I believe in memories and moments and all the tiny unforgettable things that happen in between. I love real laughter, genuine love, fresh air, and the kind of laid back couples who want to kick off their shoes, splash in a lake, run through a field, and laugh until their stomachs hurt. If you're into a bit of sarcasm, not taking yourself too seriously, and photos that feel as real as you are, I just might be the photographer, and friend for you.
I'm a "wear my heart on my sleeve", up for any adventure, hopeless romantic kinda girl. I love, love, and getting to meet the most wonderful couples (and their dogs) in the world. My photography style is true to color and true to the moment - capturing not just how this season of life looks, but how it feels.
I'M JUST A GIRL STANDING
IN FRONT OF A COUPLE,
ASKING THEM TO LET ME
BE THEIR THIRD WHEEL

If you’re wondering how […]
There are some days you just don’t want to end. Petra & Marissa’s intimate Venue 5126 wedding was one of those days—the kind that leaves your cheeks sore from smiling (and maybe from a couple of teary moments you didn’t see coming). I walked onto the grounds that morning, camera bag bumping against my hip. […]
As a River Forest newborn photographer, some of the stories I capture start with a first hello, while others begin before that—with a tiny flutter, a glowing mama, and the anticipation that the best is still to come. This is one of those stories. When I first met up with Kristen and Will for their […]
