I have to admit that I do not get many requests for outdoor family photos in the middle of winter in Chicago, but they are always so much fun that I don’t even feel cold despite the chilly temps! The Gause family was visiting from sunny California for the new year and I was so excited to […]

If you’ve been holding off on scheduling your family photos until the weather changes this spring and summer, there’s no need! The Garfield Park Conservatory in West Chicago is a beautiful option for indoor photos this winter, or any time of the year! With eight indoor show rooms housed under beautiful glass greenhouses and over 2,000 different plant […]

It was so nice to be able to photograph the wonderful Champion family this winter in Lincoln Park. I was lucky enough to meet sweet Charlotte last summer when she was just a few days old for a Fresh 48 hospital session at Prentice, and it was so exciting to see how much she has grown […]

It was such an honor to be able to help welcome little Devran to the world over the holidays for this Chicago hospital fresh 48 photo session! Fresh 48 sessions are just so special and meeting Devran and his parents, Tarik and Krysten, was no exception!  Whenever I am lucky enough to help welcome a newborn […]

Chicago’s Lincoln Park Conservatory is such a beautiful location for indoor photos and it was the perfect location to document this growing family for their maternity session.

As we count down the days until Christmas and we welcome the New Year (how can it nearly be 2020!), I wanted to share a few more images from this adorable outdoor family session at Winnemac Park in Ravenswood with the Huynh-Raffol family. Mom Nhu had initially reached out to me to schedule photos over the summer and I […]

I am so happy that I am finally able to share this outdoor fall mini family photo session with the Campbell family! I met this fun family on a very full day of fall mini sessions at Winnemac Park on one of our first cold weather days in October. This family of three was my […]

It was so wonderful to work with parents-to-be Natalie and Gregg for this beach maternity session at Chicago’s Oak Street Beach just off of busy Lakeshore Drive. Maternity sessions are always a special way to celebrate the anticipated arrival of your new little one and capture those special moments between expectant parents before their lives are […]
