Real Weddings. Real Families. Real Love.

I'm a wedding and family photographer based in McHenry County Illinois, and this is what ten years of showing up looks like from my view. No two love stories look the same. That's the whole reason I do this. Every wedding, every family, every elopement — there's something in it I've never seen before. This is where I keep the proof.

My engagement sessions are lifestyle based — meaning, they should look and feel like you. Your favorite spaces, the things that make you feel alive & in love, with your favorite human (+ pets).

Family sessions are led with intention — which usually means the littles steer the ship. It’s entirely a “come as you are” experience & chaos is always welcome. If there aren’t any littles… yet — chaos is still welcome. It’s all beautiful chaos.
