Melissa and Tracey planned their German Village wedding exactly as they wanted! It was a chilly morning that third Saturday in March as Melissa arrived with her family to begin setting up chairs at the stage in Schiller Park. Once Tracey arrived, I took the two of them out for some portraits together. Despite the…
When Maggie + Zak first planned their March wedding at Jorgensen Farms’ Oak Grove, I’m sure they did not envision snow! But that’s what they got! Their St. Patrick’s Day Irish-Jewish wedding day began with sunny spring-like conditions (though a bit chilly), but by evening it went full-on snowglobe. And it was gorgeous! We began…
My first spring engagement of the season! I met up with Stephanie and Daniel and their 6 month old puppy Cooper for their engagement session last week in German Village. We started with some pictures of the pup right on S 3rd Street by the Book Loft. After maxing out as much bribery as Cooper…
This session was the perfect follow-up to Stella and Jonathan’s maternity session back in December. Baby Luca arrived on schedule and perfect in every way. I loved coming to their home and photographing their new little family, and including pup Koda in as many photos as she would allow. Some of them came out quite…
Unfortunately, I am not available for Ena and Abbie’s 2020 wedding – another couple beat them to it. I was really bummed to turn them away, but then they asked me to shoot their engagement session! How cool is that?! I loved having the opportunity to work with them! We met up on a Monday…
Sara and Kevin are two of the sweetest and most genuine people you could ever hope to meet. They absolutely adore each other and their families have such love for them! From the moment I met them I knew it would be a joy to document their engagement and wedding day memories. That Saturday in…
It was a cold Friday evening in early February, when I waited for Sara and Ben to approach Spagio Restaurant. It was just another date night for Sara, but Ben had a surprise! As they approached the entrance, Ben dropped to one knee and surprised Sara with a ring! She said YES! And I was…
At their August 2018 wedding, Melissa + Jay surprised their guests by announcing they were expecting! A little over 3 months after I delivered their wedding images to them, they welcomed baby Derek and invited me to their home to capture their first portraits together as a family. Their pup Gia joined for a few…
15-year-old Katie is legit one of the coolest kids I’ve ever met! She felt a connection to Judaism and decided she wanted to convert. She completed the process and now is becoming a bat mitzvah next month! I cannot wait to photograph it! In preparation for the big day, we met up earlier this month…
I absolutely love photographing maternity sessions! It is one of my favorite sessions to photograph. Especially for a couple expecting their first little one, I love capturing that moment of anticipation before baby arrives! Devorah and Sam came to me through my past wedding clients, Jordan and Kyle (for whom I’ve also photographed many milestones…
