{Stacie+Vladik: Winter Wedding at the Westin}

Stacie and Vladik did not feel the slightest chill on their wedding day, they were so caught up in all the love that surrounded them! Not only did Stacie wear the most amazing smile from start to finish (never before have I seen a bride smile perfectly in EVERY SINGLE PHOTO!!), Vladik even indulged in […]

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 […]

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 […]

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… […]

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 […]

{Amy+Brandon: Love at the Hotel Allegro}

If there is one person that can talk Brandon into just about anything, it’s Amy. But she didn’t have to talk him into falling for her, he was a goner the moment they met. Tall, blond, blue-eyed, and funny… he was ready to sign up! Their friends are pretty great too, in fact at the […]

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 […]
