This sweet family came to my studio after dad found me on Instagram and started following my work. They live in Vernon Hills, just one town over from my Long Grove studio. It’s great when you find a photographer you love right in your own backyard! And it means so much to me when people connect with my art and trust me to document the most precious times for them and their families.

This beautiful family just welcomed their second baby, and it was such a privilege to capture these early moments. It’s wonderful to witness the love between parents and their little ones—especially when a new sibling joins the family! It is just pure love and joy!

Baby Ava was truly a dream to photograph. She was so gorgeous—and can we talk about her HAIR!? It doesn’t get any better than this. Seriously the best I’ve ever seen!



There’s something so special about seeing a family grow, the love they share, and the tiny details that make each session unique. It really is the little things you’ll want to remember forever. The details that change so quickly, yet mean so much. I’m beyond grateful to have been part of this family’s journey, preserving these moments they’ll treasure forever.

Thank you to this incredible family for allowing me to share in this magical chapter with them!
