    Chicago Engagement Photography | Kelly + Ethan (+ Phoenix) | Lincoln Park

    April 10, 2018

    Last month, I had some family things pop up in Wisconsin, and my brother & I decided to make the long haul out there. We passed through Detroit, Chicago & spent a few days in Madison before heading back. I posted an Instagram story announcing my travel schedule, and in popped a message from…

    March 22, 2018

    For years now, I’ve been encouraging more candid, lifestyle-based shoots, and love how my clients have responded. Before any family session, I chat with the parents about expectations for posing the kiddos (ie. don’t expect them to pose). Instead, we encourage the wild babes to be themselves. We play in the backyard, run on the…

    March 2, 2018

    Ten years ago, I graduated from college, started my first & only full-time job, quit after three months & decided I would never work for anyone else again. I opened my first credit card, bought an iMac, Adobe license, & Canon Rebel. All of it was so thrilling & so terrifying; I felt like I…

06.30 | Last day of June, soaking in country air at my favorite place 😍 

It’s wonderful to reflect on how this practice brought me back to the basics… I haven’t created non-client/non-iPhone photos in so long. It was a joy to slow down + *play* with color, composition + creating, without an end goal in mind.

As a true portrait photographer, it was a challenge at first to find inspiration in non-human subjects - YOUR energy is such a big part of my work! This practice has retrained my brain + I find myself pausing to enjoy little vignettes wherever I go now 🤩 

It’s a gift to see the world so beautifully + perhaps, you’ll try this too? ♥️
