FAVORITE THINGS
My favorite things in life are cuddling with my new puppy, making dinner with hubby and watching movies together on a Sunday afternoon when it’s raining or snowing outside. I love documentary movies and spending a Friday night editing photos. We’re not always chilling on the sofa and we’ve enjoyed the most amazing trips, most recently 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 for every wedding is to capture the real moments that will be unique to your wedding story. My style of shooting is to direct you so I’m getting real emotions and natural expressions. When you look at your wedding album years down the road, I want the photos to bring you right back to that day and remember the genuine emotions you felt at each moment of the 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.
