Read MoreThere are so many things I loved about Allie + Kenny's engagement session!. The weather was sunny and mild, they were the sweetest couple with the CUTEST Pomeranian pup name Barley, AND umm..her RING! Talk about a stunner...!
We had a great time walking around the city to some of Chicago's most iconic locations including the Chicago Riverwalk, Wrigley Building, Michigan Avenue and La Salle Street Bridge. This sweet couples loves Chicago views, so it makes sense that they tie the knot next year at the Loew's Hotel roof deck in downtown Chicago (with some of the most stunning city views in the city!)

When Jenna Colgrove, popular fashion blogger behind Visions of Vogue, contacted me to ask if I would photograph her and her husband to commemorate their 6 month anniversary, I CLEARLY jumped at the chance. Jenna and Matt, who currently reside in Los Angeles, were in Chicago for the holidays and wanted to take the opportunity to get some photos in iconic Chicago locations. We started the day at Chicago's Union Station and took some adorable shots by the iconic ivory columns.
Read MoreThe freezing Chicago winter temperatures did not stop this sweet family from enjoying every moment of their family photo session. We started out at Oak Street Beach in Chicago where Dashi and Teddy's (newlyweds) chemistry was undeniable and a pleasure to photograph. Even grandma was a good sport about hiking out onto the snow covered sand for a snap. We then went to the Bonphotage studio where the family laughed and posed for a few more snaps.
Read MoreThere’s nothing I love more than to capture candid moments between loved ones.

When the Harris family arrived at the Bonphotage Studio, I was greeted by the sweetest of smiles from their entire family. Here are just a few of my favorite moments from their candid family portrait session!
Read MoreThe only thing better than an adorable dog is four of them. Pinch me because I couldn’t ask for a better job. The sun was still shining in California when I met up with Mary and her *beyond cute* gang of golden retrievers and a maltese, Mickey, Layla, Hurley and Gunther. We had a great time bribing the pups with treats in exchange for a sweet smile. I adore so many of their images from their family and pet photography session. Here are just a few of my favorites - enjoy!
Read MoreA photo is worth a thousand words. To me, a photo is most meaningful when it gives us a glimpse of the beautiful story we all have behind us. We found love, we found a family, we found each other. Jill and Darrell and their adorable french bulldog Walter, are building some beautiful things together and I couldn’t be happier to have captured this adorable trio. Here are just a few of my favorites. Enjoy!
Read MoreThere is no replacement for a natural smile and a candid, happy moment. The Bavelis boys made it so easy to capture those authentic shots. After meeting at the Bonphotage studio and playing with balloons and Christmas tree ornaments, Theo, Joanne, their two adorable boys and I headed over to Olive park. The children took turns jumping from one step to the next and giving each other sweet hugs for the camera in between. This family was just such a joy to have in front of my lens. Here are just a few of my favorites from their session. Enjoy.
