Sometimes things just click. Michelle & Dave’s engagement session was one of those times. My favorite of the year.

There is nothing quite like documenting an intimate wedding with just the close family. It’s truly a unique and special experience.

Always a big fan of the home sessions.

This one was epic: Beatnik, the 6 corners, top of the Robey (which is incredible) and the 606 trail. One of the highlights of the year.

The Li family invited me to capture one last family memory in Chicago before their big move back to China. Great times!

It’s the 3rd year in a row with this crew and definitely my favorite session with them, by far. This place was incredible!

I photographed Cat & Dan’s wedding 5 years ago in Chicago. Fast forward and they now have two little ones out in the suburbs. It was awesome to reconnect and spend time with all of them…and brave the 100 degree heat (!!!!)

These two are the best. It was easily the hottest day of the summer and it didn’t even phase them. Can’t wait for the wedding in October!

Epic on every level. My longest post of the year! Dive in!

Every now and then, Mother Nature throws you a bone. Gorgeous night for Molly & Matt’s engagement session. Can’t wait for their wedding in October!

Can’t believe this was my first family session at Wrigley Field! Better late than never!

The rain was no match for this squad. Incredible day!
