There’s something extraordinary about watching a family grow right in front of my lens. This past year with baby Cameron has been such a joy. From his snuggly newborn days to his twinkly-eyed holiday session, and then from his sweet seven-month portraits to this moment—his first birthday celebration—we’ve officially come full circle. His First Year […]

Ah, fall family photo season — also known as the great race against the leaves, the weather, and everyone else trying to get their holiday cards out on time. 🍂 Every year, as soon as that first cool morning hits, my inbox fills up with families ready to capture those golden tones, cozy sweaters, and the annual “how […]

This was the summer of the third babies! ☀️💛 I had the sweetest session with a former college teammate and her newest little one—baby #3.

(Take a peek inside their big day for even more feels.) Fast forward to fall 2024, […]

The Saul Family found me through previous clients, and I was so excited to work with this amazing crew! We met at a new-to-me location for their fall family session. Somehow, in my six years photographing families, this was my first time at Humboldt Park in Chicago—but I am certain it will not be my […]
