Baby Ethan

I had the pleasure of photographing Krista and Tim’s wedding a couple of years ago at Architectural Artifacts… now their family has a new member. Meet baby Ethan, what a doll! He inherited his parent’s beautiful blue eyes, and perhaps a bit of his dad’s seriousness (it wasn’t easy coaxing a smile out of this […]

Baby Olivia, take two

One the best, most amazing, perks of this job is maintaining relationships with people by continually documenting the best moments of their lives. What an awesome responsibility! I knew Sara and Matt before Olivia was even a twinkle in their eye, and now she is getting so big! You may remember this little nugget of […]

Baby Abby

I have fond memories of Suzanne and Shawn’s wedding, so when they contacted me for photos of their little girl I was thrilled. She inherited their amazing blue eyes- so irresistible! Abigail is beautiful and sweet, and so fun to photograph. From her big smiles while playing with her toys, to her blackberry smeared face, […]

Baby Alec

Diana and Gus met me while attending their friend’s wedding this past February when baby Alec was still itsy bitsy (about 2 months old), and when they decided to have his photos taken they gave me a ring. Not only was I excited to spend time with close friends of Leah and Shawn (because they […]

Baby Frankie

I have a serious soft spot for this family! Not only did I photograph Julia’s wedding last Fall (at which both Dan and Melissa were in attendance, and Melissa was “very” pregnant with baby Frankie), but I also photographed 9 dogs for Julia’s booming dog sitting business. When Dan and Melissa came back to Chicago […]

Introducing Vivienne Josephine!

It is not only a pleasure to watch a family grow, but to be the documentarian as each new member is added is truly something special. I have been photographing little Norah since she was a baby, and now she has a sister. Vivienne has the same stunning blue eyes and propensity to smile, these […]

Introducing Baby Olivia!

I love a good excuse for catching up with my brides and grooms, and when they welcome a new member to the family I am beyond thrilled to make a house call with my camera in hand. Matt and Sara are a stunning couple, and I knew baby Olivia was going to be an exceptionally […]

Make way for momma!

Now that I’m older, many of my friends (and family too) have not only found themselves in relationships, but they have jumped head first into parenthood. It’s fascinating to watch the transition… seeing bodies change, lifestyles are flipped upside down, and sleep deprivation puts relationships to the test. But there is no question that those […]

Puppies and ice cream…

Photographing the Nowak family was a blast! I have known Linnea for a couple of years and was so flattered when she asked me to photograph her family. Not only are her daughters adorable, but the newest member of the family came along to add even more cuteness- Darla the pug puppy! We had so […]

Baby Elle

I first met Elle last year before the holidays when she was still just a baby. Now she has blossomed into an adorable, bubbly, and very mobile little girl. Who could resist these bright blue eyes and toothy smiles? What a fun afternoon of photographing Elle and her parents, even the dog participated. I am […]
