{Rachel+David}
Some say love is like a boomerang, it keeps coming back to where it started. Rachel and David knew each other all the way through High School and College but never let things stray from being just friends. A year after college they both found themselves in Colorado and decided to start dating. Unfortunately David’s […]
{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 […]
{Vanessa+Micah: Library Love}
Vanessa and Micah are true sweethearts, they met at DePaul a few years back and have been side by side ever since. Their college years meant LOTs of studying, balanced out with aggressive games of Connect Four and walks around campus. Even now, being a few hours away from each other as Micah finishes law […]
{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 […]
103 stories in the air….
This surprise proposal took place at the amazing skydeck in the Willis Tower, shortly after closing. Not only did Bill arrange this all the way from California, but Jessie had no idea that their Chicago “tour” would lead to Bill standing in a window 103 stories up with a ring in his pocket! Obviously I […]
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 […]
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 […]
