Room 1520 Wedding

Here's a wedding that I shot a while ago. Preparing this post and remembering all the dear moments from that day has put smiles on my face. The reception was full of heartfelt moments, laughter, and tears. The speeches really moved everybody's hearts and definitely the bride and groom's hearts. The bride and groom were fantastic

Firehouse Chicago Wedding

It was Sara Jane and Christian’s wedding!

Christine and Matt’s Engagement Session

One day, Christine and Matt, the most lovely couple you could come across, was walking down the street; they were engaged in a good conversation full of intelligent observations and witty jokes. As they're passing colorful shops and random people, a magician walks up to them out of nowhere and starts performing his magic tricks. Matt

Garfield Park Conservatory Wedding

One beautiful day, at the Purdue University, a boy asked a girl to let him copy her homework -- and she let him. That moment, like a little spark, started a flame that remained warm and bright and withstood the tests of time and distance. Bryson and Shennae, ladies and gentlemen, one of the sweetest

Newborn Session

So guess what is one of the most rewarding jobs a photographer does -- photographing tiny babies that do nothing more than curl into a ball of cuteness. All newborns are cute. They are cute no matter what they do: cry and scream or smile and laugh. Their beautiful tiny faces fill their surroundings with joy and

Bridal Shower

There are so many ways to celebrate love and the obvious one is having a wedding. But let's be honest with ourselves, which bride can patiently wait in anticipation of that day when her groom puts a wedding band on her finger? So, again, the obvious solution is having bachelorette party AND bridal shower! And

Rohan just had his 3rd birthday and what a fantastic birthday it was! It took place at Pump It Up, many kids' favorite playground.

60th Birthday Celebration

Last weekend, we photographed a 60th birthday celebration. The celebrant's entire family gathered under one roof, cleaned, organized, and decorated the place and filled it with energy and happiness. The most energetic, however, were all the kids: they were running around, climbing on grandfather's shoulders, performing epic Star-Wars battles. The guests arrived from different places. Separated by

Chicago Maternity Session

This winter in Chicago hasn't been too bad this year. We haven't gotten as much snowfall as we did in recent years and the temperatures were somewhat mild.
