Claire + Adam // Wedding // The Westin, Columbus, Ohio

The way Claire and Adam look at each other would have left an impression in my memory whether there were pictures of this day or not. These two are pure gold and clearly had everyone inspired by their sweet relationship. Everything and person was overflowing with timeless class and the love and support surrounding them was so tangible it moved […]

One Year Portraits and Family Session | Wicker Park | Chicago Family Photographer

Christmas card season came and went and I’m loving having some time to go through and blog. This adorable family had me in their home exactly one year ago, to the day, for this little one’s newborn session.  Remember this tiny girl at 11 days new?   With a baby at home who is growing too […]

Naperville Maternity Session // Baby No. 2 // The Riverwalk

We’ve both covered our noses with scarves […]

I am all about white structures for weddings for the simplicity and (selfishly) the clean bounce of light it casts all around. If you add in barn on a charming little […]
