Masters degree energy is just different - and Brianna absolutely brought that confidence and achievement glow to Northwestern's downtown campus 🎓✨

There's something so powerful about photographing graduate students. The dedication, the late nights, the research, the growth - it all culminates in this moment of pure accomplishment.

Streeterville and the Mag Mile gave us the perfect urban academic backdrop - modern campus architecture mixed with downtown Chicago energy. But honestly, Brianna's radiant confidence and excitement for what's next made every single photo shine.

Congratulations Brianna - the world is so ready for everything you're going to accomplish 💜

Now booking Chicago area graduation sessions for all the incredible grads ready to celebrate their hard work. DM me to book!

When you get to photograph someone's proposal AND their save the dates, you know it's going to be special 💍✨

Anthony and Sami brought their love story to life in the most quintessential city way possible - downtown backdrops, Pinterest-perfect vision, and even incorporated my actual proposal photos of them into their newspaper props (tears)

Sami came to me with a mood board and we brought every detail to life together. There's nothing I love more than a couple who knows their vision and trusts the process. Getting to be part of someone's love story from "will you marry me?" to "save the date" is honestly why I do what I do.

Chicago couples - let's create something special together! Now booking downtown engagement sessions 🤍

A perfect night for an even better surprise… Chris said yes! 💍🥂🤍

With the city skyline glowing over Lincoln Park’s South Pond, their friends and family waited just out of sight to celebrate. @jayna_bardahl and I had the best time helping Aedan pull off the plan, and seeing it all come together couldn’t have been sweeter 🥹

I’ll never take for granted getting to be part of moments like this — full of love, joy, and people who make it all feel so easy!

From lakeside “yes” to downtown adventures, Gabija and Anthony’s engagement was unforgettable 🥹🤍💍

Running around Madison with these two, capturing their just-engaged joy, was everything. I’ll never take for granted being trusted with moments this meaningful. Here’s to love that makes every corner feel like magic 🥂

Gabija and Anthony are ENGAGED! 🥹🤍😭💍🥂

On a beach along Lake Mendota, Anthony dropped to one knee and Gabija said YES! Spending the weekend with their families to help every detail come together made this one extra special. I’ll never take being part of the biggest days in people’s lives for granted — especially when it’s dear friends.

Gabija + Anthony, capturing the start of your forever was pure magic — cheers to FOREVER!

From proposal photos in our hometown of Lombard to moody engagement session vibes in the city - Madison and Matt’s love story just keeps getting better 🍾🤍💍🌆

When you get to photograph someone’s proposal AND their engagement session, you’re basically documenting a whole love story chapter by chapter. Madison came with a mood board that perfectly captured their vibe, and we ran around Chicago bringing that vision to life.

The best part? This session ended with post-shoot cocktails at the Palmer House because when you click with your clients, they become so much more than clients - they become friends.

Madison and Matt get married in less than two months (!!!) and I just can’t wait to see their love story continue to unfold. Some couples just have that magic that makes every moment feel like a celebration 🥹
