Lisa + Macario {Wedding}

It’s a wonderful thing when your clients become your friends.  Lisa + Mac are some of the most fun, easy-going, and kind-hearted individuals I’ve ever met.  May God bless them with lots of children and many many years of growing old together. :)

Presley Kessler

Presley. She becomes more precious to me year after year. And she gets better in front of my camera because she knows I’m her friend.:)  When I photograph Presley, I always end up with a handful of childhood photos that will be forever etched in my memory. Her purity and innocence leap off every single one of her photograph…

FRANK {Family}

 Oh, what a wonderful session I had with the Frank Family! I love them! So glad I ran into Ashleigh at the Starbucks in Wheaton while she was pregnant with baby number two and gave her my card. It’s been so fun watching their family grow! :)

Gunnar Maddock {Senior}

I had the pleasure of meeting and taking senior photos for Gunnar Maddock from Glenbard West High School!  We had a great time meeting first at Blackberry Market for a bite to eat and then we took advantage of the wonderful surroundings in Glen Ellyn for his photos. Gunnar’s Mom was one of my good friends in junior high almost 35 years ago (GULP!) and it was amazing to see her again. I love my job and the ways it keeps me connected to people in my life.  Gunnar, you were amazing and I’m in love with your images! I will be watching what God will do in and through your life! :)
