Nora and Jared make me want to group hug for hours. They are such a perfect match and a blast to be around.

Angelika & Randy know how to weather a storm. Luckily we were "trapped" at The Brix when dodging most of the rain drops last fall.

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.

She's one of those people that truly represents turning lemons into lemonade. Her spirit, smile and positivity cannot be broken.

The session went by so quickly with some many mem

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

From working together, break-ups, overseas assignments, corporate reorgs, new loves, engagement, wedding, laughs with several bottles of wine, crazy dogs, less crazy dogs and NOW baby... watching her transform into this this amazing woman has been such a joy. And of course, getting to know Alvin has been pretty great too. I am looking forward to see how parentho

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.

I am pretty lucky to have such a partner in crime because now I get to creat
