If your little one is no longer in onesies and swaddles and instead playing tickle fight and tag, it’s probably time for some updated family photos (perhaps in one of Chicago’s prettiest parks?!). That’s exactly what the Villa family had in mind. I am so very fortunate to have wedding clients continue to hire me […]

This is just one of those sessions you have to see for yourself, and I am so ready to share it with you! It showcases the kind of love that’s so big, so generous, it spills over from one family to another. The kind of love that has a heartbeat outside your own chest. And […]

Oh, baby Cameron! I just cannot get enough of his sweet smiles and handsome face. At seven months old, this little guy has officially mastered the art of charming everyone he meets.

Emily is my best friend’s little sister, and […]
