Meeting new clients is always so exciting. For this lovely session we were all so grateful at the way the weather gave us a huge break, you just never know what you'll get in November/December in Chicago. If you're a Local photographers you know how repetitive locations can feel. My client lives in the area [...]
Throughout our whole session I felt so connected to their family story. It was so heart breaking to hear the longing to be somewhere else, to go back to their home Venenzuela. But truly the way I saw them, it felt that even though circumstances (much like my own) have forced them to migrate to [...]
Strong like thunder he came. While I wasn't able to be present during his birth, I heard all about her birth plan for him. His mom had all the confidence it took to educate herself and have the birth she always wanted. At home surrounded by light and love. She is definitely full of tenacity. [...]
“Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.” ― Napoleon Bonaparte I am in awe of this incredible mama. The grace and strength she showed during her incredible birth story was so powerful. This sweet baby decided to start making her appearance while I was away in [...]
Flabbergasted by her beauty. Sometimes in this line of work you get meet some truly calm and powerful souls. The way in which she told me her birth plan was amazing, full of hope and steadiness. Nothing could rock her. For her session we headed to the beach, probably the only available location due to [...]
Oh my heart. This sweet baby girl is basically the poster child for a happy baby. If I had a penny for every smile and coo she blessed me with during our session together I would be very a wealthy woman. She is just to loved. I could see that with every look from her [...]
It's been a tough spring. So many feelings and a ton of movement in my head. Lately I have settled that I am way too comfortable where I am. Growth is like that shitty but lovely plant that just won't budge unless you significant things to help it along. I've been stagnant for a while. [...]
Here back again with this beautiful family. When I met K she was a mom of two and so was I. While I still am a mom of two, she has added two additional beautiful boys since then. I couldn't tell you how different we are. Once of the things we have in common is [...]
What an honor it is to continue to see families grow older and older. Sometimes it's so hard to see time reflected back at you, but when you have been a part of someone's journey since birth. Well that's just beyond incredible (find gemma's birth here) you can see how fast time really does fly, [...]
The authenticity of this family is just so apparent, isn't it? I had lunch with the beautiful Jazmine, and she just completely blew me away. She is someone who continuously is doing something to better her spiritual life and the one of her community. They are hella inspiring. Plus the hearts of those girls are [...]
