Services + Pricing
For the moments that matter most.
The big ones. The little ones. And especially the ones you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re gone.
I photograph families, couples, motherhood, micro weddings and elopements with a documentary approach — less posing, more living.
Based in Plano and serving Yorkville, Oswego, Sandwich and the western Chicago suburbs.
Families + Motherhood
The newborn haze. The toddler chaos. The tiny hand wrapped around your finger. The way your family exists right now, before everyone grows and changes again.
Family sessions are relaxed, playful and built around your family — not perfect poses.
Couples
Newly engaged. Ten years married. About to ask the question. Or just really, really into each other.
We’ll wander, laugh, move around and make photographs that feel more like a memory than a photoshoot.
weddings + elopements
For intimate wedding days where the people, place and experience matter more than the production.
Whether it’s the courthouse, your parents’ backyard or somewhere requiring a passport, I’ll document the big moments and everything happening quietly around them.

Here’s to You
The wildly in love. The ones who said “yes” and can’t wait to say “I do.” The new mamas who are overwhelmed, overstimulated, and still completely over the moon. The growing families in the thick of the beautiful, ordinary chaos. The couples who have built a life together and still reach for each other’s hand. And the adventurers who know some stories are worth traveling for.
These aren’t just milestones. They’re chapters of your life full of the little moments you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re gone.
They deserve more than to be lived.
They deserve to be felt, remembered and documented.
That's why I'm here!”

Frequently
Asked Questions

You’ll receive sneak peeks within 48 hours and your complete gallery within two weeks.

Not even a little.
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ll give you direction when you need it and space when you don’t.
The goal isn’t to perform for the camera. It’s to eventually forget it’s there.
-
Then we’ll photograph that, too.
Kids aren’t meant to stand still and smile on command. We’ll play, explore, take breaks and let them warm up at their own pace.

Once you’re booked, I’m happy to help you choose clothing that photographs beautifully without making your family look like you were issued uniforms.

A little wind, cloud or drizzle can make photographs even better.
