I am a lover of natural light, candid moments, and ALL of the pretty little details. I am so grateful that I get to do what I am passionate about each and every day, and that I get to meet and work with such incredible people along the way.
I LOVE dogs! My golden retriever and trusty sidekick, Charlie, constantly reminds me what unconditional love is and makes me laugh every single day. You can keep up with his goofy antics by following him on Instagram, where he is far more popular than I am. If you have a pup, I would love to incorporate him or her into your engagement or wedding photos!
I love to explore new and incredible places. Among my most memorable trips were cycling through Italy and walking across Scotland. I could spend a lifetime in Positano wandering the streets, eating pasta and drinking wine.
I grew up in Paradise Valley, Arizona, and still visit my family (and photograph weddings!) out there regularly, but I have called Chicago home since 2011. My husband, Adam, and I recently moved to the Irving Park neighborhood and I absolutely love it!
I recently became obsessed with plants when we bought our house and I discovered that all of a sudden I had room for plants. I now have over 50 varieties and could spend all day talking about how cool and unique each one is!
the why
There is something so incredible about being able to freeze a moment in time and to capture it in a way that brings you right back to that place and feeling each and every time you look at an image. After all is said and done, your wedding photos are one of the only things you will have to show for this amazing life experience, so it is important to select a photographer that is a great fit for you as a couple.
I like to make people laugh and I always try to build real connections with my couples, allowing me to bring out their personalities in my portraits. My goal is to capture all of the wonderful things you experience on your wedding day, while making sure you feel comfortable and are having fun at the same time. I want you to feel like a friend is photographing your wedding, not a stranger. So let's get to know each other!
