Hello

Brooke & Zhas

Family & Kids

I was so thrilled when Brooke contacted me about doing these photos! I had met Brooke and Zhas back in 2015 for their engagement session, followed a year later by their beautiful, intimate backyard wedding in Chicago (which has long lived as a favorite of mine!).

Family & Kids

One of the greatest joys of wedding photography is getting back together with my wedding couples in the years after they got married and seeing them as parents. I first photographed Stephanie and Matt at their engagement session (back when I was pregnant with Henry!) and then on their wedding day! Two years ago, I […]
