Jupin & Resham's Engagement

When Jupin asked me to shoot her and Resham’s engagement session, she said she wanted a sunset shoot in traditional Indian outfits with props. I had no idea what this would entail, but everything turned out beautifully! Shout out to her entire family for helping with the shoot, with everyone directing, styling, and lugging heavy props back and forth through grass burs. We were definitely chasing light by the end of it since we couldn’t bring the props down to the main preserve and had to wing it, but everyone made it work!

Richardson Family Photos

This is the biggest family portrait I've ever shot! I'm normally comfortable with taking intimate portraits, so this was a fun new experience for me. And the Richardsons are one of the best humored family I've had the pleasure of meeting, so it was a joy hiking around Arbor Hills Nature Preserve with them!

Whitt Family Portraits

Demeree recently reached out to me for a family portrait session, and I was so excited to get back into shooting for others! We met at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve for some golden hour light. It was cloudy all day but happened to be sunny just as we needed it :)

It was my second time ever taking portraits with a kid, but he was so well-behaved and a dream to work with! Look at those BALLOONS!

I also learned a lot of tips that I will need to try myself in the future... like bringing along my sister to make my kid laugh for photos (so grateful for Demeree's brother!). Many thanks to Demeree and her family for making this a quick and easy photoshoot!
