{Michelle+Brandon: A Chicago Elopement}

I got my first email from Michelle as they were driving their packed car and two french bulldogs across the country in a move from California to Chicago. She asked me about taking some engagement photos once they were settled in their new apartment, and then a week later said that maybe they might just […]

{Little Harrison}

You might want to sit down before viewing these, Harrison is a cutie with a capital Q and a capital T! Seriously, just look at those blue eyes and two little front teeth! I think 6 months is officially my favorite age, when babies are sitting up although still a bit wobbly (a pair of […]

{Anna introduces her new sister Eloise!}

Anna is irresistible with her red-ringlets and blue nail polish… and now she has a baby sister! She was curious to see what we were doing as we set up for some photos of tiny Eloise, she even brought her doll over for a practice run. Eloise didn’t feel like napping, it took some patience […]

{Leah: Baby Bump}

Leah was a gorgeous bride last year, and now she is the cutest pregnant woman ever! I couldn’t get over how great she looked, perfectly petit with a big-ol-belly! We kept it simple, just focusing on classic shots that show off the beauty of motherhood. She was the perfect model, it was such a pleasure […]

Baby Fivegrain!

If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Joan Cinquegrani you know that she is amazing, sweet, and oh-so adorable! I first caught site of her expanding belly at the Toast and Jam holiday party back in 2011 and was so thrilled for her. 4 months later she gave birth to a GORGEOUS baby […]

Introducing Baby Eva!

I have had the pleasure of photographing Molly, Jordan and their adorable daughter Elle over the past two years, and I was thrilled when Molly announced that they were expecting number two. Documenting the “bump” and then the baby is so much fun, and it didn’t hurt that Molly looks gorgeous pregnant! (Actually, she looks […]

Baby Carter

I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy just a few days after he was born. So precious! Seeing parents holding their first child with so much tenderness is something magical. Although I consider weddings my niche, I could certainly find more time to spend with adorable babies like Carter! The Lion King shot… […]

Baby Mateo & Baby Marcelo

What’s cuter than one little baby?? Two little babies! I met Nick and Ricardo at a wedding in September, it wasn’t until Ricardo left early that I discovered they had a lot on their plate- raising twin boys! Out came the cell phone and soon we were gushing over their photos, they were still so […]

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 […]
