Let's unpack

I'm a photographer, wife, mother, and motivator with a vintage soul and a passion for storytelling.

Life's too precious to settle for iphone photos. I'm here to create work that celebrates the mundane and the beauty found in life's simplest of moments. 

“an immersive experience"

I am dedicated to creating a unique and unforgettable experience that keeps you coming back. 

For every client, we discuss your daily life and personal stories ensuring a completely personal and immersive experience.  I believe photos should be fun, capturing and enhancing memories without detracting from the moment.

I love painting, cooking and spending time with my little family

Nothing settles my soul more than going on long walks, listening to thrifted records on my record player, and seeking out quaint coffee shops with my husband. The love I have for life and my family has greatly influenced my photo work. When I’m not working, I like to spend my time designing my home, caring for my daughter, or watching Yellowstone while sipping on whiskey or red wine.

I want my clients to feel as comfortable in their photo locations as I feel here

I love so many of the little suburbs of Chicago. They are filled with family-owned restaurants, clever little cafes, and fun places to shop. There’s also so much history in many of these towns that piques my interest and makes for great photo shoot locations. My husband and I grew up in a small town about a mile away from each other. We have since settled in to our new life nearby and welcomed our first born baby girl into to the world in this past spring. These smaller suburbs have a hospitality that draws me to them, whether I’m looking for new ideas for artwork or meeting a shop owner for the first time to talk about a business relationship - I get a strong feeling of trust. I want my clients to feel that same trust - trust that I’ll use my creative eye to give them the most beautiful work I can, so they feel at ease during our sessions together. 

I started my artistic path at a very young age - from drawing to painting, interior design to photography - all of the classes have honed my talents and given me the foundation to find the composition, balance, light and direction in each photo I take of my clients.

My journey of creative exploration is just getting started. In fact, after too many undocumented girl chats, my friend Meghan and I decided it was time to press record and invite you into our conversations as we navigate our own careers as two young creative professionals in our early 20’s. The Made to Last podcast seemed like the perfect way to reach you asap so you can join in on a collection of uplifting episodes that keep you focused on your dreams and get you through this crazy thing called womanhood.
