Words can’t express how in love with these maternity photos that I am. Marissa let me do my thing and I wanted to create a really minimalist, feminine and etherial look. We shot on a nude backdrop with nude wardrobe to keep the images clean and draw all attention to Marissa and her beautiful bump.
I shot these with Kodak Portra 800 and Ilford Delta 3200 (my favorite b&w film ever) with mostly natural light plus a little fill. I absolutely love how the film came out, from the creamy tones of the Portra to the beautiful grain in the black and white Ilford images. You truly cannot beat film.
I want to do a million more portraits like this! I love when clients let me get creative and am thankful for Marissa trusting my vision. She looks absolutely radiant in these images!

I’m a huge nature lover and always try to incorporate that into my outdoor boudoir shoots. These were shot on film on a gorgeous day on a prairie in northern Illinois. The images feel so etherial and timeless and I love how we captured the perfect day and Jessica’s beautiful spirit.

I put together some shots from my favorite weddings and shoots of 2019. It's been a beautiful year in so many way and I'm looking forward to seeing what the next decade brings.
Decade... now that's a powerful word. I started my business in 2009 and over the past decade I've been blessed to meet and photograph the most amazing people. Thank you all for being a part of my story and for trusting me to tell yours. I love and appreciate you all more than you will ever know!
I've been honored to capture many different kinds of love this year. From romantic love, to self love, to love for a new child... love is beautiful!
Here are just a few of my favorite memories...

This bridal boudoir shoot is one of my favorites and came together so beautifully and effortlessly. Hotel Palms is the coolest little boutique motel in Atlantic Beach, Florida and the light that day was amazing! Sarah looked absolutely radiant in the afternoon light and these images have such fun and sexy summer vibes… enjoy!

Destiny is a beautiful mama to be who also happens to be an amazing florist, so of course we had to go all out for her maternity session! Destiny designed three gorgeous floral filled looks and this shoot feels like an absolute dream to me. I’m so obsessed with these images and cannot wait to collaborate with Destiny for more flower loving mamas in the future!

I met up with my beautiful friend, Brandi, the day before her due date for some very last minute maternity photos. I'm really into the fine art maternity look and I was so excited that Brandi let me do my thing!
We captured some gorgeous double and triple exposures that I'm absolutely in love with. A few days after this shoot, Brandi had her baby boy and I can't wait to meet little Benjamin soon!
