It is truly the biggest blessing to have couples and families come back to me again and again to witness and preserve so many chapters and moments for them! I was given the gift of photographing Tiffany and Grant two years ago at their maternity session in Chicago when they were expecting their first little one […]

Meagan and Chris have been with me since what feels like a lifetime ago (back in 2018!) when I photographed their engagement session in downtown Woodstock, IL and had the most gorgeous summer wedding at the Gardens of Woodstock! I’ve seen these two at ALL of my holiday mini sessions and also at so many of their friends […]
Read moreFront Porch Snuggles - At Home Lifestyle Session with The Tanis Family | Northwest Indiana
This session reminds me of what people call “the good ole’ days”. Just a simple Friday afternoon, hanging out with the ones you love, snuggling up on the porch of your (maybe?) forever home with your first child. There is just nothing sweeter. And this season of life will only last for so long. I look back on photos when I was little and it’s always the ordinary days and the simple moments in the photographs that tug on my heart strings just a little extra. This session […]
Read moreAn Afternoon of Play and Curiosity - In Home Documentary Family Session | Northwest Indiana
When you are able to let go of the standards, throw all of the things you ‘think’ you’re supposed to do during a photo session out the window, and TRULY be in the moment with the people you love… you guys…. NOTHING can beat this! When Ashley and Ray want to look back at family photos when Brooklyn was a child, these are the photos I want them to have. (and SO glad they do!) To see just how tiny she was on the couch in her playroom… in her home, how her little hands fit around books that you used to […]

One of my favorite moments was a very candid and unplanned one towards the end! Harper decided to pull some books out from the bookshelf and she started to read. It then turned in to everyone cuddled up on the floor in front of the crib reading together and it was SO sweet! I loved so much spending the afternoon with this […]

The sweet, sweet Mead family. Where do I even begin! These four are not strangers to being in front of my camera. I’ve had the honor of capturing them a handful of times in the past! One being Kaycie and Brad’s spring Downtown Frankfort engagement session AND their gorgeous wedding day , which— a few of the images from that day took place in this very bedroom!! It was a full circle moment and I had instant flashbacks from Kaycie and the girls getting ready for the big day and now here they are, a family of FIVE! (well, six if you include their pup Gunner!) […]

Just like her brother Millie decided to come early! I was starting progress the week prior and was taking it easy at home. That morning I saw my doctor for my weekly appointment and was 4cm and 90%. She sent me home and by two o’clock we headed to the hospital. Adam was amazing and we had our doula Bianca that came shortly after we got there. She […]
