Throughout the years, I have able to photograph these families separately, but when Jan contacted me to do an extended family photo this summer, I was thrilled! Braving the heat, we met to document this beautiful moment in history! I can not wait to continue to see this sweet family grow!
For those of you that read the blog continuously, you know how much I love babies. But when they are a friends’s baby, and then a friend that I have know since childhood, well bring on the tissues. Jess and I grew up together and over the years I have been so blessed to watch her become a wife, then a mom, and now a mom for the second time. She is incredible and amazing and I am lucky enough to walk through yet one more stage of life with her. I find it such a gift and a beautiful blessing.
Tis the season for family gatherings and time together. One more reason I just love the month of July!! The Rysavy family traveled from different parts of the state (and even out of state!) to celebrate retirement, new babies and family! I loved seeing this sweet family again, and if your family is planning for a get together this summer or fall, I would love to be able to document it!
It has been a joy to photograph the sweet Seymour family throughout the years! And this session was no different! After the rains fell, a perfectly flawless summer day erupted giving us lush greens and plant of space to go throughout the campus of the University of Northwestern for photos! Looking forward to seeing this family in the near future!!
Oh July! You are my favorite month by far. We will hit up all the watersides and pools we can this month and enjoy these wonderfully long and hot days of summer! Before we know it Fall will be upon us, so book your mini session or family session quickly before your summer and fall fill up! I look forward to seeing you and hearing all about your summer adventures!
I love connecting and chatting on-line!

Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
