I seriously had a blast with Megan and Jason during their Summer Engagement Session. When I first talked to Megan about Engagement photos, there wasn’t a big huge plan. There wasn’t a ton that she wanted to incorporate, she just knew she wanted them done soon and that they like to ride their bikes. She […]

I thought planning this engagement session was going to be difficult since Grant is in Australia for work. But these two have been great at planning and arranging for this session to happen around a trip home. This also was pretty cool because they’re not seeing each other too much right now. Which means they […]

Take 2 for these love birds! I originally shot Nick and Laurens engagement session in the winter on an extremely cold, -30 degree day (which you can see here). As the warmer months were approaching, Lauren had mentioned to me a few times how she would love if we could do another session on a […]

What a blast we had at Cantigny Park for Joe and Kaitlyn’s engagement session! I honestly have SO many more photos that I would love to share because their gallery is huge and filled with so much fun and laughter. The fact that I was able to have this much fun with Joe and Kaitlyn […]

Jasmine and Dale have such a great love story and I loved reading about it when Jasmine was telling me how it all started. Dale did all the right things when he proposed too Jasmine. He planned out the day, wrote down his speech, nervously chugged all the water at lunch, staged the perfect setting […]

The way the Naperville Riverwalk lights up behind these two has me speechless! I love a good urban session and Downtown Naperville has so much to offer for a beautiful evening setting. I can’t wait to get back and shoot here over the summer and fall when it’s all bloomed and even more gorgeous. But […]

I hope when you see photos of Ashley and Sam, you just feel their kind and loving spirit radiating through! Cissna Park is this small, quaint little town in Central Illinois that many probably don’t know about. I know I barely knew about this town until last year when I met one of my other […]

Sunsets in the country fields of a small town have my whole heart! There’s something about the quiet nights (until the train rolls through) and fields that go on for days to catch the perfect sunset! This little town just south of Kankakee, IL gave us the perfect setting for Chad and Sammys engagement session. […]

When Rachel asked me how I felt about a Greenhouse engagement session, I instantly had those little heart eyes pop out in front of me! I LOVE when clients come to me with these kind of ideas. I’ve always had a Greenhouse engagement on my radar but never had the right opportunity to shoot at […]

The signs of winter are slowly fading, and spring is on the way. This downtown engagement session with Jordan and Allie was the first warm session of the year, and this perfect golden light matched their playful personalities and love perfectly! And not only did this engagement session bring in the perfect golden hour light, […]

Have I mentioned how much I love winter engagement sessions? Seriously, forget all the cold frigid feelings, I can not get over how much i have enjoyed shooting this winter! And of course it just so happened to begin snowing on the day of Nick and Laurens engagement session, and that beautiful fresh snow fall […]

Originally when I had talked with Amanda, we were just scheduling our consultation to go over their wedding details as I normally do. Usually this is the first time I meet my couples and then we plan for the engagement session from there. A couple of days before our consultation, Amanda had text me asking […]
