There’s nothing more precious than a newborn. I love capturing their first days in this world. Pictures where they can look back and see themselves when they were the tiniest of babes. Their little baby rolls, their small hands and feet. I had the pleasure of capturing little Baby Thomas and OMG, the rawness of it all <3.

I’m probably oversharing pictures in this post. I LOVE how this wedding turned out and I had a great time with all the vendors who helped make this inspired look come to life. Black & White just screams classy and so did everything that went into this day. The suit and dress looked like they were designed specially for this shoot. The florals/greenery that Aysel Cristian Floral Atelier came up with are to die for! I would suggest using them for any wedding , that circle backdrop would be so cute at a baby shower too. The invitation suites, tablescapes, the food, the cake and the little bar they had drinks at, just EVERYTHING about this shoot makes me so happy.

This wedding was so much fun and too sweet. Eric reached out to me about photographing his and his fiancee’s wedding last year. I only take a certain number of weddings a year and I decided that this one was a good fit. I met Kimberly, Eric and her parents at the Pinstripes in Oak Brook and went over their planned day.

Freshly out in the world you can’t help but wonder what kind of personality they’ll have. They grow up so fast and I am so glad I’m able to capture these moments for parents.

Intimate wedding at one of the greatest location in the Chicago West suburbs, The Morton Arboretum. Small weddings also deserve

There is nothing quite like the first 48 hours.

The smell of a newborn. The exhausted, overjoyed faces of new parents. The way a family of two becomes a family of three and everything shifts in the most beautiful way. I have photographed a lot of new families, and I will never get tired of this.

Beautiful summer night at Mayslake Estate in Oak Brook for an engagement session featuring the couples pupply and some relaxed photos.

Personality portraits with this little diva at Lilacia Park in Lombard, IL. Delilah turned THREE and her mom wanted some pictures because, why not!

I’ve known the parents of this family since I was in high school. so how amazing that I’m able to document them with their children! We met at Lilacia Park in Lombard, IL for their family photography session.

Baby C was my first ever Fresh 48 and I was instantly hooked. This 18 hour old was the cutest little baby ever. I'm so honored to have captured this for his parents.

I finally met Benjamin. I've known his mama for a little while and she was so excited to have beautiful memories of her little man. What a sweet heart, he just melted my heart.

I've known Chris and Cori for a while now. I was so happy they chose me to photograph their ceremony. I'm always thankful my clients pick me to be a part of their special day.

Little H is adorable! At first she didn't know whether she should trust me or not. Once she understood that I was only there to capture her big milestone, she knew what she had to do.......be cute. :)
