Brian and Jaklyn

I photographed Brian and Jaklyn's engagement session in the afternoon of an early Autumn day. The weather - both temperature and lighting - could not have been more in our favor. The couple was full of energy and ideas, so it was fun for me right from the start! We went to various iconic, downtown Chicago areas to capture the love of Brian and Jaklyn, who will wed in Chicago next May. I am so happy to be working with a couple so clearly in love, and so excited to spend the rest of their lives together!

The Yelton Family

After a long break from blogging, I am picking up again with showing you some of the work I've done in the past year! I have had a busy year of attending weddings of all varieties, from my best friend in Mexico to my coworker in downtown Chicago. I also started a new job at Groupon, and dedicated all of my creative energy towards building a photo studio as the Art Director. Thus, 2014 was the year to focus on things outside of my freelance work. Now that the dust has {mostly} settled, I want to, once again, bring my attention back to the job that I love so much!

I have photographed the Yeltons from their engagement until now, capturing every milestone in this adorable family's life! Their baby girl turned one, and is an energetic, smiling, young soul. Reminds me of her mom. :) You can hear Kendall's giggle through the images, and I hope they bring a smile to your face like it does mine!
