As a story teller through the art of photography, I love nothing more than to share your love-filled tales with the world.


Welcome!

DISCLAIMER: I may be a little bit biased with this one.

An amazing friend of mine reached out about scheduling an engagement session as her gift for her newly engaged niece and nephew-to-be and from that moment on, I knew that I was going to love these guys (hey – it’s in the genes, right?!).

Gabrielle and Bryan are – in a word – lovely. And their story is every bit as adorable as they are. High school sweethearts by origin, these guys beat the odds and kept the love alive despite being long distance during college. Once graduating from their perspective Ohio universities, the pair moved to Chicago and are obviously settling in beautifully! Now they’re embarking on the ultimate adventure together and I could not be more jazzed for them!

We celebrated this exciting chapter in their lives with some of the most beautiful spots in their new home playing as our backdrop. From the famed Chicago River bridges to the Riverwalk to Lincoln Park (where their ADORABLE roomie came to make a guest appearance!), I had SO much fun getting to know these guys and telling this small part of their love story through the art of photography.

Have I mentioned that I love my job?

Because I do.

Like……A LOT.

A huge thank you to you guys (and a huge thank you to my fairy godmother who hooked me up with this amazing couples!). Congratulations!
