let's get to know each other

Call me Emily or Em!

I LOVE love! I am a faith-filled, sappy, hopeless romantic who married my high school sweetheart, Alex, in 2019. I've been in your shoes, so I am here to be more than just your photographer. I pray and hope to be your friend and make things as easy as possible for you. If you’re willing to trust me, all you have to do is be yourself, show some lovin’, and have fun. Leave the rest to me.

I capture all the sweet love stories in Chicago, IL, the surrounding areas, and wherever your love story takes you.

You're my kinda gal!
Your Photographer and friend

I'm a creative, but I also...

....am a sunset chaser. I will stop everything I am doing to admire and watch them.

...like my sugar with a splash of coffee served over ice and topped with whipped cream.

...practically live at Target and am expecting my own parking spot soon. Sorry Alex...

...am an aspiring plant mom without a green thumb.

...live off of Cookies & Cream ice cream.

...love getting my nails done. It's my guilty pleasure.

...am officially coining the term Type A+ because my plans have plans.

We have so much in common!

"Thank you for capturing the love we felt this day.

You went above and beyond. Capturing every guest,

and every heart felt moment."


I will be a great match for you if you are...

Madly in love, lovers of Christ, silly, homebodies who are perfectly happy spending a night in, quality family time is important to you, you love your furbabies, you appreciate the finer details in life, love traveling together, down to earth yet fun and bubbly, sentimental, and genuinely happy people who love those simple and intimate moments.

Does this sound like you?

Life is all about cherishing the people, moments & emotions that we hold close to our hearts...


And...you know what I love about love? How much it is able to grow over the years. Through shared experiences, challenges, the highs and lows, and so much more, love is always the constant factor. Let it be the glue that keeps you together. Because love, alongside faith, is amazing and when nurtured in a blossoming relationship, it is truly all you need.

Emily's fun and bright energy is truly contagious. She makes the entire day working with her a blast! She was extremely helpful and always went out of her way to make things easier for us. Did I mention she's a dog lover!? Emily was so patient and captured the sweetest photos of our fur baby. She's truly one of a kind and I've told her many times now, this is not the last time we will see her!
