Say hello to one of the sweetest families!! May reached out to me late last year hoping to do a session together, but sadly our schedules didn’t work out. A part of me is always sad when that happens because I want to meet everyone and work with everyone. She seemed so sweet, so of course I was hoping that she would reach out again. And she did :) May and Peter were wanting to get family photos done. With living in the West Loop of Chicago, what better place for pictures than the area that their kids consider home.

We met up early in the morning to beat the heat! When I first met Cadeyn and Camilla, of course I immediately started talking in a little baby voice. I mean, seriously… so adorable!! And the eyelashes on these two?? Envious.

I had such a fun time getting to know this family and document all their special moments – from little Camilla’s love for princesses to Cadeyn’s love for running everywhere – it was the perfect day full of fun and laughter!! May and Chen – I hope you love your images for years to come! I can’t wait to capture your family again <3

With an eye for detail and a heart for connection, I specialize in refined and intentional portraits. From families and newborns to engagements and milestones, my work is guided by emotional storytelling — capturing honest moments and meaningful connection through luminous, editorial imagery. I value natural light and thoughtful composition, creating photographs that feel artful, elevated, and deeply personal.
