Bring on all those new little babies! Ashley and I met a few years back through a mutual friend and there was only Ava involved. Elsie joined their family last year and this year we celebrate another sweet little one being added to the Winge family. Stay tuned for more of his newborn session, but for now, here are some sweet maternity shots I was able to get of this family this summer!







There is nothing better for a four year old boy than adding a little brother to the mix! I have been photographing the Song family since their son was two and now I simply can not wait to have another little one to photograph in their family! The University of Northwestern provided the perfect backdrop for the Young’s maternity session. In only a few short weeks I will be holding their sweet lil one and photographing him as well! I can’t wait!!

Tis the season for new babies and maternity sessions! I am just loving the maxi dresses paired with the baby bumps. From florals to solid colors every single one makes me love these pregnant mommas even more! Rachel and Tom were no exception. Booking right after the April snowstorm, we were able to take advantage of the 50 degree weather as well as utilize the snow for a backdrop! I simply can not wait to meet baby Luong in a few weeks for their newborn session!

Happy Spring to you! I can not wait for those warm days to arrive again! Here’s what’s happening this month. I’d love to get your family on the calendar for a session and can’t wait to see many of you again this summer and fall! Contact me for availability!

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!
