Mike and Jake have been together for nearly two years, but only recently added their nine-month-old Yorkie pup, Toby, to their family- I knew having him along for their couple shoot would make for a great afternoon! Mike, Jake, Toby, and I spent a few hours exploring McCollum Park in Downers Grove, a wonderful backdrop to showcase […]

When Lisa told me she would be screenprinting her Wavy Gravy sweatshirts, I jumped at the chance to photograph her at work- she’s a great model and an amazing artist. The workshop in which the screenprinting press sits is large, and I spent an evening snapping shots of Lisa as she set up the ink, readied the equipment, and patiently explained how […]

We did a relaxed photo shoot at their lovely home in Aurora, and even got some fun shots with their Labradors, Moose and Max. Congrats to you both, and I […]

Thanks for […]

Having known Zander since he was born, I can’t believe he’s already six years old! He’s such a sweet young man already- intelligent and full of life, always excited to show you something he’s seen or learned. Our shoot was full of breaks so he could ask me questions about working as a photographer, and even a […]

Lisa and Dave were an absolute dream to shoot on a clear late February day. They’ve been dating for four years now, and their chemistry clearly shows in every look and touch. The two are very much a couple in love, and the photographs tell their love story better than any words I could write. Thanks for […]

Alli and Steve were a blast to work with on an unseasonably warm February afternoon! Our shoot took place at Silver Lake Country Club- the very site where the couple will exchange vows next April. Our afternoon was full of outbursts of laughter and great candid shots, as Alli and Steve are amazingly comfortable with each other […]
