So happy for @katie.ann_kb as she opens her GORGEOUS ✨👏new studio @schrothboss in Orland Park to help women & teens with scoliosis pain. Such a fun, quick branding session made even better by catching up with an old friend. 🩷

This weekend! Senior minis in downtown Lemont! I still have plenty of spots open (Friday & Saturday).

Seniors or soon-to-be seniors can wear whatever - rock the cap and gown or keep it casual with an outfit that shows off your personality. Link in bio!

Athens Park Ribbon Cutting Ceremony 📸 It turned out to be a beautiful morning in Lemont - the clouds parted, the DJ blasted "Here Comes the Sun" and a good time was had by all.

Lucky to have spent two years capturing the fun at @theforgelemont. From climbing the tallest zipline tower (and questioning my life choices) to capturing concerts, festivals, mini golf, paddlesports and so many sunsets. I hope these photos give you a glimpse of what it's been like. Onto new, fun things ... but I'll be back 😉. Just not on the towers.
