I am a light and airy wedding photographer based in Kankakee Illinois but serving the Chicagoland area. I work all over the state and enjoy experiencing new places. I received my visual arts degree in 2015. After school I started to shoot weddings. I haven't looked back ever since! My whole life I have been intrigued with art in general. From dance, to music, playing percussion, taking pictures, painting, drawing, calligraphy and more. I loved it all and I still do. If I am not out shooting I like to spend time with friends, drink some wine and listen to live music. I really enjoy a good video game, movies and my pets. Also, can't forget about my bath bomb obsession. Lush is where it's at.
My passion as a photographer comes from my love of art, creating memories, and my mother. In 2016 my mom passed away from Leukemia. My number one supporter, motivator, and overall most important person in my life was taken away from me way too early. Now all I have left are pictures. But these pictures are so very important. I get to remember what my mom looks like, how I felt with her and I get to see how much she loved me and my family even after she is gone. My promise is to give you the same item that I hold dear to my heart everyday. I will give you those special photographs to cherish for the rest of your life. Just like I do with mine.

All the perfume-

I not only love to photograph these timeless pieces, but a trip to the antique mall is a blast. From Trays, Settees and different trinkets. My styling kit is growing with so many items.
My vanity has quite the collection going on. All of the different scents and pretty bottles. Yes please. They're also an important detail to a wedding day!
I love to write. The literal sense of the phrase. I like to practice calligraphy whenever I get free time. You can only imagine how much I love invitation suites!
three things you should know about me
I have been dreaming of my perfect wedding since i was a child. love makes my heart warm and my eyes water. I knew a wedding photographer was the perfect fit for me!
you've heard this before, but i believe laughter is the best medicine. period. im always down for a good time and having fun.
I think one of my best traits that i bring to my personal life and photography career is my consideration of others. I will hike up the biggest mountain for you, photograph in 110 degree weather and get pricked by rose bushes to get that perfect shot. whatever it takes, i am there.
