Geneva Wedding Photographer: Kevin & Carrie

I felt so lucky to be able to photograph Carrie & Kevin's wedding! I have known Carrie since we were very little. Our parent's were good friends and we all vacationed together and spent many of days playing school, bossing each other, and just being silly kids.
So when I had heard that Carrie got engaged, I was THRILLED when she contacted me to photograph her big day.
Carrie was the most gorgeous bride, so relaxed and ready to have fun...so it was a great day! Her new husband Kevin, was the same. He is such a great guy and was so fun to work with.
I am so happy for both of them...and even happier with how the photographs turned out!
Here are a few of my favorites!

Glen Ellyn Photographer: Enjoying the Trees


I know too well how quick kids grow up, but with these two kids it really does seem like time has flown by. I photographed Elsa for the first time at about 3 months old and Owen at newborn...look at them now! Wow! So big, so cute, and so fun! It had been a long time since I photographed Elsa, and it was so fun to see how she has grown up! She was ready to get her photograph taken too...lots of smiles, lots of creative ideas, the perfect little model :)

We spent the afternoon at the Arboretum taking in the beautiful tress, exploring and chasing squirrels, and I got to photograph all the fun. I got taken to some parts of the arboretum that I had never been too, and I was thrilled! It was a gorgeous day and I am glad I got to really see what makes the arboretum such an amazing place.

So here are some of my favorites from the afternoon! Enjoy!

North Aurora photographer: Red Leaves Only for a Moment

This is one of my favorite places to photograph! During the fall the bright red leaves are so beautiful...but darn they never last long enough! This family was the one lucky group that got to enjoy some of their photographs with those red leaves glowing around them. I was so glad that we got to enjoy some beautifully warm weather, golden sunshine and the last of those red leaves. So Jennifer enjoy some of my favorites of your great kiddos!










Geneva Wedding Photographer: A Love Story

Maggie and John are the IT couple!
Maggie made the most beautiful bride and John was a strikingly handsome groom...and to think they told me when we first met that they are really unphotogenic...ha! They have to be kidding, right?! I find it hard to believe that they have ever taken a bad photograph in their life.

So the weather was up then down, rainy then sunny, but in the end it ended up being a gorgeous day with a lot of celebration to be had! I had a wonderful time getting to know John and Maggie and getting to know all of their friends and family.

So here are some of my favorites from the fabulous day!
