    Blumen Garden, Sycamore // Marry Me in the Garden Styled Wedding

    Earthy, Vintage with a hint of glam. And so began the search for a venue. Something off the beaten Chicago wedding path with nooks and crannies that would provide plenty of opportunities to be creative. Blumen Gardens was just that place. Built in 1829 and currently home to a husband and wife team that have renovated and reinvigorated the space over the last 25 years to support their retail garden space, landscaping business and event venue. Earthy and vintage. Now for the hi

    Fullersburg Forest Preserve, Oak Brook // Jocelyn + Kody Engagement Session

    Summer just was not ready to quit! What we thought was going to be a nice fall evening turned into a hot summer night with insane humidity. No matter... Jocelyn and Kody rocked their fall color themed engagement session at one of my favorite hidden gems in Oak Brook. Jocelyn brought a cute chalkboard frame with their date to use for their Save the Date image, so we shot a few with that and started to wander the forest preserve. I had scouted a few spots that I wanted but were

    Fall Passion Project Realized

    As I continue to grow my technical capabilities in photography, it is also extremely important to work towards finding my voice. Foster those opportunities to generate something truly mine. Keep my eyes open for those situations and create images that represent me, my style, my passions. Sometimes it feels like a pipe-dream to carve out time for passion projects. Between a full time job, tending to my business and spending time with my husband, pup, friends and family… my h

    Ashley and Steve's Wedding -- Between the Rain Drops

    From the beginning of the day, the weather was questionable. On and off rain and the radar wasn’t giving us a lot of hope but everyone stayed positive. Checking the weather report every 20 min and willing the clouds away if only for an hour. I bought some cute umbrellas as a back-up plan... just in case Mother Nature didn't play nice. As Ashley and her Dad approached the crowd, the Imperial March rang out. Lightsabers rose to allow her pass and join her fiancé at the altar.
