The Very Best. Chicago North Shore Family Photography

This beautiful family welcomed a new baby this year! Yay them and yay me, because I get to share in the celebration. There is no greater compliment that having clients who ask you again and again to make their family portraits. I consider this a gift, and I love being able to capture family memories that will be treasured for years and generations. There is no greater joy as a photographer. It's the very best!

It's YOUR year! Senior Portraits Highland Park High School Illinois

Nov 02, 2019

I've known this wonderful girl since she was teeny-tiny. She's grown up to be especially lovely and wonderful.She's the last of 4 in her family to graduate from HPHS, and it has been an absolute blast to make a portrait of each of her family's HS seniors. Capturing a young spirit preparing to step out into the big world is important- because it's a special time. So 2020 is YOUR year beautiful girl. Go do all the great small and big things in this world. Make it count. I know you will!

Chicago North Shore Family Photographer. Family Afternoon on the Prairie

Nov 27, 2018

I've been photographing this gorgeous family since I started my studio, 8 years ago. It's been such fun to see the girls grow up in front of the camera, but the most delightful thing for me is seeing how much FUN they all have during the session. I wish I could take all the credit, and although I take pride in making the experience relaxing and stress-free, this family simply enjoys having fun together. And there's no doubt that the genuine love and closeness comes across in ...

I love working with confident young women, who know what they like, and are clear in their ability to share a vision. In this case, it was all about authenticity. And, for those who know me, that's my favorite! There is no missing the talent, spirit and smarts of this senior. She's on to exciting things come August!
