Shane + Kate : Anniversary

I took Tommy and Kitchie’s photos at Lake Michigan, bright and early on a late-fall morning. We were able to catch the very end of the sunrise, and it made for some DARN pretty lighting in their photos.  These two have such a fun-loving relationship— It was so much fun to watch how giddy and […]

Tommy + Kitchie : Engagement

If you’ve been following along with me for a while now, you’ve probably seen these two before. 🙂 When planing for Thomas and Shelby’s engagement session, we decided on doing some photos in the city as well as some in nature. And boy oh boy was nature good to us on this day!  I’m so […]

Thomas + Shelby : Engagement (Pt. II)

I took my sister’s senior photos a few months ago. She’s the baby of the family, so the fact that I got to be the one to take them is so special!  Sophie requested a fall photo session, and a fall photo session is what she got. She actually got the most PERFECT fall day […]

Sophie : Senior

So, I’ve been trying out some new kinds of sessions lately and I am absolutely loving all of them. The Pfisters were one of the first new-families I have ever photographed and I fell in love with these kinds of shoots! I met the Pfisters outside in one of the Chicago neighborhoods for their session, […]

Pfister Family

Welp. I’ve managed to completely neglect my blog for the past few months, so let’s just say I will be playing catch-up for these next few weeks! First on the blog is Andie and Collin’s at-home session. Andie is actually my supervisor at the Marketing office at NPU, and her and her husband just moved […]

Collin + Andie : At-home Session

I’m gonna keep this short since this post is already freakishly long. But basically, I went to Denmark this summer and took a bunch of pics, and now it’s six months later and they’re finally done! Enjoy 🙂

Denmark : Travel

How cool is it when 2 people promise forever to each other at a place that means so much to them? That’s exactly what Hans and Anna did at Gooseberry Falls State Park in Northern Minnesota. They said their “I Do’s” on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior on a fall day with crisp air and […]

Hans + Anna : Northern Minnesota Wedding

Thomas and Shelby….oh boy. I don’t even know where to begin!! I met Thomas here at North Park. We had our Intro to the Bible and Statistics classes together during our Freshman year but never really acknowledged each other (lol). It wasn’t until the first semester of Sophomore year that we started to actually speak […]
