Morton Arboretum Engagement // Laura & Jon
My sweet, cuddle, adorable, magical humans. Laura and Jon met at University of Illinois. They were in the marching band together and "remember that time at band-camp".... no no just kidding. These two are hikers, nature lovers & music connoisseurs. Laura and Jon wanted to capture their engagement photos at The Morton Arboretum because Jon proposed there. They were so adventurous and patient with all my "OMG this spot" need to stop a million times along our time together.

Chicago Boudoir // HH at Inspired Eye Studio
HH has a story to tell. She has gone through some serious life changes and was ready to celebrate how she came out on the other side. She's one of those people that truly represents turning lemons into lemonade. Her spirit, smile and positivity cannot be broken. We had the most amazing time in the studio this past January getting to know each, sharing stories of body image struggles and joking about our killer dance moves. The session went by so quickly with some many mem

Chicago Portrait Session // Dr. Michelle D
Amazing women make AMAZING portrait subjects. Dr. Michelle happened to be in town from Texas one weekend.

The Doc was looking for some new headshots for herself as she was kicking off her Instagram and Blog for her business - A Therapist specializing in Health Psychology. After we were done (and a little during) we shared some wine and found out we had so much in common. Gy

The "Back Room" Studio is OPEN!
For those of you not aware, my husband and I have been quietly working on renovating a room in our home to create studio space for boudoir, portraits and headshots. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He's a drywall spackling machine and very creative. He helped me create a beautiful space, handmade headboard for the room and put up with my indecisiveness on some finishing touches. I am pretty lucky to have such a partner in crime because now I get to creat
