One of the questions I get asked the most (by strangers I chat with at the store, by clients, by really any new person I’m introducing myself to!) is: Wow! A wedding photographer? How did you get into that?! And when I get asked that question (even though I should be expecting it by now), […]

My Journey to Full-Time Photographer

This past June, I had the privilege of volunteering behind the scenes for Creative at Heart’s Round 9 Conference. It was held at WinMock in Bermuda Run, NC and was five days of jam-packed action! I’ve been wanting to share pictures/ stories from my time there since I got back, but since I was busy […]

Creative at Heart Round 9 Recap

It’s not very often that I’m front and center on the blog, but how could I not share these beautiful photos?! I am so grateful to my friend and fellow photog Katie for snapping these for us 🙂 Months ago, Katie and I got together and talked about doing these cherry blossom sessions, but you […]

10 Things You Don’t Know About Me

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so in this case I am saving you about 40,000 words about our wedding with pictures instead 🙂 Domenick and I got married in Chicago at the St. James Chapel where I attended mass frequently while I was still a student at Loyola and lived downtown. […]

The Story of Us | Part VIII

I last left off when I had moved to Kenosha and was really starting to find my groove there- I started my teaching job, had a cute apartment, and spent so much quality time getting to know Domenick more deeply in the context of our relationship. It became more and more apparent to me that […]

The Story of Us | Part VII

It’s that time of year again- you think you *just* survived the holidays and then BOOM. Valentine’s Day comes out of nowhere and you’re desperate for a non-generic gift for your man. For this post, I’ve enlisted the help of my wonderful hubby, Domenick. I wish I could take credit for coming up with these […]

What to Get Your Man for Valentine’s Day!

In the beginning of our courtship (I feel so old using that term but don’t know what else to call it!), Domenick and I were still living in separate states, with a six hour drive between us. We tried our best to see each other as often as we could, though it never felt like […]

The Story of Us | Part VI

The summer following graduation was a whirlwind. Right after graduation, it was my full time job to find a full time job. And while my degree was meant for me to become a middle or high school English teacher, that wasn’t necessarily the job I wanted to do right then. I looked into many different […]

The Story of Us | Part V

Ahh, graduation. The sweet feeling of freedom mixed simultaneously with uh-oh-what-now. I graduated with a BS in Secondary Education, a BA in English, and a minor in Studio Art (I definitely made the most of my four years of credits!). And for any NCAA basketball fans, I’m sure you know who Sr. Jean is as […]
