’s funny though, when I look at my computer screen I get to re-live August. When I come into the studio each day it’s a mini trip back in tie. And then a giant leap forward through time and space […]

Enjoy this fun little engagement session with Elyse and Adam! Jeni’s Ice Cream opened up down the street from our studio a few months ago and I was yet to make it by. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to pop in! Apparently Elyse has quite the sweet tooth so a little ice cream treat […]

Ok, so total honesty here. You know how some days you’re just way more worn out than others? The days where it’s touch to get out of bed and going to work just sounds worse than it did the day before? I have those days too. Sometimes I hate to admit it. I never want […]

Ally and Scotty were my first wedding on the books for 2016 so I had been looking forward to this big day for quite awhile! It’s always an extra special honor to work with special event industry peeps. Ally runs events at Busch Stadium (cool right? I’m sure someone out there is thinking dream job!) […]

When people tell me that they want to bring an old couch or a tandem bicycle to an engagement session I’m usually stoked to have something new and fun to play with! That being said, I also tell people not to “over-prop.” And by that I mean something like: us with our dogs, us with […]

It may be 5:30 on a Friday but I told Joann I would get this up by the end of the week and I am a gal of my word! And just downright determined. And maybe a little obstinate at times. It’s one of my finer qualities I picked up from my father along the […]

I had the joy of meeting up with Katie and Jake in Chicago for a fun city engagement session! We wondered all over Lincoln Park, the lakefront, river and even hit Union Station for a few pics. So fun! And then they treated me to this amazing dinner at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder Company […]

I just saw that Kristie is back to blogging after maternity leave! Welcome back Kris! We have missed you around here. It’s really nice to have a studio full of cool chicks to bounce things off of all of the time. And to just have your back in general. As a wedding photographer it’s also […]
