The Guzman extended family session in Oak Brook IL

The Guzman extended family session in Oak Brook IL

I photographed the beautiful Guzman extended family in Oak Brook this past fall, it wasn't a terribly cold day but it was cold enough. Thankfully teens seem to not feel any of it ever. It's quite funny. I will be brutally honest that showing up to a session full of Gen Z kids was intimidating [...]

I photographed this sweet little baby's newborn session earlier this year and I recently got the chance to go see the tremendous growth that can happen in just 6 months.

Aguinaga’s family session, Downtown Chicago IL

The Aguinaga family personality is as big as their home state of Texas. They were in town for some difficult days, but I love that they wanted to prioritize capturing the beauty of their family.

A freelensing session in Austin | Chicago and west suburbs photographer

This week I am highly reminiscing about my session in Austin. I taught a bunch of incredible women how to shoot more abstract and diffrent by using a little bit of freelensing. For those that don't know about freelensing, Freelens means being intentional with bokeh and blur. It takes a little bit of patience and [...]

Fresh 48 Baby Ana Maria | Best Downtown Chicago and West suburbs newborn photographer

I came back to visit with this little lady the day after her birth. It was so worth it to be able to see her lovely face again with a little less puffyness and much more calmness. I would honestly recommend a fresh 48 if you budget doesn't allow for a birth package. It did [...]
