Watching the butterfly snack on our Echinacea Flowers was mesmerizing. My daughter and I watched the Monarch flit around from flower to flower, tracking it and eventually, taking a few photos. I love our yard this time of year…beautiful flowers in full bloom, vegetables ready to be picked, mischievous bunnies making a go at the […]
A few months ago, I received an email from a girl I knew when I was 14. Memories came flooding back immediately… memories from junior high, the last time I saw her. She inquired about photographing her family, herself and her husband along with 3 year old twins and a 6 year old. We decided […]
Last week, I had the pleasure of photographing 6 cousins, ranging in ages 1 to 8, and their families – 14 people in all. We went to an empty field filled with wild yellow flowers…and off they went! We had a lot of fun, took some photos posed or as posed as we could be […]
C.C. is adorable…a perfect combination of her mom and dad. These photos were taken on a 15 minutes hiatus from a fun play date. I was quickly trying to capture C.C. for a Father’s Day gift for her daddy and grandpa. She loved posing in her newly learned ballet poses and brought a princess crown […]
These brothers, one going into pre-k and the other 2nd grade, showed up smiling…they were dressed up and ready to put on their best model poses. Cuties like these two make my job easy! They are both so photogenic and full of happy smiles. It was my pleasure to take them out on the streets […]

Being a natural light photographer in Chicago comes with it’s challenges. Our “perfect” weather days are few and far between and those days between November and March are scarce at best. During these months, 45 degrees feels like spring and if the bone chilling wind and frigid temperatures die down for a day or two, […]
I was recently asked to provide photographic artwork for an office…pictures of skylines from a few major cities along with landscapes and floral photos. I have many of these photos in my portfolio from my travels, but wasn’t happy with the hometown Chicago skyline photos I had. So, yesterday, after looking at the 10 day […]
January is a month that feels synonymous with reflection. People all over the world reflect on the previous year and resolve to change things up a bit for the upcoming year. Having a birthday in January, it is natural for me to not only reflect as I naturally would in the beginning of the year, […]
A few weeks before Christmas, I received a call from a friend. She had an idea for her husband’s Christmas gift and was hoping I could help her out. Her husband is a big sports fan and her idea was to put each of his three girls in a different Chicago sports team shirt and […]
