Something that always inspires me and gets my creative juices FLOWING is when I’m able to photograph a session at a “new to me” location. When Jessica and I were going over different options for where her maternity photos would take place, she had a request for a forest look. With this being my favorite type of “background”, I have a handful of foresty places that I love and go to frequently! For a while I’ve had Herrick Lake on my “bucket list” to do a session at after […]

I’ve actually been here quite a few times, once for an engagement session and also for a family session , and I just CAN’T GET ENOUGH! I just love how this place looks nothing like most locations that I go to and you would never guess that this is a short drive out from Chicago!! It definitely gives me Colorado vibes, which I LOVE! Especially being a Midwestern girl who CRAVES views like these. This session took place in […]

It is such an incredible feeling having familiar faces in front of my camera as their family grows! I photographed Felecia and Tony’s very first maternity session back in October of 2018 when they were expecting their first baby and it was a DREAM! She had a florist create a flower crown for her, she had the most stunning emerald green dress and it was right at sunset so you better believe it was full of glowy magic! (check out that session HERE ) Felecia reached out to me last year and told me the happy news that baby #2 was on the way and that they wanted another maternity session documented […]
