So many 2023 graduates I haven’t posted yet! This is another one of those girls that I’ve known since she was little, and watching her graduate high school made me feel really old! She started preschool as a sweet, adorable girl and went off to college as a smart, kind and gorgeous adult! Way to go, Em! 🧡🤍

I don’t do too many newborn sessions anymore, so when a new baby comes into the family, I’m super excited. This post is about 5 months overdue, but please look at this gorgeous new fam of 5 and their beautiful third little girl 💗💗💗

I haven’t posted in a while and I have so many senior sessions waiting to make it to this page. I didn’t want to skip out on posting images from this one. I’ve gotten to know this gorgeous soon-to-be college student pretty well over the past school year, and the natural beauty of the beach matches the natural beauty and vibe of the subject. She’s smart, personable, easy-going and grounded, amongst a zillion other things I could list. Here’s to an amazing 4 years at Mizzou!

Not a “mom-brag” cause he’s not my kid, but this 2023 high school grad was the only student in the whole class to play three sports all 4 years! 🌟. When I requested he wear his tuxedo to the session, this guy happily obliged and we were able to capture his dedication, talent, and unstoppable drive, from the basketball court to the baseball field, and even the golf course! 🏀⚾️⛳️

Cheers to an exceptional journey and an even brighter future ahead! 🎓

Sessions with this recent graduates family are always at the top of my list of favorites, and her senior session was no different. These colorful images match her colorful, beautiful personality, which matches the gorgeous human that she is! Pretty certain she will go on to accomplish some amazing things!

Another day, another beautiful graduate… and this one will be continuing her education at my favorite university as a BADGER!! Yay!! On Wisconsin!! ❤️🎓

Yesterday was graduation for the MHS Class of 2023, and I’ve known this graduate since he was in Pre-K with my graduate! His mom was one of my very first “mom” friends, and I love them both! Can’t wait see what amazing things you do as a Vol, MJ!

Here’s another one of my favorites from the MHS Class of 2023. Just like the senior from my last post, I’ve watched these beautiful girls kick a** since their kindy days.

Congrats, Hayley! Hope the next four years are your best ever 🖤💛

As my business grows older, so do all of the kids I’ve been photographing all of these years… leaving me with lots of senior sessions in the books. It’s officially graduation season, and this beautiful soon-to-be Mundelein High School grad is one of my faves. ❤️🎓✌🏼

I’m in disbelief that this girl, who was one of my best practice subjects when I was learning photography and starting my business, is now off to college in the fall! I’ve had the honor of watching from the sidelines throughout these years as she’s grown from the cutest, most adorable baby into this gorgeous, amazing HS grad! Congrats, Angelina! ❤️🎓

Start your weekend off by admiring this cuteness.

Start your weekend off by admiring this cuteness. I bonded with these two insanely adorable girls during our first sessions together, so I was very excited when I got to document their life with their new gorgeous baby brother. ❤️🍼❤️

Happy Friday everyone!

It’s been a while. I hate that I’m a horrible keeper of my social media. I’m the worst.

These are a few from my last family session of the season… and it was the perfect ending to the crazy year ❤️

I’ve worked with more seniors this year than ever and I’m not complaining at all… they’re one of my favorite types of sessions. I loved my time with this gorgeous soon to be graduate. ❤️

(As I was editing her images, Piper from @oitnb kept popping into my brain. Right?)

The dark skies and threatening rain clouds didn’t stop us from squeezing in this session. Thank goodness for new, beautiful clients who are easy going and willing to go for it… and for high ISO ❤️

It’s funny how we can freeze a moment in time with a camera and make it look so serene and peaceful, when the reality was that she’s actually holding her hair from blowing all over because of the wind tunnel we were standing in, all while I’m barking orders from behind my long lens. I have no idea how I got this split second moment, but I love it and she sure is beautiful ♥️
