Shoot First Photos

Wedding Photographer - Listed as a Preferred Vendor on www.theknot.com!

The day my daughter was born, my passion for photography emerged. From the moment I saw her beautiful eyes, my camera remained in hand to capture the memorable but all-to-fleeting moments of childhood. With encouragement from friends and family, I began sharing my passion and pursued my dreams. As a photographer, I strive to create captivating images of you & your family that reflect who you are not just what you look like. I work on-location throughout the Chicago land area with a laid back approach that focuses on capturing natural expressions and true beauty. I am known for my patience and dedication, creating a relaxed atmosphere that engages children, pets & any members of your family. You won't hear "sit still" or "you have to smile". Genuine expressions flow easily when children are free to do what they like and express how they feel; the adorable pout, wide-eyed gaze or beaming smile will warm your heart. If you are an artist, I have a great eye for capturing the true spirit in you. An album cover says a mouthful! Pieces of artwork are captured in their best light to show every bit of talent possible. My flexibility and versatility will put you at ease, turning every session into a unique experience. Capturing moments of a brides special day are days not only she remembers forever, but I do as well. I put my heart into each wedding I do, from start to finish, making the bride & groom feel as comfortable as possible. Most of the times you forget I'm even there, until you see the beauty that was captured later on. My guarantee...you will want to tell all your friends about me. :)
