Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Welcome to my couples photography page, where love stories come to life through intimate, authentic imagery. Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or simply want to capture the beauty of your connection, I’m here to create timeless photographs that reflect the unique bond you share. Each session is designed to be a relaxed, joyful experience—one that showcases your relationship in a way that feels natural and true to who you are.
I believe that every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to capture yours in a way that feels personal and deeply meaningful. Whether we’re photographing in the vibrant streets of Chicago, a quiet park, or a stunning destination, I focus on creating an environment where you can truly be yourselves. My approach blends candid moments with gentle direction, ensuring your images feel organic while still highlighting the special connection you share.
From shared laughter during an inside joke to quiet, tender moments that need no words, I aim to document the full spectrum of emotions that make your relationship one-of-a-kind. These sessions are more than just taking photos—they're about celebrating your love and creating a visual legacy of your journey together.
I’m excited to collaborate with you and capture memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s a surprise proposal, a romantic anniversary, or just a special moment in your relationship, I’m here to help you commemorate it with beautiful, heartfelt imagery. Together, we’ll create photographs that not only reflect your love in this moment but will also grow more meaningful as time passes.

What should we wear for our session?
Choose outfits that reflect your personal style and make you feel comfortable. Coordinate colors and patterns without being too matchy—think complementary rather than identical.
How long does a typical couple session last?
Most couple sessions last between one to two hours. This gives us ample time to capture a variety of poses without feeling rushed, ensuring we get those candid moments and beautiful shots!
What location should we do our session at?
The location should be meaningful to you as a family and can even be in your own home! I'm happy to provide suggestions based on your vision, but ultimately, the best spot is one where you and your children feel comfortable and inspired.
What if we're not good at posing?
Don’t worry! My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can be yourselves. I’ll guide you with natural prompts and poses that encourage genuine interaction, so you won’t feel stiff or awkward. Just focus on enjoying your time together!
