🍂 I had such a fun time with the @adupesjohnson family - they were too cute!

I always say I'll deliver 20 photos for fall minis, but really, all of my sessions end up with at least 50 final photos because if you get good shots, why not share them?

So, instead of my “under promise, over deliver” strategy, I’ll be transparent: you’ll get a full, joy-filled gallery that's a lot more than 20. 😉

If you haven’t booked your fall family photos yet, there are still plenty of spots left! Link in bio. 🔗

Loved reuniting with Tricia, Joe + the boys for another session in Lemont! That condo building with the changing leaves in front is "giving fall" as the kids say, so I have to have it in all my backdrops this season. 🍂🍁🍃

Fall minis are officially kicking into high gear 🍂🍁I had such a wonderful time with this gorgeous family who helped me celebrate the first official Downtown Lemont "mini" session of the season.

We took advantage of the beautiful, expansive and quiet area near the Canal Center (a spot I remembered as Safety Village growing up #old) & now
I'm going to try and incorporate this beautiful part of town into all my minis.

I still have a few spots left! If you're interested in capturing your own family, check out the link in my bio for details. 🔗

ONE DAY ONLY ✨🧑🏻‍🎄🎄

Holiday Studio Minis are open!!! Visit me in the Naperville studio on November 23! These are premium sessions with limited availability, so don’t wait to book.

Not feeling the Christmas theme? The studio is spacious and versatile (and perfect for headshots, maternity photos, family portraits or a classic look without the holiday backdrop). The time is yours to use however you’d like! Hope to see you in November!

Fall mini dates ADDED! 🍂🍁🍃Between work, school and sports, I totally get that life can get hectic, so I try to make these 20-minute sessions feel as fast and easy as possible (that's the goal, anyway).

Here's how it works: I meet you downtown Lemont, we walk around for a little bit while I capture you just as you are - no stiff poses - and you'll receive a minimum of 20 digital images within one week of the photoshoot. "How easy is that?" - Ina Garten

So trippy to stand in your old classroom and see your teacher's name still written on the desks (slide 2). 😵‍💫Time is wild. Great to be back at St. Al's / St. Pat's ☘️

It's that time of year again 📸Since I have to miss out on Chicago Critics Film Festival, I'm reflecting on all the film festivals I've been lucky enough to photograph over the years. I love stepping to the side and capturing artists on the red carpet or a panel from a different angle (not looking at the camera). ✨Here are my favorites!

Studio maternity session with @amandazelinski_ & @mzelinski127 ✨I've been so lucky to work with these two since their engagement and creating these photos together makes my heart feel so full. 💕
