“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”

- DON MCULLIN

Photography has always been a constant in my life. From an early age I just knew that I wanted to capture the reality of life, and from the moment I discovered a 35mm film photo enlarger in my grandparents basement, photography has mesmerized me. I began truly learning and experimenting with my style of photography in high school. To this day, I remember the excitement I felt when my first exposed picture was developed, and it left a lot to be desired; but that didn’t keep me from growing, learning studio lighting and developing my love of photography and art.

A little about me: I live in small town Cary, IL (that’s northwest of Chicago) with my amazingly talented musician husband Adam, our two beautiful little girls and our two crazy pups Jake and Skiba. A few of my favorite things: photo editing is how I relax, music is where I get my passion from, and I may have a small obsession with shoes and Pinterest. OH! and I LOVE a good sunset.

My passion is being able to capture those once in a life time moments when the smiles are the biggest, emotions are at their highest, the energy is flowing. To capture that raw, genuine emotion is what I strive for in every photograph I take. I want to create a relaxed fun atmosphere where you can just be you!

Bonus cool points if you can guess the bands we named our pups after!
