The Things I’ll Never Do | Personal Post

Kind of a strange blog title, no? Sounds cryptic and negative but I promise it won’t be that. It all started with the idea of a tattoo. I have always adored woman with ink and often find myself envious of the “bad ass” air they seem to have. Their story, the meaning, the way they […]

There’s Nothing Like Wedding Season | Business Post

There’s something about the off season. It’s nice to have a break, to rekindle friendships, tackle the to-do list, build relationships with the next season brides, and time to just “be”. It’s been refreshing, fulfilling, and has restored my well being. But I MISS it. I miss the crazy, the stress, the love, the happiness, […]

Katelynn & Michael | Lake Geneva Engagement

We strolled the streets of Lake Geneva soaking in the little bit of sunshine and a chilly oh so typical April winter wind. Katelynn & I met at Starbucks a while back and discussed the intimate details of their day. Since that evening, I couldn’t wait for their engagement session. These two radiate joy, love, […]

Sam & Jon | Chilly Winter Chicago Engagement Session

It was cold. Like really really cold. Like people were taking photos of us while we were shooting & I’m sure they were either snapchats or instagram posts going, “Who in their right mind does a session in Chicago when it feels like -20 out?!”..

#StemWallSkiPartyBarge | Personal Post

Wow.. It’s been kind of quiet over here for the last few weeks. I’m having a hard time writing this time of year for some reason. Lack of ideas? Or the fact that I’m thoroughly enjoying some time off to unplug from the business (other then emails) and re-charge. With that said I was on […]
