Kate and Jimmy
These two have found the winning ticket! Not only were they troopers to venture out on a very cold day for our engagement session, but they politely ignored the pockets-full of tissues and various ugly flu-symptoms that I was suffering that day. I was running a fever and was barely able to talk to them […]
Sharon & Tom- A Worldly Engagement
Out of the 7 billion people in this world, somehow this Mid-western girl met this Irish boy. They fell in love and moved to Dubai. To be fair moving to Dubai was job-related, but what better proof of love than moving to the other side of the world to be together?! Luckily I was able […]
Annie and Fidel- he put a ring on it!
I have known fellow photographer Michael for a few years (his newest project is taking Chicago by storm, Potluck Creative), and when his sister got engaged she gave me a call. I was so excited! Not only are Annie and Fidel adorable (and oh-so-easy on the eyes, not to mention naturals in front of the […]
Sandy & Corey- engaged!
Whether it was the after-hours beer or the life size Jenga, their post-work gatherings offered more than just good times with friends. Sandy and Corey both found their life long drinking buddies! I am so glad that I met these two (through mutual friends/clients- the awesome Leah and Shawn), you could say after three hours […]
Elizabeth & Karl, on-stage romance
I love a good story, and these two have quite a doozy. Imagine two actors being cast as man and wife in a play, and then playing the same husband/wife roles in another play, and another… talk about foreshadowing! Maybe the directors saw something they didn’t, and finally Karl made a move and they gave […]
Alexys and David- Lamplighter love
Alexys and David have a special place… it’s not only where they went many times while coming of age, but they met here and he even proposed to her here! And I give David props for his timing- on a beautiful snowy morning he woke her up, got the dogs in the car and drove […]
Rebekah & Rishi- Love sweet love
It’s a great experience to photograph a couple that not only has a ton of love for each other but are also best friends. And when they bring along man’s best friend… their very cute companions? Perfection! Becky and Rishi have built a wonderful relationship along with their two dogs, it’s a package deal. We […]
Stacie & Vladik- A Risk Worth Taking
After a few unsuccessful dates (or maybe more than a few), Vladik decided to do something bold. He logged into his J-date account and sent a message to EVERY girl with a profile matching his age group, determined to pursue the first person that responded. Guess who sent him a message just minutes later? Not […]
Jaime + Aaron
I have to thank Kara Superfine of Bliss Weddings and Events for introducing me to this adorable couple! Not only do Jaime and Aaron have the best smiles (Aaron is a dentist after all!), but they are very well matched. Her beautiful long hair and fantastic freckles with his boyish charm and blue eyes make […]
Trudie and Mark- Soulmates!
I met Trudie and Mark at the Paris club this past winter during a bridal fair. When they walked by my table we both did a double take, there was something so familiar about them. It’s one of those moments you can’t quite put your finger on, an instant kinship felt with someone you just […]
