Last weekend I had to opportunity to take photos at a 90th birthday celebration in Kenosha. Look at this fella! It took me a minute to realize he was the birthday boy. Doesn’t look a day over 79!

This was a great time. You could really tell this family is close. Reminds me of large family gatherings when I was a kid. And I got stuffed with pasta, wine, and sweets. Amazing! What a great time. I loved all of this. ❤️

The sunflowers were sunflowering! My first time at and I absolutely overshot this entire session. I couldn’t help myself. Love, love, loved this location.

I had such a fun time with Emily and Mitch. Can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year!!

Oh you have a classic car for photos? Yes please. Bonus points for the amazing sunset and sprinkle of rain to make everything sparkly 😍

A few more from Darina’s recent maternity session. It was such a beautiful evening for photos. A perfect shoot. This mama to be is absolutely glowing.

07/28/2024

😍😍😍 🤗🤗🤗 my favorite sneak peak ever!!

Full disclosure I used a bit of AI to create some magic with this image, adding some ambiance to the water. But Ms. Darina is just PERFECT and so glowy all by herself. Combined with the sunset and a few wildflowers… This is exactly the image I wanted to capture for this mommy to be. thanks for letting me play!

Post 2/2: Sam and Tony! Married in May in Kenosha. When I say this woman is the most prepared bride I’ve ever met, I am not exaggerating. She designed and handcrafted every detail of her day. I was SO impressed.

These two are an incredible couple and so are their family and friends. I feel very honored to have been able to witness and capture their day for them. ❤️❤️

The perfect twirl shot doesn’t exis… oh 😍😍

Caught this one at Mike and Patti’s wedding last month and from now on, every flower girl will twirl for me. So sweet. I couldn’t love this more.

06/24/2024

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of capturing Michael and Patti’s wedding day in Belleville, IL. They exchanged vows during mass at St. Claire of Assisi Catholic Church, followed by a lovely reception at the Weingarten. The whole day was spent celebrating their love for Christ with their family and friends. I had a wonderful time! Congrats!!

More from Maverick’s 3 month session. We had an absolutely gorgeous spring night for photos. I’m in love with all of these shots. 😍😍😍

When mom and dad are both police officers, you get to play with all the cool lights 🚔 ❤️ 💙🤍

Just a few of my favorites from Maverick’s 3 month session. I’m not sure who had more fun, me or Maverick ☺️ He was definitely work out after!

Always a good time hanging out with officers. Thanks for letting me play around again!

Who says it’s too cold in February to take engagement pictures outside? Definitely not these two. 🔥 Alex & Bill kept me laughing the entire time. What a great shoot.

Thanks for curing my slow season of photography blues!

Sneak peek for Alex and Bill, from their engagement session last weekend in Antioch. These two are legit ADORABLE 🥹🥹😊

Sam + Annie. When I tell you that these two didn’t stop laughing for their entire engagement session, I’m not exaggerating. I was laughing too. This was so much fun 😊😊😊

Thanks for enduring the cold and letting me play! .macie6 and .marie

This one is for the photographers… just a reminder to play with every opportunity you’re given with lighting. Canned atmosphere, backlighting, and cross screen lens adapters… go make some magic.

Also, get your flash off your camera. 😘

Here’s your sign to take a 10 minute detour on your wedding day. Work it in the schedule. A quiet and cozy moment in the midst of all the running around… trust me, it’s worth it.

12/04/2023

Just a few (okay, a lot) of my favorites from Noelani and Lev’s wedding on 11/11. They did my favorite thing and included all of their favorite things in their wedding day details. From LoTR to Star Trek to Legos and their favorite book store… Their guests all loved it too. It was a very happy and absolutely comfortable day. The way it should be ☺️

Congrats you two!
