As my business continues to grow year after year, so do the moments I get to share with the people who’ve been with me since the early days. Jake first reached out to me years ago for a snowy Chicago engagement session. Since then, I’ve had the absolute privilege of photographing nearly every major milestone that’s followed: […]

Some couples like to take a “we don’t need a huge wedding to make it epic” stance. Jen and Ben (yes, the cutest pair of names there ever was) are one of those couples. They traded the guest list for city views, the ballroom for bustling streets, and “just married” joy for, well . . […]

When all the stars align, the answer is yes—and that’s just what happened with Sarah, Joe, and their sweet baby, Elle. This beautiful backyard wedding reception was a dream. I first met Sarah and Joe back in March […]

If you’re wondering how […]
