This engagement session is a little extra special to me. I've known Jamie for a long time! We rode the same bus together in school and lived down the street from me. I did her senior pictures years ago! I watched this cutie grow up into the sweet, beautiful woman she is today and now I'm shooting her ENGAGEMENT photos which will then lead to her WEDDING! I can't believe it and I'm so excited!! Jamie and Jake compliment each other in […]

Okay, this might sound crazy but, as I was waiting for Alexis and Trevor to arrive at the location we agreed to meet before we began their session, I felt like I was waiting to catch up with a friend!

It was a HOT day here in Chicago when we scheduled Kayla and Brandon's engagement session! The heat index was saying it was going to feel close to 100 outside!! (yikes!!) If you have ever visited Chicago in the summer time before, you would know that every beach is usually JAM packed, and when they were calling for 100 degree weather, I wasn't doubting that we were going to have some competition at our first location! This was our plan for […]

Ohhhh gosh. I don't even know how to start with these two. Jill and Joe, one of the most silliest, sweetest, goofy-est, most lovey dovey couple that has ever stepped foot in front of my camera. The moment I sat down with you two at a Starbucks in St. John, I knew your engagement session was going to be nothing short of a good time! Before I even took the first photo my stomach was aching from laughing so hard! I have only met you guys twice and I can already tell how much you love each other. In between shots you […]

The first day I met Lisa during her client meeting back in December, we decided to meet for drinks and make her officially a #MeganGogginsBride! Usually these meetings last around an hour but, hers was different. I'm pretty sure we spend close to THREE hours talking about wedding things and even non wedding related things! We instantly CLICKED! I had felt like I was catching up with a close friend and this was the very first time we had met!! This is […]

This was my first time in Woodstock and when I arrived, I was in LOVE! This place was SO cute! There were so many […]
Read moreAnna & Leo | Coffee Shop and Lakefront Engagement Session
When I was chatting with Anna about if she had any ideas for where she wanted to take her engagement session photos, I said if there are any places that are special to you and Leo, those would be some great locations! I love capturing a couple in a spot that means something to them and is significant. When I told her this she said that she doesn't know of any specific places because everywhere they go together is so much fun! They could go to the grocery store and it would be the best night ever because they have so much fun with each other! She told me this before I had ever met Leo and once I finally did […]
