{Katie & Greg: A Perfect 300}

Maybe it was the ice cold Coors, or their exceptional bowling skills… the stars definitely aligned the night these two met. Greg is the kind of guy that wants it all, and he bowled a perfect score with Katie! Funny and smart, beautiful and silly, sophisticated and casual, the kind of girl that can appreciate […]

{Lori&Pete: Happy}

These two come to mind when I hear the “Happy” song, a sweet joyfulness that’s super contagious (no matter how many times you hear Pharrell Williams on the radio you can’t help but snap your fingers and tap your toes). Even though they still have that wonderful shyness around each other, the kind made of […]

{Kelsey+Ryan: Engaged!}

Ryan was really excited to propose to Kelsey. He wanted to surprise her with a perfect moment on the rooftop overlooking the city as the sun set, with roses, champagne… and a photographer! Luckily in his search for “Chicago Proposal Photography” he found my name, and I love photographing proposals (seriously, I REALLY do). It’s […]

{Katie+Chaz: Cheers to Love!}

Katie was the maid-of-honor at Diana and Kyle’s wedding a couple of years ago, and played a critical role (actually she’s 100% responsible, thanks Katie!) in introducing Diana to my photography. I may have said to Katie more than a few times at Diana’s wedding “when you get engaged, you’d better call me.” And guess […]

{Martina+Lester: Botanic Garden Engagement}

Sometimes it makes sense to reschedule… a rainy overcast day one week earlier just wouldn’t have been the same. We waited until the following weekend and were rewarded with moderate temperatures, beautiful golden sunlight as the day started to dim, and the last traces of color on the ground and in the trees before Winter […]

{Yiming and Justin: A Snowy Engagement}

As I headed out to meet with Yiming and Justin it started to snow… it snowed and snowed, then snowed some more. But that didn’t deter us! They were getting ready for their wedding in China at the end of this month so they really wanted some Chicago photos. Although chilly temperatures and melted snow […]

{Ritika+Raktim: Windy City Romance}

This lovely couple wanted to take some photos around Chicago before their overseas wedding, I am so glad they contacted me! We met up in the financial district and lucked out with a gorgeous day, and don’t they make a stunning pair?! It couldn’t have been easier capturing them in several of my favorite city […]

{Becky+John: Be Happy}

This pair has me by the heartstrings… I seriously can’t get enough of their wonderful energy. There is a sweetness that resonates with them, and it has me grinning from ear to ear. Yes, I sound like a stalker, but I love their love and there is nothing better than getting to tell their love […]

{Lauren+Parker: A Chicago Engagement}

Lauren and Parker appreciate the finer things in life… great food and drinks, and of course each other! Whether we are chatting about a new restaurant opening or a recent rock concert, they are always a blast to be around. They are funny, sweet, and downright adorable! We explored some Wicker Park locations, made it […]

{Margaret+Jerel: A Fall Engagement}

Fall is the perfect time of year to fall in love all over again… the dreamy sunlight and crunch of leaves underfoot, the way the air smells, snuggling up to stay warm, etc. It’s the best, and made even better with some Pinkberry! So that’s what we did, we started our photo session with the […]
