FAVORITE THINGS
My fave things in life? Cuddling with my new pup, cooking up dinner with my hubby, and cozy movie marathons on rainy or snowy Sunday afternoons. I’m all about documentaries and low-key Friday nights editing photos. But we’re not always couch potatoes—we’ve had some epic trips, like our recent adventure to Portugal.
SHOOTING STYLE
“I feel like I was there” is the comment I hear the most from people about my wedding photography. I love hearing that because I know I have captured the real love story of the wedding day.
My goal at every wedding is to capture those real, one-of-a-kind moments that tell your unique story. My shooting style is all about guiding you to get those genuine emotions and natural vibes. When you flip through your wedding album years from now, I want the photos to take you right back to those raw, unforgettable feelings from your big day.
LOVE & TRAVELS
I met my wonderful hubby through my best friend, who is also his cousin. He had been living in Houston and moved back to Chicago. My friend slyly planned a meeting at her upcoming birthday party. I had seen some photos of him and was really excited to meet him. But when he showed up to the party he brought with him…a date! I was crushed! We ended up talking most of the evening and lucky for me, there wasn’t a second date with the other girl.
We love to travel! Who doesn’t, right? My hubby had a life goal to run with the bulls in Pamplona. Several years ago we made it happen. We spend some time in Barcelona and enjoyed sangria, tapas and a stroll along the beach. We took a one day trip to Mallorca, which was so fun! We took a short flight over with just what we were wearing and had the best day!
After our wedding in Florida, I wanted more wedding photos with my hubby, so I took my wedding dress along on our honeymoon. My husband wasn’t thrilled about lugging the dress along, which took up half of our suitcase! But he loves the photos we took in Paris and Positano.
life is better with a dog
I’ve fallen helplessly in love with Bernese Mountain dogs. I had always had little dogs and I was not at all into the big slobbery drooling dogs, but my hubby has his heart set. These diabolical love bugs will cuddle up with you and give you their sweet puppy dog kisses and you’re defenseless to their love.
