Senior season!!! I've spent years photographing se

Senior season!!! I've spent years photographing senior girls and loving it, and this year - so far, almost all boys on the schedule. I admit, it intimidates me, because I feel out of my element. Fortunately, the first three have been amazing - and hoping the string continues!

I've know. @zioncollazo since he was a "wee lad," and watching him grow into a strong, smart young man has been just great.

Here is to all the adventure that awaits....

And a few more frames from today's wedding with Aaron and Kyle. I even got to have @thebeertruck with me for the ceremony and after, and then got to have a quick lunch date!

I do have to thank Dan here, because if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ever connected with these two (and countless others). He's my biggest marketer!

But back to these two - their vows had us all sniffling and wiping things from our eyes. So real, so beautiful.

Thanks for having us be part of this special day. Love you both!

Today with Kyle and Aaron celebrating their love has been wonderful. Just wonderful.

A massive change of plans from the original date, location and style, and it all came together perfectly.

That fall light is *muah*.....dreamy.

Although Arden and Asher were sad my girls weren't along with me, I think we still had enough fun to make up for the loss!

Shooting in fall is my favorite - the light is gorgeous, and while the weather is amazing, I want to squeeze as much in as possible.

This next week looks amazing, so if you want family photos, LET'S DO IT.

Session time: 6:30ish.
location: Millenium Park
Message me for rates and to pick a date. IF you can gather up friends (one-two more families), I'll schedule a one day mini session offering.

Basically, I want to enjoy every moment of this light.

Photographing food is fun, but cooking it is extra fun!

I made these roasted tomatoes using all the excess ones we have in the house (we always have so many!), cutting them in half, slicing fresh garlic, and tossing it all with @centofinefoods EVOO, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. 2 hours at 250 degrees, then pour a little more fresh oil over the top and save to toss with some pasta later!

This is late in posting, but this August was anoth

This is late in posting, but this August was another amazing birth experience for me - this time with Courtney and Nathan, as they welcomed their son into the world.

I've seen a fair number of births now, but Courtney's sheer willpower (and pain tolerance) amazed me.

We had the most conversational experience during her labor, with lots of laughs, good conversation - and also a great time working with one of my favorites, @kristin_revere from @goldcoastdoulas!

I love being present and part of birth - it's such a powerful moment to share with someone (even when you officially meet in the elevator on the way to being admitted!). I'm honored every time I am asked to be there!

I'm still welcoming birth clients (home or hospital) through 2020, and the first few months into 2021. If you're interested in learning more about what I offer, and why I love it, please hit me up!

It's fall, y'all, and that means session season is

It's fall, y'all, and that means session season is in full swing. And believe it or not, despite kids at home, I'm still booking sessions (family, senior, maternity) - and trying to squeeze in as many as possible for the next few weeks while it's still lovely outside.

My dates are filling up fast, so if you're interested, DM me for pricing and availability ASAP!

Thanks @cosmourse and Miss Robin!

Yesterday while photographing some @carmelafoods products (aren't these @centofinefoods products GORGEOUS?), Eleanor took over and started moving the product - "trust me mom, it looks better like this" - and then we took it up a level and I let her use my camera and have a little fun. Thirty minutes later and my counter was full of product setups, and she was having a blast!

The second picture here is one SHE took, and the third one I took with her setup.

This kid is definitely a creative. And a good director....

"Did we just become best friends?"

Stepbrothers and seniors, silly and fun. While they might drive their parents a little crazy, every moment with Cam and Gav tonight was super fun - even including their crazy ideas made the shoot more exciting!!
