'm a lifestyle photographer currently residing and photographing in La Grange, IL with my husband and two little girls! I’m an introverted extrovert, and I love getting to truly know my clients. I grew up in a big Italian family, and not only did my Nana Carm teach me about the importance of a good meal, I also learned how immensely valuable and precious our families are.
Your Chicago Family & Motherhood Photographer
Some of my favorite memories include looking at old photos with my family. Those tangible photos actually become part of your family’s legacy, and it is so important to document every stage so like me, your kiddos and family can look back at old photos and remember life during that time.
ere’s the thing. THAT thing that drives my passion. Pictures will forever carry on your legacy. Your family’s legacy. And, I get it. The thought of booking a session, styling your family and all the prep that it involves can be a little overwhelming.
My approach to your Portrait Session
But, BUT, I’m here to carry all of those burdens for you and make things easy on you, all because I care so much about bottling up this time in your life through photos. And please remember, taking family photos is not all about your yearly Christmas card. It is about preserving this time in your life.
From start to finish, I will hold your hand and make this as easy as possible for you and your family. I’ll prep you, I’ll give you options, and I will be your guide and partner through it all. I have lists of locations that I know and love. I have a client closet, or I can send your outfit inspiration. I will not pose you like your prom photos, but I will guide you and prompt you through movement and actions. We want the images to feel natural and organic, and with my guidance, you will not be feeling awkward or unsure. I got you. All you have to do is show up and love on your people.
ver since picking up my dad's DSLR camera over 20 years ago, I have been in love with capturing moments. I am a perpetual learner, so I am always learning through courses and classes in order to fine tune my expertise.
My Background in Chicago Lifestyle family Photography
I really do love capturing the journey of families, and capturing motherhood is my passion. From documenting growing bellies to tiny toes, wispy little pigtails blowing in the wind and dad embracing mom-- it truly is all so beautiful and important. Thank you for allowing me in to your family's story.
"Oh my goodness!!! You did an amazing job! We just got the chance to really go through them and we love them so much! You can really see their personalities in these, and I think it's safe to say we had so much fun!"
