Oh failures, how bittersweet they are. I mean you never set out to fail, sometimes we self sabotage and it ends up being self professed thing. I truly believe that. I just couldn't find the drive to move forward with this project back in February, life has been a steady flow of up and downs. [...]
You better believe I left this session just elated from working with all of these beautiful ladies. We started our photoshoot together at the Colectivo coffee shop in Wicker Park. There I captured them enjoying each others presence. They read some fun questions and played cards with each other, tears were shed, loud belly laughs [...]
This beautiful location has garnished some love from my clients. It is the perfect romantic backdrop for the celebration of love. Every time lately that I get asked what I photograph I am finding that my answer is just love. Love is the center of it all. Love is the fuel. Love is the vehicle. [...]
Indoor winter maternity session on the couch with the love of your life and your pup, I mean what could be better!. I got to capture the first half of Maddie's brand new life one cold dreary morning, the newborn session is soon to come. But I love how imperfect life unfolds. Welcoming a brand [...]

Winter is the calm after the busy Fall season. It goes by rather quickly. I'm so grateful for that calmness but I like being in the thick of my client work the most. This year however I decided to embrace some personal work a little more for these restless days. The challenge was quite simple [...]
Off the side of the road, can you believe it. Sometimes I get a little wacky. I have come to acceptance when it comes to locations in Chicago. I cannot get beautiful uncrowded beaches most of the time. I cannot build gorgeous mountains or views that do not exist. So I always try to get [...]
