2010 | Review
- Posted on:
- 04 January 2011
While 2010 felt like a year that flew by at rapid speed, it simultaneously feels like the events I shot at the beginning of the year were eons ago. This was an big, intense year for me, both personally and professionally. I photographed 24 wonderful weddings and a slew of other engagement, portrait, boudoir and maternity sessions. I traveled from coast to coast to shoot, and even did a wedding in Peru. The diversity of weddings this year was really quite amazing—destination weddings with 8 people, soirees with 300; backyard weddings and weddings in opulent hotels. I think sometimes people like to categorize photographers into one specific type of wedding—and I certainly do it myself—but this year was really quite the refreshing mix, and as I put together this post I was reminded again of how the people are truly the common thread. Bright, joyful, wonderful couples, whom I was so lucky to meet and share part of a year with. Below are a selection (ok, too large a selection!) of favourites of mine from the past year. Thank you so much to all the amazing clients who allowed me to get to know them and document their relationship. And another big thank you to all the wonderful couples on the books for 2011 and even 2012 —to say I am excited about the couples coming up this year would be a gross understatement. Wishing everyone all the best in 2011.

Best of 2008: Engagement/Connection Sessions
- Posted on:
- 06 January 2009
I hope everyone had a fabulous new year. I spent the past few days in stunning San Francisco, and kicked off the new year with a relaxing week spent with some of my closest friends.
As I’ve been reflecting on 2008, I also decided to do a survey of some of my favourite photographs of the past year. I say it often, but I really do have the best clients, and looking back has reminded me of all the truly amazing couples I’ve been fortunate enough to capture. Over the next few days or weeks, I hope to share a few of my favourite photos from a few different genres of my wedding photographs.
First up are my favourite engagement and connection session images. I simply adore shooting these sessions, as I find it’s when I get to know a couple best, and it really is a wonderful chance to be able to infuse your photographs with so many elements of you via your choice in location, dress and attitude. As a quick reminder, I’ll be doing some traveling this spring, so if you have friends outside of Chicago who might be interested in a session, let me know, as special rates may be in effect. Connection sessions are a wonderful way to capture the relationship between you and your significant other whether you’re engaged, just dating or have been married for several years. Apologies for all the variances in the “watermarks.” I have been waiting for a long while to reveal some new branding and a new site, and it looks like it should finally be done by the end of the month. Can’t wait to share and also have some constitency in the marks!
