I love that I include a newborn session with my birth photography. It feels most appropriate to get to see my wonderful birth families as a new unit. Babies change you forever, it's almost like your life before was missing them specifically. This little baby is so lucky. His big brothers are so so kind [...]
If you can imagine it this day was a dreadful cold wet morning. I had two sessions and a knee injury. Hectic awful day but with a wonderful ending. I limped through the whole session with Lynda but it was worth it. She reached out to me earlier this summer and I was immediately excited [...]
The newborn session of a beautiful boy in Aurora IL. I cannot believe they are now a family of seven, two weeks after I was at this stunning home to welcome Finnian I went back to capture them a little more relaxed and set into a routine. Well a sorta routine, I know the Lundes [...]
Baby number 5. If anyone can, this family is the perfect family for that and more. Their love runs so incredibly deep. This group of 4 boys is adding one more. Another beautiful, kind and sweet boy. Kayla is the perfect mom for boys. She raises them to embrace their wild an at the same [...]
It's been a hell of a rollercoaster of emotions on the road to this wedding, I'm sure. Having to push back dates and planning, just seems incredibly overwhelming. But at last! THEY MADE IT! The day started in the bride's childhood home in Aurora IL. I and my amazing second shooter (Jessica Rasmussen) captured the [...]
Allyson told me she fell in love with this location for the way it brought both of their stories out of it, and that's kind of my favorite thing about the session. She's from Indy and the sand dunes connected her to it, and Connell grew up in Evanston. It is just that more special [...]
Well hello there. I dragged my kids out for some self portraits and a new adventure. You want to know something.. it felt amazing. I've missed getting behind the lens, I used to do it so damn much before. It always felt like it pushed my growth. I think I'm currently stifling my creativity. So [...]
I am happy to say that I both a baby person and a dog person. & sessions with both are some of my favorites. I have to say that Big brother pup Norbert (so in love with his name) and adorable baby Reese did not dissapoint. Newborn sessions can be so comical because of their [...]
Each birth I attend is this beautiful unfolding story. My clients are all different, lighting can be diffent. Comfort levels too, Dynamics etc. First time parents however seem to all be the same. They are all at the precipice of a life changing moment, unlike anything before. I can sense the nervousness and the hesitation. [...]
Sweet December is here, and the time to meet this sweet little baby is nearing. Time has absolutely flown by. I've been pregnant a number of times and have given birth just twice. Both times it was a defferent experience. I brought those babies home and I was a different person. After my son I [...]
